Is LambdaConf For Conservative Christians, Too?
I’m an atheist.
In fact, I’m a bottom-of-the-barrel atheist, destined, some would say, for the deepest, hottest, and brightest-burning corners of hell.
You see, not only am I an atheist, I’m an amoral atheist, which is the absolute worst kind of atheist.
I believe that “good” can only, ever mean, “I like it,” and bad can only, ever mean, “I don’t like it.” Morality, in my view, is just how we try to objectify what are inherently subjective personal preferences.
(...)
From my perspective, I understand that attendees may find some actions that other attendees engage in to be sinful or morally wrong. This is your right, which we fully respect, and this would not preclude you from attending or speaking at LambdaConf.
Indeed, if people specifically asked you a question, such as, “I lie all the time, do you think that’s OK?” you would be more than welcome to graciously but honestly share your views on the matter, e.g., “No, in my view, lying is sinful and not permitted by God.”
The issue comes when we go beyond honestly answering questions about our beliefs, and go out of our way to tell people (especially minority groups, who are already struggling to feel like a part of a community they are disenfranchised from!) that our religious or moral beliefs condemn their activities.
Most likely, every attendee at LambdaConf engages in sinful or morally depraved behavior, as judged by some other attendee. While there may be times and places for communicating openly and honestly about these judgements, a professional conference on functional programming is not one of them. Every attendee has come to learn and share about functional programming, not to discuss religion, politics, and other potentially divisive topics (unless they choose to do so, see above).
This means that we expect every attendee to treat every other attendee with respect, integrity, kindness, empathy, and graciousness, and not to initiate actions or dialogue that could make others feel belittled, stereotyped, harassed, or intimidated.
That does not mean every attendee must or will agree with the personal choices that other attendees make, nor does it mean people should lie about their views if asked. Quite the contrary! But it does mean that every attendee can attend LambdaConf, enjoy great talks, amazing workshops, incredible food, and the company of a passionate community of software developers — all without feeling judged by anyone else.

Good Versus Evil
Some people just don’t want a bad person invited to a tech conference, even if their talk was picked by a blind committee, they are peaceful, they reject any type of violence, and they don’t pose a safety threat.
Unfortunately, morality is outside the purview of science. You can’t run scientific studies to figure out which beliefs are good, and which are bad.
If you decide to start measuring how bad people are, then you have to accept it’s subjective. Different people will come to different conclusions.
If some people are bad, then some are worse than others, and if some are good, than some are better than others. So you have to decide how good is good enough.
If you don’t support subsidized welfare or health care, are you good enough? If you support military drone strikes, with its attendant casualties, are you good enough? If you purchase electronics made with real slave labour, are you good enough? If you’re a Bible affirming Christian who thinks homosexuality is sinful, are you good enough?
Every conference that plays this game is going to make different choices. All these choices are subjective, and many will change over time.
That’s fine by me. We absolutely need gatherings for all communities. Just don’t pretend it’s an objective choice, or that your choice won’t be exclusionary and alienate some minorities along with lots of other people.
