Get your cross-bred penguin while it’s hot…

I don’t want to spend the time trying to figure out if this a parody or for real, but how often do you get the chance to use this combination of categories: Computing, Easily Amused, and Religion.

Forgot to mention, this distro is not for fundies - it reportedly includes Evolution.

Science is answers that must always be questioned.
Philosophy is questions that may never be answered.
Religion is answers that must never be questioned.
Politics is answers that lobbyists pay for.

This is absolutely retarded.. how can these people call themselves christians when they keep selling out their own religion?  A christian OS… people will do anything for money huh?  And the poor idiots who buy this think.. that by shelling out a few hundred dollars.. that they’ll be that much closer to being able to get into heaven or whatever..  This is why religion is so sickening… seriously.. this type of crap makes me wonder how people got so retarded.

From here: ”Ubuntu” is an ancient African word, meaning “humanity to others”. Ubuntu also means “I am what I am because of who we all are”.
Other than that I’m disinterested coz it sounds like a WOFTAM. LOL

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

Well they’re not doing it for money - the OS is free.  But they haven’t created an OS, either - they’ve just created an Xtian graphical theme or skin for the Ubuntu OS. 

All of which is perfectly fine.  The Ubuntu philosophy does say that “Every computer user should have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, share, change and improve their software for any purpose, without paying licensing fees”

I believe this purpose would fall under “any purpose”.  But it did give me a chuckle - a “Christian OS”?  Does this mean my data is saved?  Calling St. Silicon! (AKA Jeffry Armstrong

Well, I always suspected that Windows was a tool of Satan, but Ubuntu seems pretty benign.  I just installed it in place of Windows myself (not the Christian edition though), and have yet to see any Satanic messages or even anything specifically anti-christian.  Oh wait, no Bible, it must be evil…

Imagine what they’d do if someone installed FreeBSD on their pc…
For those that don’t know, FreeBSD’s mascot is a little red Daemon (see it here at http://freebsd.org)
