I actually think it's quite rude of Mozilla to mock people's religious texts like that. I certainly wouldn't do it.

Whose religious text is this mocking? Text below:

Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.

from The Book of Mozilla, 11:9 (10th Edition)

It's a parody of the Bible book of Revelation specifically.

What makes you say that? Do you have specific verses to cite that reveal the similarity?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Mozilla "apparent quotations hidden in Netscape and Mozilla give this impression by revealing passages in the style of apocalyptic literature, such as the Book of Revelation in the Bible."

Read the two and decide for yourself.

"And thus the Creator looked upon the beast reborn and saw that it was good.

from The Book of Mozilla, 8:20"

OK I can see how that is similar to Genesis 1:31:

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."

The Name of the Rose is a movie about the crusade to eliminate humour and leave us with dour religiousness, and the inhumanity that ensues. Check it out.
