quotes from the TempleOS charter:

* God said 640x480 16 color graphics is a covenant like circumcision.

* God said to use a single audio voice -- a single frequency with waveforms and, maybe, amplitude envelope.

(it's linked in the original, but just in case:

seems he thinks Jesus was a Commodore 64. I'm not into judging people's religions but I will say that's definitely an unusual interpretation of the relevant texts.)

I can't tell if that's a joke or a legitimately held belief. Reading the rest of the charter (and vaguely from memory), it seems like the developer believed God literally told him about this OS.

Also, the KJV-only perspective is misguided given the textual scholarship that renders KJV as somewhat outdated.

Are there good reasons to think that this is supposed to be serious? It all looks very tongue-in-cheek to me.

Yes. The lone author is supposedly schizophrenic.

If this is all just a joke it's a very elaborate one.
