Well, for what it's worth, here's a long essay on his relationship with Buddhism.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

Did you buy it directly from Buddha, or a middleman? Angel

I've heard several times that he acted like an agnostic that got sucked into a lot of new age style spiritualist stuff. I'll be borrowing his biography from a family member soon, so we'll see. Not that it really matters except for curiosities sake, but then again curiosity is awesomeness in a box.

I imagine he'll soon be a mormon. Not only is he dead and unable to defend himself but he was also rich which is a combo they can't avoid.

Since Apple isn't contributing directly (that I know of) to religious organizations (though I'm sure paychecks go to various places regularly) I don't understand why it would matter if some religious nuts use Apple, or Microsoft.

If they want to hold up their overpriced iPhone and shout that Steve Jobs was Christian of the highest order, it wouldn't do a goddamn thing to the technology, nor would it make their religion any more valid.

That was of course his own stupid mistake, but the asshole or assholes who got him to that point are of course no less guilty of culpable homicide, and should be prosecuted for their part.

Imo, promoting homeopathy is a criminal offense: homeopathy kills people! As was demonstrated once again.
