USB - Satan's Data Connection

Evangelical Christians in Brazil have banned the use of USB connections after claiming the technology is the mark of Satan-worshippers.

Evangelical Christians in Brazil have apparently banned the use of USB connections after claiming the technology is the mark of Satan-worshippers (Hat tip: Fernando Frias). Apparently the revelation came after the evangelists noticed that the USB symbol resembles a trident. Presumably they're not great fans of Britain's ballistic missiles either.

Here's the story, though be aware that aside from being repeated on a bunch of Brazilian websites, I've yet to find much to back it up, so if this turns up on Snopes don't blame me.

1. Have they banned forks?

Jesus. My head hurts. :cry:

2. Does God expect me to use Firewire?

Or Ethernet?

Good luck finding a glow-in-the-dark programmable dildo with THAT interface.

3. There is something many don't think about.

Some that think they believe in the God of goodness and love actually believe in the force of hate and destruction. And you may not know it, but some that think they follow the bad side, actually follow the One True God of love and goodness.

It is not about labels.

Since many that use labels, use them in different ways.

You can be seen for what you worship by what you do, think, and feel. Not by some label used.


The saddest part is someone of great love, and attempts at honesty, is accuse of following the bad side, by some people that do not care, and easily fall into hating and judging people.

6. And it's always worse if they eat with a three-pronged fork

Being kind and eating with anything but a four-pronged fork, well, those haters just can't get past the fork, you know what I'm saying?

:evilgrin:

8. Odd that you post about that.

But more to the topic you speak of, the triple fork, the pitch fork. It actually does work, farm work, hard work. But some take it as only a weapon to be used when the farmers claim rights.

So the pitch fork can be for doing work to help society, or to hurt people. What does say about the triple fork? It is about how it is used, and why it is used, not the name of something.


Although I do understand the concept that anytime someone gives you a choice of one of two paths, they are trying to control your direction by limiting your options, so you find a third way, if both those choices do not make sense. So the triple fork is like no fork.



Side note, corporate politics is not the middle, it is an extream faction of control by money.

4. For fuck's sake...

5. Thank dog they they don't object to nude beaches

Brazil wouldn't be the same without them.

7. Turn it 180 degrees

And it's a guy facing left, sitting on a pole.

Now THAT'S satanic!

9. It's Satan's 3-pronged sex toy.
