Title: Bible Navigator X: HCSB
Post by: TaraJayne on November 12, 2009, 08:14:15 AM
Those of you enjoying the controversial terrorist scene in Modern Warfare 2 can also now seek spiritual salvation on your Xbox via , the 'Bible Navigator X'"first ever Bible Reader on the Xbox 360".
The application - which will be available through Xbox Live Inidie Games from December - features "the complete Old and New Testaments, a search tool, bookmarking, and adjustable settings--for big screen viewing and customizing reading themes." No Achievements though, tsk.

B&H Publishing's Aaron Linne, said: "The Xbox isn't just secular entertainment anymore. We can use technology that other people developed to study Scriptures through a new medium. Some people are just more comfortable with a controller in their hands than a book."

Just in time for Christmas, too.

So Luke can really put the stud back in bible study :P

Jokes aside, if it included multiple translations / iterations, it could actually be an interesting piece of software.  A sort of all-in-one bible reference that does not favor any particular sect.

If it's simply the KJV or NIV translations transferred to your TV screen, it's nothing more than Christian fluff.

There are no Achievements apart from the fact you would have read one of the lamest fantasy books of all time :P

Where are my avatar awards for this ? I want the finger of god as a prop, or maybe a giant cross with one of the guys from Life of Brian singing Always Look on the Bright Side of life .... or maybe Mary Mageleine as a prop, she could pop out of thin air, claim she MIRACULOUSLY got pregnant and expect me to support her rather than run away.

That would be awesome.

A big floating hand pokes out from the top/right corner of your TV screen, pointing its finger.  Your avatar reaches out and touches fingers, only to be electrocuted.

Oh the controvery that would cause has my mouth watering.

Problem with Darwin is wether he meant it nor not his natural selection theory has a darker side...Hitler I'm looking at you... >:(

There's no darker side, only science. Religion and science don't mix.

im not a christian by any means, but the fact that athiests scoff at others for their beliefs shows quite a bit of ignorance. the thought that anyone on this planet knows whether there is a God or not is ridiculous. what i do know is that francis collins does believe in intelligent design. and his intelligence is far superior to anyone on this thread.

But its also the same for other religions as you have just proved yourself. Other religions find it hard to believe that athiests dont believe.
I dont believe in god and never will. And just because someone is far more intelligent doesnt mean they are right :)

Go me, for being an understanding agnostic. There may be an omnipotent deity, but we'll never know and if there is they'll be the most intelligent 'person' on this thread.

cool, i remember seeing him mentioned in some documentary a while back, so he definitely is more intelligent than anyone in this thread, though i bet i know way more about music, movies, gaming and sports than he does, not that it matters of course  :)

i think you miss understand me. im not saying that atheists are wrong. nor am i saying that christians, jews, buddhists, wiccans, etc. are wrong. all im saying is that if the greatest minds of our time cant come to a concensus on the issue of intelligent design, then a person shouldnt be ridiculed for their beliefs since none of it can be proven or disconfirmed.
