apple.

what have apple and religion in common?
lets check the list:
what do we need to found a religion?
- a god - or another form of intangible entity - check (the apple concern)
- a [dead] prophet - doublecheck (steve jobs)
- whorshippers - check (the apple fanboys)
- dogmas - check (.mov & itunes)
- a central church/a pilgrimage site - check (the apple headquarter/steve jobs' birthplace)
- infidels/rational people - check (me and at least 1 million others)
- sacred items - check (iphone, ipad, ipod...)
- holy scripture describin the sacred prohet's work - check (steve jobs' biography)
- last but not least: missionairy - check (all the apple fanboys out there)

further coincidence: there is already a religion which deals inter alia with a bitten apple...it has got more than 1 billion menbers!

so perhaps in a near future there might be a new religion called 'appletism'.
i'd rather be an unitologist...
