The shocking news here is that Tim Cook is religious.
- mikeash 12y agoIndeed. Oh, he's gay, we all knew that. Wait, the CEO of Apple is a Christian? That I did not know. Judging by the comment thread here, it seems to be new to a lot of people. It's not a big deal, but it did surprise me. It's easy to assume that a gay man living in the Bay Area is going to be an atheist.
- jshevek 12y agoHe is gay, white, male, lives in the bay area, is a brilliant CEO of a tech company... Yes, a lot of reasons to think he would most likely be completely non-religious, if not atheist. I didn't know he grew up in the south, though.
- innguest 12y agoI agree. We should be a lot more shocked that an individual that understands the internet and how information spreads still clings to the fairy tales told to him by his parents. This is no different than believing in Santa Claus and we're all distracted by what kind of sex he likes to have. I've never heard of a war started by gay people. Being religious is being complicit in that religion's wrongdoings. Also I'd say it's strange that a gay person is religious. Any person holding a non-mainstream position ends up having to do a lot of thinking and reading before accepting oneself for what they are. In that process they usually become a lot more rational. Didn't work for Tim, though. Weird.
