HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Screw apple and religious nutters both HAHAHAHA!

In mother Russia, you sue Apple.....

Guess it was going to happen eventually.
There is already the comparison to Alan Turing's death.

... i wonder, what late Christopher Hitchens would say...

The apple is not the symbol for anything. Paintings and cartoons of Adam and Eve might all have apples in them, but at no point is an apple explicitly stated or even implied as being the forbidden fruit eaten by them in Genesis.

Maybe cartoons are more canonical than scripture in Russia.

Normally I'm inclined to side with whomever is Apple's adversary, but in this case they're both equally evil.

'blasphemous' is the sole property of sheetheads......

It's not the Apple logo that causes problems in Russia, it's the Church...

 

[JJ1217]

For once I'm actually gonna side with Apple. But seriously, they're both idiots.

 

[alidan]

wow... besides this post there is nothing i could say that wouldnt award me a sanction.

Apple to Russian church: Your religionism is wrong.

 

[The_Trutherizer]

If you want my opinion they can get around it by adding a worm to the logo. I think it would be quite appropriate.

I hate all religion, but I hope they sue Apple for all they got! (And donate the money to science? >_>)

Apple to Russian church: You are looking at it wrong; look at it from the side. Problem fixed.
Apple to Russian church: We hold the patents to all Apple related symbols. If you wish to continue to use apples as a symbol in your religion, you'll have to pay a licensing fee.

F%@# You,
my religion is Jedi

Later, you find out Apple's going to sue the bible for using its trademark logo.

 

[byanymeans]

This is the kind of thing that gives actual bible reading/following Christians a tainted view in society today. This hurts, does not help Gods cause.

I wonder what the Flying Spaghetti Monster would, in His noodly goodness, say to this ...

Religion is just a bunch of silly myths and superstition, much like astrology. There may be a creator/supreme being, but if there is, we know nothing about it. I hope, someday, people quit needing the crutch of religion, and start living with the reality that we do not know and cannot know.

Nobody the story behind Apple's logo, Steve Job's took that to he's grave but one likely story is it's a symbolic tribute to the godfather of computers Alan Turing who after breaking the German Enigma code with he's invention of the BOMB took his own life when the British justice system prosecuted him for being a homosexual. He killed himself by biting into a poisoned Apple.

Apple, Orange... Whats wrong with all the damn companies picking up names of fruits?
Oh well, this is funny to say the least.

Just wait until Islamists discover the Android Icon is a depiction of Muhammad.

So many people of religion taking themselves and their myths far too seriously.

 

[daglesj]

The word 'religion' to me, just means - Hatred.

Actually it is a symbol. It represents the Apple that supposedly fell on Newton's head.
