Brazilian Evangelical Group Bans USB as a "Symbol of Satan"

The evangelical cult “Paz do Senhor Amado” (“Peace of the beloved Lord”) in the interior of Brazil forbids its followers to use any USB technology by contending that it uses a symbol that shows sympathy for the devil.

Measures were taken so that all the USB connections of his followers were exchanged for common connections and even the Bluetooth (sic), which according to Saldanha Welder is permitted, for “Blue was the color of the eyes of our savior Jesus Christ”.

is a trident, which is u

Interesting...
What else is a symbol of the devil?

What about SATA Drives?
Just a 'N' away from Satan

Ethernet, very close to Ether
IDE = close to Devil

Firewire... the word fire is there perhaps denoting hell

Pretty funny, I guess we shouldn't use USB anymore
Quite alot of other things that have the Devil in it too it seems

I recall that story when a lady who was a Unix developer showed up in a bar deep down South, in a T-shirt with a Unix logo, a little red devil (daemon) with a trident. Almost got her a@@ kicked.

That's funny! Those same people probably don’t eat deviled ham or but a dirt devil vacuum.

Once again, proof that god makes you stupid.

The iPad has no USB ports to prevent evil satanic pirates from swapping demonic transmissions.
I wonder whether the church has received a donation from the Apple marketing department?
Just kidding. Sort of.

Yes the devil is in the details, now this is just a wee bit over the top, suppose they can't use live = evil backwords, you make anything into a negative if you try hard enough.

Nope, God teaches you to love your neighbour as yourself.

Bigoted extremist fanatics make religion stupid.

I second that, compatriota.

In Brazil, the evangelicals could easily be described as the most "radical" among all religious people out here.
What they lack in numbers (around 15% of general population, against 73% catholic), they have in eloquence.


Peace

true haha i tought you were going to try speaking spanish with me when u said "compatriota" then i read your location
they do lack in numbers and we should thank their stolen god(from the catolics) for that

The USB logo was inspired by Neptune's trident. So I guess Roman mythology is giving sympathy to the devil?

That sounds ridiculous.
