Description Pedro F. Giffuni freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-09-04 16:35:43 UTC 
Created attachment 160723 [details]
New port in .shar format

I created a new fortune file based on the Book of Psalms from a
public domain Bible I took from Project Gutenberg.

It is basically a personal experiment but it was nice enough that
I thought I'd share it with the world.

Log:
  Book of Psalms from the Douai Bible (1610) in fortune(6) file format

  In general, taking random out-of-context verses from a Bible is a
  VERY bad idea. This said, this is an experiment to generate a not
  too bad fortune-cookie database under the following principles:

  - Only the text from the psalms, which are usually meant for praying,
    were taken.
  - The texts always include at least some context: you are always
    notified where the text came from and there is always sufficient
    text so that the phrases make sense.
  - The text was taken from the classic Douai Bible, a direct translation
    from the latin Vulgata. The old language will not give you false
    impressions that you are actually understanding it fully.
  - No effort was done to remove the original comments. Non-Christians
    may rightfully feel the translation is biased.

  This is meant to be a general aid for Christian meditation: it is not
  generally to be taken as my message-of-the-day from God.

  To use, you need UNIX fortune(6) utility and you should follow the
  instructions from the corresponding man page.
