Well, that's great for you, but why inform the rest of the net?  Unsolicited
evangelizing isn't exactly appreciated, or even effective, outside the confines
of your denominational college, after all.

Besides, it bears pointing out that one book I've read with an *amazing* amount
of violence, rape, incest, demons, infanticide, and so on, is considered a holy
book by you and about a third of the population of this planet.  A rather
disturbing number of murders and mayhem each year is attributed by the
instigator to the influences of God and/or the Bible.

So, as disturbing as Doom may be, it's only one of the latest additions to a
very, very long line of disturbing things that humankind has come up with.  And
probably one of the least dangerous.
