After the last elections, you'd think that this sort of thing would be an instant money maker. God is big business in America. I'm not trying to flambe bate, its true. Lots of money in religion.

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion - Steven Weinberg.

Too bad he couldn't get a good translation. KJV has some nasty error and I have no idea on the other one.
Yep, religion sells. Particularly the large number of evangelicals and the young people that flock to them. Listening to pop christian music makes me want to drown myself in my own vomit. All the merchandising disgusts me almost as much as the fact 90% of these people have no clue what they are.

Kind of like the South Park ep where Cartman tried to break into the christian music scene, and all he did was take popular pop songs and just stick the word 'jesus' in.
I have no problem with religion, if its not for shallow reasons for just blind ignorance. Nothing gets me more then people who believe something for the sake of believing something, and can't think of a logical reason or even a personal reason for doing so.

Who, or what actually won the US election? Intolerance. The Bush campaign was built around pushing God down people's throats; attacking Gays; and more Guns for the idiotic. Gays, Guns & God. Congratulations, you just participated in one big joke.

yeah... I have no issue with Christianity in general... but put an evangelical in front of me and start him off and I'll remove his head in five seconds or less.
also, the KJV, as I recall, is a translation from hebrew to aramaic to greek to latin to James-era english and thense to modern... so it's considered a lousy (from a scholary point of view) translation.
Now, if you gave me the plaut commentary for the Torah and the Haftorah on the iPod, then I'd listen.
For those unfamilier with Reform Judaism, the Plaut Commentary is the standard commentary on the Torah and Haftorah.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

Religion is big everywhere. In the Middle East, Asia, Europe (the Turkey in the EU debate, for one). Maybe not as much in Africa and South America, but why? Less money there.

This might be a deciding factor for me. I hadn't thought of putting the bible on an iPod. Great idea.
Plus it will be an easier sell to the Chairperson of the Kilbey Domicile Finance Committee (my wife).
Also note people; the guy is offering the text versions for free. Lotsa money in free /sarcasm]

Cartman: I swear sir, if I am only doing this for the money, then let God strike me down right here!
Butters (slowly stepping away from Cartman): uhhh
What a great episode

Wow, that's really cool to have that all on my iPod, but who has the time/energy/patience to read thru all that crap in this day and age. Maybe before TV was invented, but come on... people don't even have the attention span for a normal book any more... let alone that tomb.

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

Well, it's not like putting the text of the bible (many translations of which are already available for free on the internet) into a plain text format and placing it in the iPod's Notes folder is any hard feat.
This is kinda funny though:
Because iPod can only hold 1000 Note files, you can not have the entire Bible and all modules loaded at once. Try dragging in/out only the books you wish to study (thus leaving room for the other modules). The help menu option has a file list count.
I don't know how practical reading something on an approx. 4" screen is going to be though - I have a feeling it'd make my eyes sore.

I just think flipping pages is easier than using the scroll wheel, and that outweighs the iPod's compactness for me. I can't imagine the iPod, as it exists now (software limitations not withstanding), being a very good conduit for literature.
To each their own though.
