As a young adult he did go to India to find some new spirituality, something sorely lacking in SoCal and/or Berkely. But at the moment he probably has no religious affiliation. I recall an article where he gave money to schools in the area that were public and private except for ones with religious affiliation.
Please, boys and girls... don't take this web site too seriously.
Well, okay, it's hard to take seriously at any level, but I'm 99% certain that it's a parody, not a real Christian web site. I think it's just cleverly done to look like a real nutcase web site, to appeal to those who would go for this kind of thing, and then suck them down some unexpected turns like this:
(According to the description, "Teach your child this important message with this delightful Lambuel clock." It says: "I will come on thee as thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.")
(Says: "Will you be my husband?")
What's scary is that I can imagine a few real zealots with completely non-functioning irony detectors going for this stuff.
I suppose it's even possible that a real zealot with no functioning irony detector created this stuff in the first place, but that's much harder to believe.
I think Jobs is pretty much a straight up agnostic, and that Gates is most likely an agnostic, non-practicing Christian. Pure speculation, but if either were religious, we would probably have heard about it. . . The press often likes to highlight these things, the slant depending on the publication.
I acutally got out of bed on the wrong side this morning. I forgot that I was spending the holidays at my parents' house, where the other side of the bed faces a wall. Phone rings, I leap out of bed and stub my toes on the wall.

From the footnotes: "I have been informed that the teenage girl in the "Switch" commercial was not on drugs at the time, as I had previously suggested. Apparently, her incoherent rambling was the result of something called a "reality distortion field" -- which, I'm assuming, is some sort of strong magnetic field generated by a device (similar to the one I reported on here,) that Apple Computers developed to assist in their mind control. My apologies to her and her family.". Got to be a wind up (I hope).
Either someone's got too much time on their hands or it's time to be afraid..... [/B]
I think people have the freedom to discriminate in this country. . . . Besides, we do it for price, QoS, etc. If I knew that Apple were donating large amounts of it profits to communists, I certainly wouldn't buy a mac.
he talks about the girl in the "switch" campaign being under the control of the "Reality Distortion Field" that Macs apparently emenate!!!
That came from a tip by a web page reader!!!!
I knew about the early 666.66$ price as a kind of joke mixed with the Apple as Knowledge thing . . . and I must admit I could see how so Christians could see Jobs as intentionally participating in the creation of "The Beast -WWW" etc . . . . but I no longer believe in that hullabaloo whooey

But maybe his religion is less apparent?

Freedom to discriminate doesn't necessarily mean capability to discriminate does it ?
And isn't discrimination supposed to be a bad thing ?
Ah Sedgy,
The fact that you 'discriminate' in buying apple over any olde pc shows how corrupt our freedom to disciminate really is...haha
But yes... adam and eve... the bite out of the apple... of course apple computers are satanic.
Aren't we all eating babies for breakfast?
So, linking to them makes me fairly convinced this other site is parody as well (or run by really dense christians).
Fish
I think Gates is an agnostic. Barbara Walters asked him on live tv and he hesitated and said something...so i'm guessing agnostic / atheist
