Apple spreads sin

Some Orthodox Christians in Russia suspect that the symbol of Apple Inc. is anti-Christian

There are many ways in which Apple-haters criticize and ridicule the company. But have you met anyone who would accuse Apple of spreading the sin?

Well… according to Interfax.ru, some Orthodox Christians in Russia think so.

No, they don’t refuse to buy iPhone (the temptation is too strong). They simply remove the logo of apple and change it with the holy cross.

Translated from Interfax.ru:

Some believers in Russia dismantle the logo of “Apple” from the purchased products for religious reasons.

Portal “Interfax-Religion” became aware of several cases in which the Orthodox, including priests, changed the “bitten apple” with the image of cross.

According to them, bitten apple is the symbol of original sin described in the Bible and therefore is anti-Christian. Meanwhile, the cross in Christianity symbolizes victory over death, the Savior and redemption of the original sin committed by Adam and Eve.

xaxa:  Mobile connection and internet are from Satan, obscurants don’t need any other reasons.мобильная связь и интернет от сотоны и нефиг мракобесам ещё что то придумывать

poun:  I like living in Russia so much.Мне так нравится жить в России

eine_zwecke:  They change – so what? They do it on their own devices? I mean, they don’t suddenly come to your house to change somethingну меняют и меняют – какие проблемы? они же на своих устройствах дома это меняют? я понимаю, если б они вдруг конкретно к Вам домой пришли что-нибудь поменять

sergiobanderas:  By biting an apple – one can offend the feelings of believers))Укусил яблоко – надругался над чувствами верующих ))

roanpiper:  It should be noted that in the Old Testament the fruit is not specified. But we know that apple is the ancient pagan symbol. So, we have another example of the substitution of Christianity with some new paganism.Надо заметить ,что плод в Ветхом Завете не конкретизирован. Зато известно, что яблоко – древнейший языческий символ. Так что, имеем очередной пример вытеснения христианства новым язычеством.

yksys_lobotomia:  Where from does the God’s servant have money for devices from Apple company?Откуда от слуги господня деньги на девайсы от компании эппл?

klemens:  Kremlin’s towers have pentagrams.Пентаграммы на кремлевских башнях.

mike_poe:  In Russia asylums will never stay without job. В России дурдома без работы не останутся.

neo_los:  Domestic smartphones should be made of turnips. отечественные смартфоны должны быть сделаны из репы.

cquercus:  I think that Orthodox shouldn’t like Androids as well. Because Android is something humanoid – yet not  created by God…наверное к андройдам у таких православных тоже отношение должно быть не очень. Андроид- это ж нечто человекоподобное, но созданное не всевышним.
