  Linux for Christians
Although in the Bible fortune telling is looked upon as a bad thing, the Linux "fortune" program doesn't really tell fortunes but instead displays silly one-liners when run.
Many times the fortune program is run automatically and the result is displayed at your login prompt.
Simply download and unzip/tar this into your fortune data directory (usually somewhere around /usr/games/fortune) and run your fortune program with the "kjv" data like this: /usr/games/fortune kjv or alternatively you can just replace the fortune and fortune.dat files with the kjv and kjv.dat files to be able to run fortune without any paramaters.

Not all the potentially offensive fortunes are in the offensive fortunes files, nor are all the fortunes in the offensive files potentially offensive, probably, though a strong attempt has been made to achieve greater consistency.
