Okay, so I know that Apple is a religious experience for many people, but I’m amazed at how many religious references I’m seeing in relation to iPods and iPhones lately. Some are interesting metaphors. Most of these are just humorous.
Considering that we’re probably about to hit another wave of “Harry Potter is Evil” propaganda, it’s nice to see a sense of humor about all of this. Personally, I think the best thing various religions can do is co-opt Harry Potter and embrace the experience. Yes, yes, I know many of you consider the “wizardry and witchcraft” element to be problematic, but come one he’s a great heroic figure that you can make fit almost any religious archetype.
So, anywho, in recognition of what is apparently National iPhone Day, I present you with this list:
- jPhone from Aish
- iPod and the Global Train
- Appleism is a New Religion
- 50 Photos of the Jesus Phone
- Beware the Magical iPhone
- Google Results for “Jesus Phone” (168,000!!!)
Did I miss any good ones? Please share them!

I like how this is categorized under "Spiritual Practices."
I'm sure we can add a daily brachot for the blessing of the iPhone! Their must be a kosher way to use them.
