Thanks for your post.  I am 16 years old but don't worry, I've heard
_much_ worse.  The Bible comment was definetly out of line.  I for
one can't stand it when people get obsessed with political
correctness.  But you simply can't go around belittling something
that represents the faith of about 48% of the world population.  And
as Eli pointed out, there are non-Christians who read the Bible.

Vulgarity and anti-Christianity will get this group nowhere.  It's
purpose
is to provide a place where people can help, be helped, and carry
on interesting programming discussions.  Flames and disrespectful
posts are not appreciated by anyone, and I suspect that their authors
don't feel to good about themselves after they send them out.

Thank you for reading and God bless,
