Steve came down from the mountain holding two perfectly flat slates.
He turneth them on, lo and behold, text appeared and Steve read to his minions.
I am Steve your LORD who bought you out of the land of Redmond.
Thou shalt not have other Apples before me.
Thou shalt not make a windowed image nor download and bow to the heathen protector and guardian of the Gates.
Remember the Sabbath day, it is set aside for Worlds of Warcraft and iTunes maintenance.
Honor thy father and mother for they knoweth nothing of these slates.
Thou shalt never recycle thy iPad.
Thou shalt never commit adultery, especially with the Google and the Window.
Thou shalt not pirate software.
Thou shalt not bear false witness to thy fellow Apple owner.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's iPad.
Or his iPod, iMac, iPhone nor IMac Mini
In other words, in the secular world we now inhabit we need something else to worship and believe in. Technology, in a world of scientific truth, is the natural heir. Change Steve for Bill and nothing, except for some nouns, really changes.
