I took a look at the math in the appendix of a Bible Codes
book.  It all appears very quaint, but they left out the
error factors from astrology.  When the moon is in the 7th
house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, the Hebrew characters
should have undergone a randomize.  Furthermore, according
to scientology, Hubbard's Dianetics should have been
translated to Hebrew and inserted in the Bible text every
other character, to produce the required matrimony that
pans out God's opinion on Dianetics as it relates to the
end-time prophesy of Armageddon.  From a top-down approach,
the entire Bible should be re-written using the same number
each of the Hebrew characters, so that it says exactly
what Husein wants it to say, and predicts the next horse
race for the money.  Is there an interactive web site
yet, where you can input what you you want to know about,
where a Bible Codes program crunches out the answer?
