UbuntuCE does include Xiphos but it is a third party application that is 
also available for Windows and Unix. I'm not sure about MacOS. Other than 
UbuntuCE it isn't included in any distribution 'out of the box'. That's 
like saying Linux provides 'John the Ripper'.  That also runs on Linux, 
Windows, and other OSs. As far as 'out of the box', iirc you have to 
select one of the packages even in Kali.

Other than the CE build, not out of the box on Ubuntu. You have to add a 
PPA since some of the prerequisites aren't in the standard Ubuntu 
packages.

"One does well to put on gloves when reading the New Testament. The 
proximity of so much uncleanliness almost forces one to do this."

Friedrich Nietzsche

As far as the Old Testament, Marcion had the right idea. No reason to be 
concerned with the Jews and their genocidal tribal god. New day, new 
covenant.
