Emacs was originally an extensible text editor written by Richard Stallman, but it became a way of lifeand a religion. To join the Church of Emacs, you need only pronounce the Confession of the Faith: There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels. If you become an expert user of GNU/Linux, you can celebrate that with our ceremony, the FoobarMitzvah, in which you chant a portion of our sacred scriptures — that is to say, the source code of thesystem. In the Church of Emacs we have put an end to the priesthood of technology: everyone is free toread our sacred scriptures.
