I know theres email addresses you can add that have the bible or Quran on them but can anyone send me the actual script? Id like it for my students please!

There isn't a script that's been made for the bible. I'm guessing it would be pretty hard considering how much text it contains?

probably would be, but i dont mind putting in the effort but would just need the script to search and post up texts when users asked.

That would be a crap script IMO

Ty for ur opinion but considering christianity/islam make up more than 2/5ths of the world population it would be a useful script!

roflmao - yes im aware as i indicated in my intial post, i would just like the script for it ^_^

I started making this before my pc died. You can use the LDS (mormon) website and just use the xmlhttp object to download each page. The hardest part is going through it all and extracting the verse/chapter text from the html and then adding all the possible books, chapters and verses. I got to about the end of exodus

I'm pretty sure you can get both the Quran and the Christian Bible in TXT format, wouldn't that be easier to parse? If you search really hard you might even find it in some DB/XML type of form.

EDIT:Quick search showed sacred-texts.com that seems to provide full versions that look like the can be indexed pretty easy:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/isl/index.htm#quran
http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/index.htm

"The Noble Qur.aan" which is a free ebook also seems very nice if you can parse CHM files: http://www.fatwa-online.com/downloads/dow004/noblequraan.chm

Thanks for your replies although the problem isnt really finding the actual texts to put in, rather just the actual .js script that would call up the file and verses through commands and perform searches

ah ok hoping he replies too since hes done this before O_O

I was hoping somebody would make this so I could be lazy. If no-one fancies it, I might be able to give it ago sometime (sometime that isn't 3:30am )

The Bible can be done quite simply... Make arrays of book names, chapters and verses and generate a random number between 1 and the max.

E.G:
randomly selects book 1... Checks number of chapters in book 1. generates number between 1 and (e.g. 30). We'll pretend it was chapter 4... Checks number of verses in chapter 4. generates number between 1 and (e.g. 65). We'll pretend it chooses verse 3.

Then loads and parses Genesis, Chapter 4, Verse 3 into either chat window or Plus window... (option perhaps).

sorry for the late reply i was busy staring at your avatar Hope you do mate would be greatly appreciated by squillions of folks out there

I seriously doubt it would be that appreciated, and I doubt a squillion folks actually exist and would use a bible script, it's hardly a great feature ridden script and i doubt it'd get into the scripts database because of that.

If anything I think Technology should largely remain Religion free, accessible by anyone, unfortunately this is impossible as people can create their own websites etc and you will get some people who will take things too far in every religion.

The only use i could see this script having would be to make 'comebacks' to people who go on about Christianity or Islam to me if ever, I live behind a church and can't stand them, they've tried to block me using my back gate and have planted some small trees outside it and have piled up far too much manure against it too, they once confronted me too saying that i did not have a right of way (even though we do) so I started to quote some bible quotes at them and asked them why they thought that they were better than Jesus and do not follow some of their books teachings, for instance Jesus washing peoples feet and showing love to everyone, whilst spreading manure at my feet and not allowing me to walk to the shops via my own back gate.

I am not religious as you can tell, I'm quite anti-religion because my experiences of religions have never found me any peace or answered any questions, and the people from these religions also try to enforce their beliefs upon me and only believe that they are right.

I'm not anti-belief, far from it, I support Buddhism  for example which is more believing in yourself and following a generally good and respectful way of life (also I've had very good and fun experiences with Buddhist monks and shared a meal with them) If your beliefs keep you happy great, I'm glad for you. Just don't try to enforce your beliefs into modern life and it's people, you see this all the time now, religious types blaming this and that etc, CTRL+ALT+DEL web comic have recently had a story arc where the main character creates a religion around gaming yet the other religions of the world all come to abolish it for being 'stupid'

meh I've rambled too for far too long now, I'll save my thoughts for some other thread where it is more called for.

If a script is made, I suppose a favourite quotes section would be a good idea, or a sort of e-book of whichever book you were reading and bookmarked where you had got up to
