| Do you think Apple should include a copy of the Bible ...
Do you think Apple should put a copy of the Bible ...with the basic set of applications and documents that is included with the iMac ?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Steve Jobs is an agnostic (or is he an Atheist?). What do YOU think he'd do. Personally, I don't think I need a bible on my Mac. It would just clash with the Porn...

That's fine with me as long as they also include Bhagavad Gita Bahai Texts Buddhist Texts Confucian Texts Corpus Hermeticum Dead Sea Scrolls Divrei Torah Enuma Elish Ethiopian Texts The Egyptian Book of the Dead Gnostic Texts Hindu Texts Islamic Texts Jain Texts 1st and 2nd Books of Jeu Mormon Texts Nag Hammadi Texts Old Testament Apocrypha Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Pistis Sophia New Testament Apocryphal Acts New Testament Apocryphal Apocalypse New Testament Apocryphal Gospels Taoist Texts Sepher Yetzirah Shinto Texts Sikh Texts Tibetan Book of the Dead Urantia Book Zen Texts Zoroastrian Texts and the book of satan 1 - 666 As well as all other worldly texts like the Klingon Bible |

A better question is why Apple (or any computer company for that matter) should endorse any religion. Something tells me that those who want the bible on their systems aren't exactly having a hard time finding a copy (for free). On the other hand, NeXT used to include a ton of great reference material on their systems. This included a Dictionary (with illustrations) and the Complete Works of William Shakespeare. They also included a free copy of Mathematica for systems sold to students. The World Book Encyclopedia included now is nice, but I think Mathematica would be better.  |

Is this thread a spawn of the Bible on your iPod thing? I'm a devout Christian and I think that: a) This would never in a million years happen and b) if it did it would be a bad thing. The backlash of people feeling that something was being forced on them would be huge, and besides it's not like there isn't a good amount of software, websites, etc to access the Bible readily available. Have Google, will have Bible. Those of us who want it can seek it out easily. I suppose that if a company was founded by someone with very strong beliefs, and those beliefs dictated how he or she ran the company it would be in their prerogative to do something like that. But Apple is hardly that company.
