Comments on: A comparison of communication products available from Apple, Inc. and God http://flagrantdisregard.com/iphone-vs-prayer/ Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:08:51 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: God and the Bible http://flagrantdisregard.com/iphone-vs-prayer/#comment-360647 God and the Bible Mon, 15 Sep 2008 13:22:42 +0000 http://flagrantdisregard.com/?p=1394#comment-360647 Just a couple of remarks: 1 The world now possesses about 2000 million copies of the Bible. I am sure that if you count the total number of products that Apple Inc. has produced and sold until now, you only get a fraction of this number. 2 In general the communication products from Apple Inc. can only be bought by people who live in relatively rich countries. The Bible, God's communication product, is also available for most of the masses in most poor countries. 3 As regards reducing global sufffering: I am sure that lots of people can get a lot of comfort and a lot of joy from the products of Apple Inc. But I am also sure that if you ask people who possess and regularly use both the products of Apple Inc. and the Bible which of the two gives them the most joy and the most satisfaction, most of them will answer: God's communication product: the Bible Just a couple of remarks:

I also have issues with the pizza; which seriously, I have prayed for and suddenly been provided with. Just sayin'. : ) Although I didn't get to choose the toppings; so maybe you have something there. That choir of angels thing… try Temple Square, SLC, Utah…pretty close, and it’s free.

Anyone who has ever had any contact with any religious institution knows that God is not free, what with the collection plates, annual dues (for my peeps, anyway), assorted fundraisers, honoraria for special events, and so forth.
