I went to the site and got the guy's email address, then sent him the following letter:
Dear Dr. Paley, I just read your article on the Apple Macintosh. I usually try to be polite and respectful when I disagree with someone, being a Christian myself. Sadly, your article is of such a nature that this time I am unable to do that. Your article is absolutely Koreshian in its lunacy. Hypnotically encased iMacs subliminally leading us to evolution?!! I thought the whole thing was satire, akin to something you'd read on the Onion satire site. I was horrified when I thought someone was actually serious about this drivel. You don't think Windows PC users do terrible things? I've read them! Articles like yours are a disgrace to the Christian faith. They make us look like wild-eyed fanatics.
