who is the Christian programmer
The other major Abrahamic faiths (Judaism and Islam) also have Satan. The tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons has its own sort of devils called baatezu [wikipedia.org], powerful monsters belonging to an organization spanning the plane of Baator.
who put this openly theist comment in the config
In a way, computer programming is inherently theist. A programmer's work creates an environment within a process, and the programmer is interested in its maintenance.

I propose deletion (Score:5, Insightful)
I propose deletion of the configs on the following rationales:
1) Too obscure. As a percentage of the population, no one uses Puppet.
2) Almost impossible to verify the facts. Can a significant fraction of the population hack into wikimedia and verify the obscure corners of their config?
3) No original research on wikipedia. This is way too self referential to be "encyclopedic"
4) Generic lack of notability. A blog-like /. post does not count as a cite. Show me the page of the New York Times citing this.
