VB/C# and global warming *are* both somewhat religion and politics... but anyway, here goes something: VB.NET is an inefficient language consuming greater CPU power resulting in higher carbon emissions, but backed by the right wing as it's corporatist agenda enjoys the greater energy profits while the religious agenda dislikes C# due to references in Leviticus which equate it with the devils work. Rebuttal? The government refused to fund monkeynet with the 4bn for the NBN; thus we have the problem.

No one can argue with the first part of what you said, but the bible seems to contain very few software language references. I ran all languages listed on the Wikipedia page through a bible grep and found the word counts below. Sadly, you will notice that there are no specific .NET languages mentioned and the word 'sharp' does not even appear in Leviticus. The new Google language Go is the winner, after which Forth and Assembly programmers will be pleased. Everything else is really obscure. I'm surprised that no one in the bible has a lisp.
