A "Christian" operating system.

Ok, when you all catch your breath from laughing really hard until your breath comes in paroxysmal gasps, come back and post your comments on this:

Hey, I'm Christian, but this strikes me as utterly ridiculous.

Are other operating systems, by definition, atheist? Or, perish forbid, Scientologist or Muslim?

Jewish operating systems?

Now, I've seen some OSes that I would classify as Satanic (OS/2, for instance), but what does a Christian OS have that others do not (aside from the Christian software bundle). Is there a command for Deus Ex Machina?

They're ripping off Linux the same way they ripped off paganism. Meh.

Neat.

Christianity spamming in a new compact, easy to use format.

For some "Christians" it's like they are "branded" it's trendy to have "Christian" everything.

I know a woman that I went to training with for VBS, who had Christian shirts, Christians jeans, Christian mints, Christian notebooks, Christian dish network, Christian ISP, Christian socks, ect.

She and I were talking about how it's big business now, she goes to a mega church around here and they have a coffee shop, a gym, ballet classes, everything in her life draws back to the church, they even have a restraunt at the church where she and her family goes when they are "eating out"

She seemed shocked and confused that I had Certs, a Star Trek t-shirt, and that my family eats at the Outback. :rolleyes:

They take the whole "you are not of this world" verse a whole lot different than I do.

What is the difference? All I can find is this Sward project thing that SEEMS to essentially be a java(?) IDE with bible based modules for developing bible software


This is weird as fuck

Well the bugs and problems you would get from the Christian OS would be God's divine Will, and thus when you call technical support, they'll just tell you to pray on it.

Why on earth would the christian bible study software be called "gnomesword?" Wouldn't "heathen slayer" or "atheist killer" have been more appropriate? Or are they trying to fend off the evil that are gnomes?

I saw part of a lecture once by an "ex-Satanist" who could walk into a Christian's home and find all the Satanist symbols that they didn't even know were Satanist!

Of course, that left me with the question, "What power do they have if the person who owns them doesn't equate them with Satanism?" He didn't get around to answering that in the few mintues I watched, unless I just missed it because I was laughing so hard.

Yeah, those little lawn statues are really Satanic... :rolleyes:

Neat. Followed the links to 'What Would Jesus Download' where I used the Google Safe Search tool that they provide.

Being the old lady with a schoolboy mentality that I am, I searched for 'penis'.

It was a remarkably safe search! All sorts of news articles about injuries and medical articles about how the piping works. Only one gay dating service site popped up. This is great. Now Christians need not fear, and leave the vast majority of the internet to those of us who like to make our genitals feel happy.

Hmmm....I'm afraid even I'm speechless about this one...

I have a friend like that too, she is suspicious of us still since when hubby and I met he actually was a satanist (although more of the "I am my own god" atheist type, and not the "I bow down to satan" type)

she tells me that I am raising my kids to be heathens, you know because we have dress up time, watch sci-fi and Disney, blow out birthday candles on their birthdays, read the Christmas story by candle light on Christmas eve, have an advent tree (apparenlty trees are satan's play things) and you know, I let them carve gourds in October :p yep, we are evil. You know what else? my kids have stories about fairies, and witches, and once I bought them a Harry Potter book :eek:

Christian dish network,
Sattellite tv with 50 channels, 25 of which are the same one because there arn't any more than that. What a waste of potentially worthwhile airwaves.

ROFLMAO!!!

Q: "Have you tried laying hands on it?"

A: "Yes, but the screen is still frozen."

Q: "Do you have a cross handy?"

Let's try out that safe search,
The word "porn" has been filtered from the search because Google SafeSearch is active.
Results 1 - 10 of about 534,000,000 for "free porn" with Safesearch on
Seems to work.

lol, you may sig that as an badge of honor. No post has ever left me speechless before.

Well.. why not ? One can have distributions aimed at scientists, with LaTeX, gnuplot and several compilers and a nice option to add mathematica and/or maple. Distributions for music lovers/composers with all kinds of cool editing features.
Why not one aimed at a religious group with religious software and safe search functions ?

I wonder if they have holy water cooled system in that baby too

Because some of us like the free porn.

Then don't get this distro ;)

That's a red hat? You know what he's digging? A hole for the body of the guy he just killed to dye his hat red.

Of course! They'll only have the holiest of holy relics for that OS! This OS is 100% Jesus friendly!

But I must let everyone know I am Catholic! I must go around and tell people my view and shove it down my throat because Pope Benedict XVI tells me too! AHH MY BRAIN!

Now THAT is over the top! :D

But the iconsystem is so outdated...

I guess that's why someone wouldn't buy Red Hat Linux, and use this version instead...

I said relics.

Ok I am curious


It is dowloading right now I am going to install it on a virtual machine

To get rid of viruses, do they get an Exorcist to exorcise the demons?

Anything involving "slayer", "killer" or any other such would be profoundly unChristian. :confused:

*Gasp* You bought a Harry Potter book!! Maybe you are the reason I had to stand in line for an hour and a half. EVIL! =)

I am installing it right now ... I will have screen shots tonight or tomarrow (almost time to run for me for a few hours)

"Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The initial release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. Future releases will contain even more great Christian software."
:eek:

Consumerism disguised as religion. Just what we need....

Wait...that's like yoga...

:eek:
It is probably entirely reasonable to point out that Bible On Disk is the best available Christian software, when you think about the vast range of alternatives.

Here is a teaser for you all

*runs away before Madonna can get me*

Oh Emm Gee, I can't believe I missed that.

Does anyone else notice the irony in specifically using Ubuntu as the Christian Linux distribution base?

Anyone else reminded of John 2:13-17?

How do you start the demons on that OS?

Why isn't there a NS OS?

Yoga isn't really practiced like a religion though, is it?

I thought it was streching and breathing exercises, mental focusing exercise and such.

because if jolt had anything to do with it you computer would never work:p

yoga is a big part of the eastern religions

And thou shall buy the merchandise for it brings me joy ?
And the LORD spake: "And lo, evil shall fall unto those who do not keep the Sabbath. Unless the Gift of God Shop is having a BOGO sale on crosses."

"Jesus said to the crowd: "My Father hath commanded you to stop this evil! He does not control oil, or taxes, so to stop bugging Him. He is very busy making sure unborn babies are born deformed, er, special. Verily."

Oh Emm Gee, I can't believe I missed that.

Guess not.

You're looking at African Humanism; Christian edition, ladies and gentlemen.

If the OS crashes, all you can do is pray for divine tech intervention.

"Oh Lord, you are so big, so absolutely huge, gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you."
