Is this thread what it meant to be? Starting a discussion about not offending people with biased religious views, taking neutral stance, but using words like 'bedtime story', fairytales, imaginary beings, ... seems to be a frustrated try that would be better to never happen. I must say that It is a funny rationale, to not say tragic. On Fri, Sep 9, 2011 at 9:00 AM, Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@novell.com> wrote:

It should be pointed out that SWORD itself is not a religious text, it is software for reading such texts :-) Indeed, I have no doubt it could be made Cthulhu compatible (or whatever) with little effort. I suspect including religious texts offends some minority of militant athiests / secularists who make it a hot topic. Including such material in proportion to its relevance seems entirely reasonable to me (as a biased Christian of course ;-)
Then again - if people are easily offended they probably need to read the 'fortune -o' output in a tight loop until a healthy sense of humour, and an appreciation for the ridiculous starts to develop :-)
ATB,
