I can't think of a more deserving dedication.

When I clicked on your "bible thumper" attachment my Norton security program declared the page "unsafe".

Hi Walter,

The attachment is just a picture of the biblethumper logo. Should be harmless ;-) The app itself is available on iTunes. If you have iTunes installed, this link should take you to the app: http://itunes.com/apps/biblethumper

"So, do you think the LORD will save you?"

A: "From creepy guys in suits groping me in the men's room while I'm taking a piss?"

Nice comeback! I was too baffled to say anything though.

Yeah, I'm usually too baffled to think of such a comeback on the spot. But someone physically touching me while I'm taking a piss? Ok, different for women since we're always separated by stalls. But still, I think I'd have had to say something, if not haul off and punch the guy.

And, now I have a reason to get an iPhone.

I have the Skeptics Annotated Bible as a bookmark on my Blackberry. (I have a free one through work.) Can you develop it for a Blackberry?

Ow man, I have no clue about BlackBerry development, Android's a bit closer to home though.

I love the distribution of the ratings for your app:
5 stars: 27
4 stars: 3
3 stars: 9
2 stars: 8
1 star: 42

I like to think of this as corresponding to a grade distribution (5 stars=A, 4 stars=B...) in a class called "Religious Dogma 101". Some people passed with flying colors, most failed miserably...

yeah, bimodal distribution, eh, the negative stars are largely due to the fact that the app was free for awhile which drew out the fanatics ... making the app free to do some promotion was stupid in hindsight ;-) ... however, the actual reviews are encouraging ... some of the issues with the app (font, user interface) will be addressed in a free update
