   Actually some biblical passages use crypto code ( "Atabash"  if I remember   
   correctly - considerably more sophisticated then Julius Caesar's code).  And   
   there are a number of people, cities and other places encrypted or referred   
   to by a code.  All of which makes the "Cryptography is EVIL, it's the work   
   of the devil, made to collect your souls and to turn you into brainless   
   slaves of hell." claims rather lame.
