hmm

I once heard refrence to the Judeao-Christian Bible as an acronym,

Basic
Instruction
Before
Leaving
Earth

of course, this is some American cleverness and not actually what the word Bible means.

As a Christian, when I first saw the Windows Bible, for Microsoft's OS, I was offended becasue to me the Bible is one set of texts inspired by the One True God - that's what I choose to believe. Then I saw "bibles" of various segments of knowledge and realised that a new definition for the word "bible" - one that I think cheapens what I believe, and enforces a "whatever" society and moral relativism.

I echo the vote for Graal Encyclopedia or Graal Official Wiki, or even catchier and more marketable, the Graal Quick Refrence Guide.

what a ****ing crybaby. It's no big deal, it's called bible not for the holy meaning of it, but for the word itself. When people hear bible they think of the book with it all, everything they need on that subject is there, the bible for christians is just called The Bible if you say 'The Bible' usually you're talking about the christian book. but 'Graal Bible' tells me that its a book (or site, but whatever) that has everything needed for Graal. Don't make stupid threads like this, it's pointless,. and you're only doing it to start an argument, there's NO way that this actually offends you, because I know you have more common sense than that.

Anyhow it is a "serious" discussion about the name of the "Graal Wikipedia" or "Graal Encyclopedy" (wait did I just misspell that >.>?) Anyhow I myself find it:

1- A lame name
2- A name with a rather double meaning, wich some people see as offensive


Oh and sure this thread might seem useless to you But I catogorize useless as the 891 posts made by the user excaliber7388

and lets face it, you made this thread for an argument, not because you actually beleive that 'Graal Bible' is offensive, because the word bible doesn't always mean the christian bible. Just like 'cross' doesn't mean that big wooden thing they put Jesus on. If you really are offended, wake up, you'll find the world to be a very offensive place
