Why was this question asked? No, the place for an digital Bible is in the 3rd party realm.

Maybe one day the Gideons will branch out into the digital realm...

Sorry, Brian, I used the Gideon reference on the first page.

I think a better idea would be for Apple to work with the authors of Mac Bible to install a more sophisticated help system on each Mac. If you were talking about religion here is my take:

There is not an advantage for Apple to put the Bible on the Mac or iPod because it does not correspond to any of their application's functions. I view Macintosh users coming from all different types of backgrounds and places so it is their choice whether they need religious texts. That is why we have third party developers whom make software with different kinds of religious texts.

Oh dear - just had a horrible idea - put the religious texts into the help browser.

Then, you could ask put in searches like "copy and paste" and get help for - the Finder, TextEdit, Mail, the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes...

This waste of time was brought to you by the letters 'C' and 'V' and the number 8

I assume the poster would also want a large amount of scientific texts and links to ALL the material fundamentalists wish to ban and censor.

After all we do not want the users to maintain their beliefs solely based on ignorance.
