An app called Bless Every Home, which has been backed by some of the biggest names in evangelical circles, is mapping the names and addresses of immigrants and non-Christians. (newrepublic.com)

I did that and converted a Jehovah's Witness to Linuxism.

The fundies are always carrying on about daemons, I hope you set the JWs up with all the "best" ones, and more.

I actually had them install Ubuntu Christian Edition and showed them the bible apps where they could even use their own interpretation of the bible.

I don't like to waste my time just to fuck with people, I usually try to fuck with people in a way which benefits society as a whole.

That's a win from every possible perspective.

Are the JW's using this? Two stopped by my door a few weeks ago to convert me or us (my wife is Catholic, I'm atheist). I noticed that they drove separately, and I wondered why they hated the environment so much (we live off the beaten path). And I'm pretty sure they ONLY stopped at our house, one parked in our driveway and the other along the road in front of the house. It definitely didn't seem like a general canvass.

How does that relate to Linux usage?
