User talk:Memesis/Smallest Possible Inerrant Holy Book

Love it

I love this. It would make a wonderful funspace article. Suggestions:

1. Rule 1.3 is unnecessary. Yes, statements will exist in the SPIHB.
2. Rules 1.6-8 seem duplicative. Injunctions/claims/dilemmas/events/facts aren't all that different. A sufficiently vague phrase like "on all matters" should cover all necessary ground in just one rule.
3. Rules 1.4 and 1.9 are duplicative. "[D]irectly or by proxy" and "means other than the Smallest Possible Inerrant Holy Book" are nearly synonymous.
4. I love the idea of "Ab". All it needs is some unit system, because right now it's not possible to tell which everyday person would get more Ab. I would specify something like: "Nonbelievers have 0 Ab, Believers get +1 Ab, Believers get +1 Ab per year of belief, Believers get +1 Ab per SPIHB rule they follow, All persons get -1 Ab per SPIHB rule they break".
5. Rules 3.3-4 are unnecessary. "Follow your group's morality UNLESS it conflicts with SPIHB's morality" (rules 3.1-2) is sufficient to be internally consistent.
