    By your scripture, the old testament and atheism are equivalent.
      I think you may be taking my regexen a bit more seriously than I intended. "an eye for an eye" is not in any way a summation of the old testament, please apply this regex to all of my samples above: s/./:-)/gs.

      update Oh, then I guess it was me that was taking you too seriously :-), <gilda>nevermind</gilda>

        Oh, not overly serious (I hope). Just pointing out that the code you gave for both does the same thing. That is, :-)

    Neat :). I personally prefer vim over emacs, but it's still neat. Only if the religions of the world were as simple to understand as one line of code :).
