I know that it probably won't interest most people, but I thought that
was pretty cool. Knowing that a distribution provides not only the
Bible but notes to help you study the content is neat. Maybe if our
resident homosexual gets acquainted with it, he will have a chance of
avoiding Hell.

 
Are you talking about UbuntuCE?  If you're looking for enlightenment
out of the box:

Bodhi Linux appears to be more of a minimalist philosophical statement
rather than any specific Buddhist content.

 
Actually, I was referring to Xiphos which allows you to download your
choice of Bible version from within the software.

UbuntuCE does include Xiphos but it is a third party application that is
also available for Windows and Unix. I'm not sure about MacOS. Other than
UbuntuCE it isn't included in any distribution 'out of the box'. That's
like saying Linux provides 'John the Ripper'.  That also runs on Linux,
Windows, and other OSs. As far as 'out of the box', iirc you have to
select one of the packages even in Kali.

Other than the CE build, not out of the box on Ubuntu. You have to add a
PPA since some of the prerequisites aren't in the standard Ubuntu
packages.

Friedrich Nietzsche

As far as the Old Testament, Marcion had the right idea. No reason to be
concerned with the Jews and their genocidal tribal god. New day, new
covenant.
