is Linux Christian Compatible?

I just got done reading on a Christian site that Linux is not for Christians................. And that hit me like a ton of bricks...

Quote:

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.

Quote:

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.

it's your choice whether or not you believe in that crap.

In the words of Nine Inch Nails- God is dead, and no one cares, if there is a hell, I'll see you there.

And at first I thought the link was a joke, and then I started to read and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. And to answer the age ole' question- No, Linux will not make you evil, No it will not make you sin, and NO, it will not piss whatever god you believe in off.

maybe the writer of the article is a Microsoft shareholder

(no offense, just fooling around)

honestly, I wouldn't believe in that, but then again, I'm also not a religious person and so on, so I can't really be the judge of it

I think that the site is an excellent spoof - secret codes, IBM and Microsoft are God's tools, etc.

Either that or Care in the Community has a lot to answer for.....

Hey, that's a good point about it possibly being an attempt to scare "christocrips" away from Linux so that they will go flocking off to have Bill Gates save there souls.

And oh my sweet loving god, Linux now makes me into a cult member and member of the communist party!

This site is hilarious - go to the 4kidz page. It truly is an inspired piece of spoofery!

crashmeister · 09-21-2003, 04:46 AM

Cool site! Thanks for the link.Haven't read anything that comes even close to be so funny for a long time.

he won't talk about Internet and Microsoft probably because everyone use their OS.

Microsoft, Internet, Bill Gate, Microsoft are diabolic symbols. And now Mac and Linux as well? Man, we should throw the PC out of the real-windows.....

at the bottom of the page the advertising says support our website by visiting the good christian business 'google' and google runs well over 6000 linux red hat servers. so either he's a hippocrit(sp?), he doesnt know what he's talking about, or he supports linux. whichever of those he is, it means you can use linux.

<edit> i think some of the stuff on the 4Kidz page is awful

XavierP · 09-21-2003, 06:14 AM

The 4Kidz stuff is like something out of the Simpsons.

XavierP · 09-21-2003, 06:31 AM

I urge everyone to read the site - it is pant-wettingly good. Especially the reason given for changing the web host.

the link doesnt work for me oO

i really hope that guy isnt for real ¬_¬

i wont go into a rant about christianity, but lets just say that i really dont like it. I have my own beliefs, and dont need to follow other people to make my mind up. Christianity is the most flawed religion that exists.

Moved: More suitable in General as Discussions go in General. Also, please do not let this thread turn into any type of religion flame war, or it will get closed quickly. Regards.
