  1. I read with interest Bishop Spong's latest essay "Think Different” – “Accept Uncertainty". In my opinion, it is rather sad that Bishop Spong uses supposed pearls of wisdom in his essay by Steve Jobs as an introduction to his desire to engender a new way of thinking about Christianity. As i understand it, Steve jobs was an arrogant self-absorbed power hungry corporate mogul My experience of Apple marketing/sales is such that I would never buy or comtemplate buying one of their products because of the power and control they exert or wish to exert over their customers. Steve jobs may have expounded some great ideas but his ethics in my view were very questionable and to hold up his slogans as a path for Christianity is rather sad in my opinion. Too often, we tend to be impressed by corporate achievement, when in fact many corporations have only one goal and that is to expand their power to control everything they can grasp, ignoring the human suffering that is caused on the way. What did Steve Jobs do with his billions? - he was certainly not known for his philanthropy! i am very grateful to Bishop Spong for the insights he has provided me into debunking the many myths surrounding Christianity and for helping me to understand that the religious god is a human construct designed by the likes of Steve Jobs to control and manipulate others. I hope that this misguided foray by Bishop Spong into holding up the 'sayings' of the likes of Jobs is a one-off error on his part.
