					<description><![CDATA[Is this a satire piece? This is just silly.

I understand how people may see the use of the term &quot;bible&quot; as having religious connotation, but a simple google search of the definition of the word shows that it can be and is used informally to denote &quot;any authoritative book,&quot; its synonyms including &quot;handbook,&quot; &quot;manual,&quot; &quot;guide,&quot; etc. &quot;Quran&quot; does not share this definition and exclusively carries a religious connotation; as such the &quot;Tech Quran&quot; and further iterations will now hold religious undertones where it had not previously.

Furthermore, where does this stop? There are upwards of 15 major religions around the globe, does this mean that the administration plans to create a version of the Tech Bible for every possible religion just satisfy people who jump to conclusions by quite literally judging a book by its cover? Perhaps before getting offended and screaming &quot;insensitivity!&quot; students should take a step back and think about topic at hand.]]></description>
