Please, please tell me this is a hoax.

I found this online. I really hope that whoever wrote it was joking. If not, I think they're probably insane.

open source is another name for communism??
Unix is indoctrinating children into satanism??
Apple computers is a CULT???

ROFLMAO!



Apple Macintosh:
iMac users
Hypnotically encased iMacs trick unsuspecting computer users into accepting Darwinism

However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. 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"2. 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 apple3 by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of darkness4.

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!

Given the now obvious anti-Christian and cultish nature of Apple Computers, is it any wonder that they have decided to base their newest operating system on Darwinism? This just reaffirms the position that Darwinism is an inherently anti-Christian philosophy spread through propaganda and subliminal trickery, not a science as its brainwashed followers would have us believe.

A Satanic, unevolvable chimera compels you to submit to Darwinism!

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?

ADDENDUM II (4/20/2002): A reader has also brought to my attention that the aforementioned Atheist and anti-Christian Evolutionist Richard Dawkins [ADDENDUM (7/27/2003): I have since added a special page on Dr. Dawkins and his activities] -- who likes to compare religion to a virus -- has used Apple's Macintosh computers since they were introduced. In fact, his infamous anti-Creation polemic The Blind Watchmaker relied heavily on an argument based on software that he wrote using a Mac. He purported to have proved Evolutionism by making his Macintosh draw little squiggles -- or "biomorphs" as he called them -- that changed over "generations". (This of course begs the question: if it took a created machine running created software to make these squiggles, how then does that refute Creation?)
Richard Dawkin's 'biomorphs'
Illustration of Macintosh generated "biomorphs" from The Blind Watchmaker. Here Dawkins shows us how to turn a cross into a swastika using Evolutionism.

While I initially suspected that the Apple connection here was mere coincidence, I dug deeper into the issue -- luckily, we at Fellowship Baptist have an extensive research library that also includes a representative collection of anti-Christian hate literature which we use for just this sort of investigation -- and was shocked at what I found. In the 1996 edition of his book, Dawkins includes two appendices detailing his little program. The first (included in the original 1986 edition) is entitled "Blind Watchmaker: An Application for the Apple Macintosh Computer". The first illustration on the same page as the title shows a Mac window (similar to the Explorer windows seen in Microsoft's OS) and the rest of the appendix includes many screen shots from a Mac, a number of them even featuring the bitten apple logo. It gets even more perverse in the second appendix (added material from 1991) entitled "Computer Programs and 'the Evolution of Evolvability'" (infinite recursion like this is a sure sign of a flaw in a theory). Here he shows how he "evolved" the "inspired artefact with which all this work was done"... the word "Macintosh"!
'Richard Dawkins' & 'Machintosh' from 'The Blind Watchmaker'
Illustration from the 1996 edition of The Blind Watchmaker.

At the end of the appendix he even encourages the reader to switch from IBM compatible computers to Macintoshes, saying that "you can exult in something of the feeling of liberation that may have attended evolution's great watershed events." What a ringing endorsement for Apple computers that is!

As you can see, The problem is much worse than we had originally thought as Apple has been aiding and abetting ardent Evolutionists like Dawkins since at least the mid 1980's.
A typical 'daemon' found lurking in Macintoshes

ADDENDUM III (4/20/2002): Another reader (it has been busy today!) has informed me of another link between Apple and the forces of darkness that my initial research missed. Apparently the Darwin OS is not the original creation of Apple Computers but is instead based off of an older, obsolete OS called "BSD Unix". The child-indoctrinatingly-cute cartoon mascot of this OS is a devil holding a pitchfork (pictured right). This OS -- and its Darwin offspring -- extensively use what are called "daemons" (which is how Pagans write "demon" -- they are notoriously poor spellers: magick, vampyre, etc.) which is a program that hides in the background, doing things without the user's notice. If you are using a new Macintosh running OS X then you probably have these "daemons" on your computer, hardly something a good Christian would want! This clearly illustrates that not only is Macintosh based on Darwinism, but Darwinism is based on Satanism.

ADDENDUM IV (4/21/2002): Apparently anti-Christian zealots -- as well as shocked Christians who have unwittingly become Mac owners -- are linking to this article, which explains the large number of emails we have received on this topic. More clues have come in showing the dark nature of Apple Computers. According to one of our readers, the new MacOS X contains another Satanic holdover from the "BSD Unix" OS mentioned above; to open up certain locked files one has to run a program much like the DOS prompt in Microsoft Windows and type in a secret code: "chmod 666". What other horrors lurk in this thing?

ADDENDUM V (4/29/2002): It appears we have entered a terrible new phase in the Evolutionism propaganda campaign that Apple Computers has been waging. Apple has just announced the "eMac", a Macintosh computer designed specifically to smuggle Darwinism into our schools! According to their propagandistic sloganeering, the "e" in "eMac" ostensibly stands for "education", although it should be obvious to readers by now that it's really a cryptic tipping of the hat to their true agenda: "Evolutionism". However, this isn't the only thing hiding behind this choice of moniker; according to my research, the name eMac is also a referrence to "Emacs", a program that is a standard-bearer for the Communistic Open Source movement mentioned above and whose mascot is some sort of effeminate-looking, horned devil-man. Is there no end to this tangled web of evil?

ADDENDUM VI (8/29/2002): I feel it is necessary to report here -- especially since this page continues to be referenced by those concerned about anti-Christian propaganda -- that Apple Computers' desire to convert people to the religion of Evolutionism has become more overt in recent months with their "Switch" campaign. This advertising blitz uses what they insist are "normal" people (although I wouldn't call a beatnik writer or a rambling, dazed teen5 normal people, but I guess this is Apple's hippy roots resurfacing,) to try and convince people to Switch from being decent Christians to crypto-Evolutionists in some sort of bizarre perversion of Christian Witnessing. (I personally have not seen any of these ads on the TV, but perhaps that is because the good folks at the PAX Network have made the wise decision to not air this cultural filth. The ads can, however, be viewed in all their propagandistic glory on the Apple website for you students of cultic mind-control.) Although called "Switch", this campaign is actually "Bait and Switch", luring the average, unsuspecting person with the false promise of "compatibility" (both with normal computers and Christianity) only to later foist acceptance of Evolutionism and anti-Christian values on them via the techniques discussed above.

One additional technique that I have noticed while perusing their new literature is the common cult tactic of indoctrination through a special insider language. This technique linguistically isolates new recruits from the outside world, forcing them to become more dependent on their cult handlers6. For instance, an industry standard connection for peripherals is idiosyncratically retermed "FireWire" (or should we just be honest and call it "HellFireWire"?) while the familiar Recycle Bin is given its new cult name of "Trash Can". Any "Switcher" trying to purchase equipment for their new computer or get assistance will be forced by this linguistic ghettoization into dealing with the only people that can understand the strange argot: brainwashed Macintosh users. It is then that the process of unbuilding the "Mac Newbie" and reshaping him or her into an Evolutionist begins.

Sure this wasn't out of the Onion?

If serious, it's probably true that ignorance is bliss. Otherwise the writer would know that "BSD UNIX" came from, GASP, Berkeley. That every modern OS uses evil daemons, and that IBM is also a bunch of communists ("Borg" release of OS/2).

positive it wasn't from the onion. it was a site titled "JesusSaves" or something like that. They had a huge banner at the bottom about banning Landover Baptist.

[billvon 3,080]

>They had a huge banner at the bottom about banning Landover Baptist.

That would be your first clue! Landover Baptist is famous for their "literal" interpretations of the bible and their lampooning of religious extremists. Some articles from their site:

God fails to break his own record for killing - True Christians know from the Great Flood that one of God's favorite ways to indiscriminately kill enormous swaths of children is by drowning them.

Mrs. Betty Bowers Reviews the Film, Kinsey - Mrs. Bowers reflects upon the rather useful Baptist miracle of making facts vanish by simply not talking about them.

Lucifer's Toy Chest - Banned Christmas Toys. This year, Satan's shopping list of Christmas gifts are guaranteed to send your child to prison – and you to a shallow grave.


And of course they have a gift store with things like the "what would Jesus do?" women's thong and the do-it-yourself circumcision kit.

Some people have way too much time on their hands. The article sounds like it was written by some religious extremist on acid.

[Nightingale 0]

yeah, but this site was trying to shut down landover baptist! I hope it was a hoax site, but I'm really not sure.

[miked10270 0]

Err... Kris,

Landover Baptist is a religious satire site. THere are in fact several sites who say they want to destroy Landover Baptist - unfortunately some of them are also satire sites... I'm pretty sure that "anti Landover Baptist" is run by the same folk who do Landover Baptist!

Confused?

ANyway. If you're broadminded enough check out http://www.technicalvirgin.com/ Their "TV Commercials" are a hoot, but definitely NWS They're at: http://www.infinitydog.com/technicalvirgin/commercials.html

Do you have a link to the website that this came from?

[wmw999 2,550]

Here. It's hard to tell if it's a hoax or just really over the top.

Regardless, there are unlikely to be more than a handful of people who really think this way (although the recent suggestion by Focus on the Family that SpongeBob Squarepants encourages homosexuality makes me wonder).

i think these people are the inspiration for artists like david lynch.
the programs they have on tv are more coulorful, it is same nonsense, but with bizarre looks and gestures and singing and dancing and zoo animals.
can be entertaining for a moment or two.

Damn Internet So much stuff to read so little time
Just did a quick lookie Me thinks the sites satire

But one persons satire is another person's reality.

Glad to see they have the thong in the large size

It's true - Spongebob and Tinky-Winky are fighting the US Sup Ct over gay marriage right now..... religious zealots (rolls eyes).

[base428 1]

Did you see James Dobson on Fox News Friday night? His Focus on the Family NEVER made any reference to Spongebob being gay. They were upset over the Teacher's Guides that were provided along with the video, saying the guides promote the acceptance of homosexuality among youth. Mr. Dobson was quite angry at the media over the spin.

And is it a surprise that the media spins another story and bashes Christians?

PS. The Apple Computer story made me laugh....yes, it's a hoax.
