In Response To: CRIPES!!!! *OT* (Tru7h)

Geez, some people have real problems. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that I'm a devout Catholic, it really makes me angry when people are so closed-minded as to think that condemning everything that doesn't precisely perform with their point of view is the way to be a true Christian. It's obvious that this person has a vendetta against Darwinism and Macintosh computers, despite not knowing much about either (Flower Power case designs tricking "unsuspecting computer users into accepting Darwinism"? The Darwin mascot designed to influence children? (How many children do you see messing around with BSD Unix code?) chmod 666 is a secret code now? "Think Different" is encouraging people to turn away from Jesus?). While I'm sure I could argue all of the (supposedly) learned Dr. Paley's points rationally (i.e. Darwinism and Creationalism are not necessarily mutually exclusive, computers do not incite devil worship), it's probably better to just shake my head and move on, maybe while muttering, "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

Glancing over the article just now, I noticed the line "Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism" and broke out into spasms of laughter, though that actually might make a good slogan when Apple decides it's time to replace "Think Different [From Jesus]". Though actually, that might be in Revelations somewhere, something about Satan spreading his message through devil machines. Maybe it's Revelations 16:13-14: "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

Er, maybe not.
