Across the Pond: BibleThumper iPhone App Finds Cool Bible Verses for Atheists
http://prmac.com/release-id-8636.htm


Font Tag Konstanz, DE Nov 16, 2009 in iPhone

Konstanz, Germany - BibleThumper allows atheists to keep the most funny and irrational bible verses right in their pocket. With the BibleThumper App on their iPhone an atheist is always ready to confront fundamental christians or have a little fun among friends. BibleThumper randomly displays interesting Bible verses. The user can shake the app to see a fresh verse. BibbleThumper contains a careful selection of the most funny and irrational quotes from the Bible.

This application is meant to counter the countless Bible verse applications currently available on the iPhone AppStore. None of those apps fulfill the needs of atheists: showing that basing your life on a 2000 year old fairy tale is not a very rational thing to do. By pointing out inconsistencies, BibleThumper hopes to raise awareness for atheism and its benefits to society.

User feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and the author is currently working on an update for the iPhone App.

User Review by by Valinore: "Finally a good use for the bible other than weighing down hotel drawers so they don't blow away."

User Review by rilus: "Very funny app and it goes to show that just like Christians can cherry-pick passages from the Bible to suit their whims, so can anyone else. Don't buy into the mumbo jumbo that only their interpretation of the Bible is the right one. After all, that's what every single Christian sect claims."

Device Requirements:
iPhone and iPod Touch 3.0 or later

Pricing and Availability:
BibleThumper is only $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.
