Our Steve,
Who art in Infinite Drive,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Macintosh come.
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Apple.
Give us this day our daily iPod
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we strike down those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into Windows,
But deliver us from Microsoft.
For thine is the iPod,
And the iPhone and the iPad,
For ever and ever.
Amen.
Besides going to hell, you are also failing at simple substitution:
In your translation:
1. iPod = both Kingdom and bread (this makes no sense -- iPods are translated to Kingdoms and bread in your world?)
2. For heaven you substitute "Infinite Drive" in one place and "Apple" in another (this makes no sense)
3. "Windows is to Microsoft" as "temptation is to evil" (not very thoughtful -- i.e. "I have a temptation to do evil" vs "I have a Windows to do Microsoft??? I don't get it)
"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
