For example, if you're doing a project on various religions in a school computer lab, sometimes you'll have trouble accessing resources beyond Wikipedia if someone has decided that that religion is "troubling." I can only imagine that this parental control option is more severe, considering how this is being marketed.

Basically I said that if people are willing to pay for this, then hey maybe they don't need the money, or deserve it. It's sad that only the really extreme (see; Stupid) Christians get heard these days. There are plenty of good ones, who show that there is a place for religion in today's society still. I think science and religion need to get on, not fight eachother. I don't think it's likely to happen though. Which is a shame. I can get a free bible app on my Blackberry (I had it but never used it) and the same applies to any tablet, which would also have all the functionality, and potentially more, than this thing has. So, yeah, if you're willing to buy it, then God has decreed you have too much money. Dammit I left an awesome comment that the internet ate up.
