Found an admirable tome but it's in praise of the wrong god? Faith Converter is a godsend for priests, vicars, rabbii and holy men of all descriptions. Preach next Sunday's sermon from the Vedas, Noble Eightfold Path, Torah or Das Kapital!
Faith Converter converts text between the vernaculars of thirty-one different religions, encompassing Atheism, Biopsychosocialism, Buddhism, the Cargo Cult, Christianity, Communism, Confucianism, Druidism, Falun Gong, Global Warming, Hinduism, Islam, Juche, Judaism, Keynesianism, Linux, MacEvangelism, Mahanism, Maoism, NIMBYism, Roman, Scientology, Shinto, Sikh, Stalinism, Taoism, Thatcherism, Trotskyism, Unitarian Universalism, Veganism and Voodoo.
Converted text can be copied, saved or printed.
The critics rave
- "This program is both highly offensive and blatantly antisemitic. Versiontracker will lose my renewal for including it. Thankfully, free alternatives to this service exist, including macupdate and macshareware."
----Some bitter guy on VersionTracker.com
- "From the self-same highbrow guttersnipe who brought you iPong and Final Excuse Pro, whether you wanted them or not, comes a fresh offering on a blood-stained platter."
----Rated 10.6 on PerversionTracker.com
- Nominated for the 2006 Ignobel Peace Prize
- "For all aspiring (or even candidating) UU ministers/seminarians who've complained about the tedious work of translating their non-UU textbooks into a workable theological language. Your prayers are answered. Now quit your whinging."
--- Obijuan from Meadville Lombard Theological School
- "This app is basically in very poor taste. What is needed these days, especially on the internet, is more tolerance... It's totally useless."
--- JOHNINSAPPORO on MacUpdate
- "All my problems are solved! I don't have to answer any more hard questions here. Just a click or two, and suddenly, you agree with me!"
--- Tom Gilson from thinkingchristian.net
- "Converter Ë un programma per Mac OS X di plagiarismo teologico che converte i testi sacri o di riferimento fra le religioni e ideologie pi˘ popolari!"
----Neural.it
- "This is hilariously awful. I'm searching for a reason to use this."
--- Stephen Clay Smith on MacUpdate
- "not much use for this app... some things it says about Christianity arent accurate at all and may offend"
--- FOODTASTENICE on MacUpdate
