From the lovely folks over at Objective Christian Ministries:
Hypnotically encased iMacs trick unsuspecting computer users into accepting Darwinism
Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called… Darwin! That’s right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don’t advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an “Open Source” license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, “lickable” buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.
But is this really such a shock? Lets look for a moment at Apple Computers. Founded by long haired hippies, this company has consistently supported 60’s counter-cultural “values”. But there are even darker undertones to this company than most are aware of. Consider the name of the company and its logo: an apple with a bite taken out of it. This is clearly a reference to the Fall, when Adam and Eve were tempted with an apple by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness.
This company is well known for its cult-like following. It isn’t much of a stretch to say that it is a cult. Consider co-founder and leader Steve Jobs’ constant exhortation through advertising (i.e. mind control) that its followers should “think different”. We have to ask ourselves: “think different than whom or what?” The disturbing answer is that they want us to think different than our Christian upbringing, to reject all the values that we have been taught and to heed not the message of the Lord Jesus Christ!
*Sigh* I just love fundamentalist Christians… you can’t get enough of them for my entertainment dollar!
way cool! even MORE reason to like Apple over Microshock…hmmmm..maybe I will start a cult and call it “Pagans for Apple.”
“maybe I will start a cult and call it “Pagans for Apple.””
Oooh! Oooh! (Raising hand) Can I join? Can I? Huh?
Will you teach evolution at the cult meetings???
Pagans for Apple
Bwa hahahaha! ME TOO ME TOO!!! …And I just thought it was my Mac that is posessed!

man… is it just me or does it seem that fundamentalist christianity is a Bene Gesserit genetic project to breed the most clueless and easily led semi-sentient being possible without growing fur?
I was raised catholic and I don’t understand these people.

There’s a lot of suspicion going ’round that this site is actually related to the “Landover Baptist Church” parody site that it purports to be fighting against. Something like the anti-Subgenius group that Ivan Stang started at one point.
It’s hard to tell, given the reality of Jack Chick, but some of the stuff on the site is a little too calculated to make you groan. The “National Association of Christian Game Theoreticians,” a “Creation Science Fair” whose first place went to a project called “Using Prayer to Microevolve Latent Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria,” etc. And despite their purported antipathy to the internet, it’s difficult to believe that none of the names of people and organizations they use would show up somewhere else on the net if they existed. They don’t.
And, most of all: If you look on the “progress” page and scroll down to June 8, 2000, you’ll see a blithe article about how they were making a promotional beanbag bear which was going to be purple (“chosen to signify the King of Kings”), but “apparently the color purple has been appropriated by the homosexual community….[so] we’ve decided to use a less controversial color scheme: a multicolored pattern that evokes the rainbow that marked the end of the flood.”
Sorry, that one I just have trouble buying. 🙂
True or not, this site has been a great example of a fast-spreading meme: I saw it first on Chip Unicorn’s LJ maybe 48 hours ago, and have since seen it on MacSlash, Slashdot, maybe OS News and at least two other LiveJournal pages!

LICKABLE BUTTONS?
You gota love that! I think you like the entertainment value of Jehova’s witnesses too! I LOVE that story Kelly tells about how you gave them “impure” thoughts =). I had two come to the door yesterday and I started laughing. They asked me what was so funny and I told them (as I was closing the door) that they looked like “Men in Black”, too bad they don’t watch movies and had NO idea what I was talking about!

thank you!! 🙂

Re: bwahaha
I love when people try to save my soul.
Really. It’s so much fun. “Okay, okay, okay…lemme see…we’re saved from our sins by murdering the deity that we sinned against in the first place…do I have it right?”
bwahaha

Hi There!!
Actually, it goes deeper than that!! Anton LaVey, former head of the Church of Satan, was quite fond of Apple computers, and created a parody ad of himself on the Church of Satan website with the Apple Logo and the phrase “Think Different”. (Which fits the CoS philosophy all too well) He also had a link to Apple Computers which said “This site was created by Apple computers, etc…” And, Apple actually made him take the ad down, with further instructions not to use the Apple logo!!
The story is here: http://www.churchofsatan.com/Pages/Apple.html on the CoS homepage.
Hell, if Apple is good enough for Satan, it’s good enough for ME! 😀
Well, to be fair, Apple goes after everyone who uses their logos without permission–even Mac users’ groups.
You have to. Trrademark law specifically states that if you fail to take action against someone who uses your trademark without permission, you can be stripped of the trademark. It sucks, and makes companies do things that seem heavy-handed at times, but there it is.
I didn’t know LeVay was such a Mac fan, but on reflection, I think it makes sense. Interestingly enough, the town of Costa Mesa, California has a financial district that was designed by an architect who was also a LeVay follower; the street through the middle of the district is called “Anton Road,” and the five banks that form the heart of the financial district are arranged in…well, you get the picture. 🙂

seeing as how truth is stranger than fiction, I’ll believe this is real and have a good laugh. The laugh I get even if it isn’t real is only a a little less jolly.
