[img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] Check out this article! :

Creation Education: Evolution Propaganda

this is an "objective" article by Dr Richard Paley, teacher of Divinity and Theobiology at Fellowship University. (I can only assume they have Theomathematics, Theochemistry, Theophysics and Theoengineering as well)

Besides attacking PBS (The Public Broadcasting Company, a US television/radio broadcasting company that specializes in children's programming) and other "subliminal propaganda" such as Pokemon, he spends a good amount of the article attacking Apple Computers, and the Macintosh in particular.

From the article:
Quote:
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.
So, apparently I'm a Communist pagan.

Quote:
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 apple2 by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness.
and finally:
Quote:
ADDENDUM: It has been brought to my attention that the Darwin OS mentioned above now has a cartoon mascot (no doubt to influence children) named Hexley (pictured above) -- a platypus dressed as a devil who performs occult magic, i.e. hexes. They're not doing a very good job keeping their ties to the forces of darkness a secret, are they?
And so, in order to fully orient myself with my new coven ( [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] please note my tongue FIRMLY entrenched in my cheek) I have added Hexley to my sig.

Worship Satan, buy a Mac ! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Ok... I read the article...

If I am now on Satan's puter... (pause)....gee, I don't know quite what to make of that.

So if you on PCs, you are on the path of rightousness? Gads. That sounds terribly generic. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Ok.... I wonder what Yorick would make of this one! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I guess the really scary part is that there are people out there who believe that stuff...

So........

Ye devils and demons abound, being that I am primarily a Macintosh technician, I am thus tainted and will be reserved a seat in hell!
(so long as they have ice cream, that's fine with me)

And worse, I also work on PC's, and network my OSX machine to my Windows 2000 machine! Ha ha! I have corrupted my PC, soon I will corrupt them all! Microsoft, you are going to hel....wait, my minions tell me you have already sold your soul to the devil?

Good, this is good. As partners in crime, we shall HAVOC WREAC, I mean WREAC HAVOC upon the world!

HA ha HA ha HA ha HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

*gasp* *groan* *cackle*

Need I remind ye of the Scopes Monkey Trial? I thought it already settled the fact that Darwanism was only the broadened examination of creation... and if Jesus died for our sins what's so bad about an apple being used for anything? What I think is REALLY funny though is the fact that he hasn't pointed out a thing about Windows and it's many evils. 1: it was stolen, and if stealing is a sin then that's pretty bad... 2: Its symbol is a WINDOW with which to gaze into HELLISH demensions 3: Bill Gates... just LOOK AT HIM... how can he NOT be evil! He cutts his own HAIR! lol... I could go on and on... the fact is this is a guy with way too much free time on his hands

OH and another thing: Apple Computer -the company- came up with their idea from a man who was too high on drugs to actually make since of what he was naming his company at the time so how can you say that any of these "coincidences" are even theoretically ENTENTIONAL? O_o LOL... Ok fine mister Anti-Darwin, i'd like to see you live in a world like 1984 without any macs... yeah worship non individuality and perfectionism, that's as bad as paying tribute to the DEVIL HIMSELF i say
Microsoft is the SMOOTHE and easy path to HELL ! Mac OS was a gift given to us by Heaven itself and the Devine Trinity!

*please note, I'm not actually being seriouse about any of this but hey it sure is fun to type! Now I can see why people like this do this all the time!*

I dunno... I just saw a new Mac at Frys... it had the most awesome flat panel (wide screen) monitor I've EVER seen. I was also one of the nicest looking systems I've ever seen. Even the speakers were clear acrylic (including the sub). They're light years ahead of the PC makers when it comes to style.

I'm being tempted to go over to the dark side.

Hey folks,

Farewell friends, i'm going to the Fellowship University.
