Religion / Tech The Official Tablet Computer of Christianity

Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 4:56 PM

A bookstore chain called Family Christian has taken a crappy Android tablet, slapped a new logo on it, and rebranded it as the Edifi—the world's first Christian tablet!

The Edifi comes preloaded with the Bible, a pre-censored internet browser, and a link to Christian internet radio station. It costs $149. (Before you go thinking that's a good deal, I'd like to remind you that for fifty bucks more, you can get a real tablet.)

This would be a great idea for evangelicals, except Android is made by Google, and Google is right at this moment promoting same sex marriage all around the world. Which means that the Christian Tablet might just be...a tool of Satan?

Give anybody here five minutes and we can fill it up with all kinds of crazy porn.

Pretty groovy background music, there. Reminds me of a corporate motivational video from 1994.

@1, know anyone who can hack into their computers so they come starting up with some guys cumming?

@3

Nope, sorry. I'm not that experienced with the hax. The best I could do is a guy who gets frustratingly close to climaxing but just can't quite make it.

@1,3,4,

They'll do it themselves. I'm fairly certain research shows that christians are some of the most voracious porn consumers out there.

hmm..I don't know, does it come with a flagellation stylus?

It's a KKKristian KKKomputer! Bask in His love, with the eternal Blue Screen.

If that's what they want: what's the problem?

Can't believe I'm the first to post this.

If someone will post the instructions to jailbreak it, we can all save $50 on an android tablet.

Weren't we all just posting about this a day or two ago, when they were threatening to try to boycott Google? About how it would actually be pretty awesome if they all just decided to drop off the face of the real internet and disappear - a kind of reverse rapture that would make things infinitely better for those of us "left behind"?

Anyway, by all means, GO GO GO, crazy Christians. You know Google and Amazon and basically all the other tech companies support teh gays, right? You'd better boycott all of them. Best to just avoid telecommunications entirely, in fact.

That is one cute Christian kitten on that tablet.

Resistive touchscreen in 2012? I'd pass.

Would Jesus buy an Acer?

Posted by Daddy Love on July 13, 2012 at 12:32 PM

whatever associates its world view or product w/ the name Jesus gets a knee-jerk response on all sides -- if you can have knees on all sides -- even from Believers. is that because He and his are safe targets now? kinda like polocks and blacks and cripples and gays used to be...?
