religious issues
     
        Questions which seemingly cannot be raised without touching
        off {holy wars}, such as "What is the best operating system
        (or editor, language, architecture, shell, mail reader, news
        reader)?", "What about that Heinlein guy, eh?", "What should
        we add to the new Jargon File?"  See {holy wars}; see also
        {theology}, {bigot}.
     
        This term is a prime example of {ha ha only serious}.  People
        actually develop the most amazing and religiously intense
        attachments to their tools, even when the tools are
        intangible.  The most constructive thing one can do when one
        stumbles into the crossfire is mumble {Get a life!} and leave
        - unless, of course, one's *own* unassailably rational and
        obviously correct choices are being slammed.
