@DustinB3403 the whole thing is wrong, from so many angles. the meme is wrong because it is making light of the situation, but I would agree that the topic of the meme is much much worse, and is the worst part of humanity. It's sad that it's also true. My opinion as a someone who is heavily involved in my church is that people are people and the church has just as many bad apples as the rest of society.

This is what turns a lot of people off to organized religion. I'd suggest that some non-religious folks see this and go WTF -- they came to my house trying to cram their religion down my throat and now they're all caught up in [fill in the blank].

I think the people that cram it down people's throats are doing it wrong, that that this is very much the vocal minority of "organized religion". Too many people are caught up in judgement, and not enough are caught up in mercy.

It is far more fun to pass judgement than it is to provide mercy.

True... True... but whether you are passing judgement, or providing mercy -- one should always remember that Karma is pronounced, "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!".

Just a dumb thought is using a word like "iPad" as a catch all for tablet exclusitory? As we often say "Just use an iPad", if we used that word "iPad" to describe all tablets aren't we being exclusitory and discriminating against the other tablets of the world?

I'm not sure why it matters, but yes, obviously, it's a passive marketing ploy to imply that one tablet is more legitimate than another.
