User Reviews

  • To be judged eternally by infinitesimal mistakes is as immoral as it gets. Love me or be destroyed forever, sais YHWH, and yet he's not there to be loved. and demand his subjects to be by faith only. Yet it's claimed to love people through some book; as is sending some imaginary "son" which does magical impossible things that never happens irl. the real is finite; the irreal is infinite. The unreal is bigger than infinite. real is the physical; irreal is the possible. unreal is the incoherent, meaningless and insane. The idea have to be spread, because it's designed to take people in their vulnerabilities. It's filled with emotional provoking simple dramatical stories and useless "wisdom" and "parables" explained as if mysterious and yet simple just to make people feel special. I've gone through the bible countless times in many variations, and there is no way to know the absolute for a fairytale that's filled with contraries and inconsistencies. Give me a hint if you like to know more about those, i've done extensive mapping. imagine me hiding a note in the sand for my children in a forgotten language. i give them a specific instruction about not eating candy at a specific hour. and they end up interpreting things wrongly, or not being sure if it was actually me who hid it there. then they did so, and i threw them into a torture-chamber, and tortured them day and night until i died. would i be considered better or worse than the christian god? where people are loved by the imaginary being through suffering, demanded to be poor and told that sadness is better than laughter. to be subjects of abuse, and worst of all; to bet eternity on a imaginary idea. good luck dying with "nothing".
  • Firstly I had to turn antivirus of as it saw Xiphos as malicious. Secondly I did not manage to get as far as reading the bible. My language (finnish) was not found through online scan. The program did not recognize the downloaded zip file. Finally I decided to settle for an english bible but still the program stated that I chose not to install any bibles. Usability of this program makes me wanna cry.
  • If ONLY the bible, dictionary and commentary windows were tabbed so you can just click the tab to switch between bibles, dictionaries, commentaries I WOULD BE FREE FROM RUNNING WINE FOREVER! Right now I have to suffer through e-Sword and The Word in WINE. So close!!! Hate to give a thumbs down for this but it really slows things down when you have to use the "everything" tree.
  • This is good software when it works. 3.1.4 is broken on debian arm and no one responds in irc and there is no forum or email help. If you are lucky enough to have it working on your machine it's a great program. Please fix 3.1.4 on debian arm.
