Or at least that’s what it looks like to someone who has avoided Apple their whole life, it was apparent to me as a teen that the walled garden was a trap. The iPhone and iPhone 3g where the only and last peices of apple hardware I’ve ever owned.
I came to this conclusion around highschool age, my take on the wording of this sentiment was usually “An omnipotent being fucked a women who then gave birth to his son/self, so that the child/clone could die to learn something he didnt before about the humanity he created”
also “I gave you free will, so you better use it to believe this story that you would never believe otherwise”
and finally “If i live life as a good person and get sent to hell because i didnt believe a fake sounding story then god is a pathetic narcissist and i want nothing to do with him anyways”
Im just thankful my parents would always ask “well what do you think?” whenever i asked them about religion. I always try to keep that in mind as a form of sympathy for people who were manipulated in childhood. “Faith” has better PR than “Ignorance”.
