'Book of Mozilla'

[coolduude]

If anyone is using the Web browser Mozilla Firefox, go to the URL bar (where the web address is) and type in ‘about:mozilla’. Apparently this is called the ‘Book of Mozilla’ and is a pseudo-apocolypitc ‘Biblical’ type writing made by the makers of Mozilla Firefox. Every time you type in about:mozilla a new quote from the ‘book’ comes up. It’s a story I guess, equivalent to Revelation.

Anyway, I think this is offensive and just plain odd. I find it weird that they imitate the Christian Scriptures and I think it’s offensive in that way also.

What do you guys think? My brother found it funny so maybe I’m just overreacting

Hi.

I think you’re overreacting a little.

Wikipedia tells us more about this long-running “Easter egg”–a joke embedded often in computer programs.

The Mozilla team wrote this in an apocalyptic style as part of their competition against a company that effectively “crucified” Firefox’s “father” in the market place in mid-1990s, Netscape Navigator. That company was Microsoft and their browser: Internet Explorer.

Such jokes are not to be taken seriously. There’s plenty of pseudo-scripture out there that we should take seriously in disputing and refuting in our Catholic need to spread the truth and fullness of God’s word.


It seems that the Book of Mozilla’s prophesies are coming true. Their market share increases as Internet Explorer decreases.

My dear friend

From the end of the book of revelation -

18]
I warn every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if any one adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

19] and if any one takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

I think we should not mess with sacred writ. I don’t have Mozzilla but doubt it would be good.

God bless you and pray for me please:thumbsup:
