Hit this link in Mozilla. It's cool.

or, if you use the old netscape, the original message:

And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.

and, if you try it in IE, you get a nice blue background. Interesting, eh?

also, in mozilla or netscape, try about:fishcam or hit CTRL-ALT-F. or type about:anythingyouwanttowrite and you will see whatever you wrote after the about. (in the unix version of netscape it says "Whatchew talkin' 'bout, Willis?"). There are several other netscape easter eggs, but I forget them.. I think the funniest thing is that microsoft decided to include code for about:mozilla in IE (...or they didn't remove it entirely from the netscape source...)

body {background-color: FFFFFF}
a:link {color: 000000}
a:active {color: 999999}
a:visited {color: 777777}
a:hover {color: 888888}

Nice test, but not exhaustive. In fact, is is a fairly mild test, as only the background is invalid in any way. No values like 1FFFFF were tested.

Instead of calling the poster a liar, why not ask for the specific test he used?

Re:"Thou shalt ... kill."

And if you look at the last 50 years, Muslims have definitely killed more people in the "name of Islam" than Christians in the name of Christianity. Funny how those hell-bent on slinging mud at Christians always have to come back with "Remember the Crusades!" Yeah... how many centuries ago was that? Do you think anyone will really pay much attention to what happened on 9/11 in, say, 300 or 400 years??

Re:"Thou shalt ... kill."

It didn't say not to eat red meat- that's ridiculous. However, you're not supposed to eat meat with the blood in it. Pretty much sound advice for health concerns anyway. See my post about about the difference between the Hebrew for "kill" an "murder".

Regardless, we Gentiles live under the new covenant, the two greatest commandments being "Love God" and "Love others, as yourself".
