I'm a Christian and I think his views are a bit extreme. As in all walks of
life there are good eggs and bad eggs. But not all eggs are the same! :)

Subject: [NTLK] Fwd: [OT] Christian fanatic Attacking Apple

>
> 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". 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 apple2 by the serpent. It is now Apple Computers
> offering us temptation, thereby aligning themselves with the forces of
> darkness3.
>
> 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 compells 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 -- 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 'daemon'

> 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
> above). 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?
