COOL In which case may I suggest that when the glorious revolution comes 
and the Law/rson symbiote ascends to its rightly place as the leader of 
the world,(sans Canada) it blames the necessary culling of the non-
conforming on the bible?
 We should remove all copies from the bookshelves around the world 
immediately and burn it in mass bonfires as it is obviously going to be 
warped beyond recognition by crazy dictators any useful stuf contained 
within it has obviously got to go as well but hey ho thats the price of 
freedom. I do believe I have a copy of the catcher in the rye that we 
could use as tinder.
