Free Bible app hits 10 million downloads

[LAGC]

Can your cell bring you closer to God?

Oklahoma based LifeChurch.tv thinks so. Tuesday the church announced more than ten million smartphone users worldwide have downloaded its free Bible application. LifeChurch hopes by having a copy handy, people will be more likely to read scripture.

The app, which is based on the church-funded website, YouVersion.com, launched in July of 2008. Since then, users have spent 3.5 billion minutes trolling through Bible passages. Yes- that was billion.

During a webcast on YouVersion.com, pastor Bobby Gruenewald announced what he called a “revolution” taking place.

“Could this be the generation that’s more engaged with God than any other generation in history?” he asked.

Makes you wonder how many of those 10 million downloads are atheists who just like to have a Bible reference handy to make a point... I can't tell you how many times I've had some evangelical stranger in public spout off some non-sense (either to me or someone else) and it would be fun to counter with some "illuminating" verses detailing the angry, genocidal God from the Old Testament that killed women and children for fun...

"There's an app for that!"
