Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Goddess: Christians Should Take Note of the Increasing Clarity of the Neopagans.

It’s mid-September, which means another annual Apple Event has come and gone, complete with the new iPhone 15 and Vision Pro, a new spatial computing device. But what grabbed the attention of many last week was Apple’s five-minute Mother Nature ad.

In the ad, a group of Apple employees nervously await the arrival of a peevish and snappy Mother Nature, who is dropping by for the annual corporate responsibility review. Mother Nature expects the same old empty song and dance, in which corporations make grandiose promises about reducing their environmental impact only to offer superficial efforts while kicking the can down the road.

However, over the course of the ad, sharp-tongued Mother Nature slowly softens as she realizes that Apple is in fact “doing the work” and making real progress to reduce their impact on the planet (even though, as Apple CEO Tim Cook says at the end, “there’s still a lot more work to do”). The ad closes with the sun emerging from behind a cloud and a dead plant coming back to life as Mother Nature approves their progress and the employees sigh in relief.

The greatest danger of the radicals is that they believe they in fact are gods.

Thomas Sowell defined it eloquently in his book “The Vision of the Annointed”.

"consequence of embracing universal reconciliation." (Echos of "I'm OK, You're OK"from the seventies version of secular humanism, don't you think?) I remember it well...

Sadly it was the early Chistian community who originally pushed the worship of Mary as a type of goddess in order to beguile pagan worshipers into the newly established Christian faith. Oh what a mistake! In taking the simplicity of God's plan for man's salvation into the heresy of Mary as a co-redemtress, this act of "inclusion" has become a shameful, contiuous lie for millions of believers who are led astray by the very church that should be pointing the way to salvation through the only Savior, Jesus Christ.

“. . . Apple’s five-minute Mother Nature ad.”

About half-way through this syrupy exercise in silliness, one of Apple participants spouts an intention to remove all carbon from the atmosphere - which would have the effect of ending all life on earth. That a company that depends on technical knowledge for its livelihood should display such ignorance is an indication of the nature of the superstition they embrace as part of the climate cult.

What a great FR tradition! Working anti-Catholic garbage into a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with Catholicism. Splendid! (Not)

I am sorry for you, that you think the Holy Spirit and first-millenium Christians are so weak as to let the Gospel be corrupted by pagan influences.

It's no accident their apple symbol has a bite out of it, the lie that Satan told Eve.

Yeah, pretty sure you're talking about the Catholic Church here. Bizarre you would introduce this comment regarding an Apple commercial, but FR anti-Catholic bigots just can't help themselves.

Old idea for an ad. You would think that Apple could come up with something original:
