Being able to interleave the Vulgate with another translation is really cool!

Religion is a cancer that really needs to be cut free from humanity, not co-mingled with technology and the modern world. It's disgusting to consider the sheer number of people that have been killed in the name of fictitious "gods". Religion is a tool used by the wicked at almost every point in history to justify their greed, hatred, violence, and unjust actions as being the will of some higher power that only they can hear. Even now, far right nutjobs are again co-opting religion to push their vitriol into the minds of the weak.
