They're not a religion in any sense of the word. A culture, maybe. A religion? Nay, never.

OK, I'll make an exception for Emacs users. And Lisp users, them as well seeing how as both sort of fit in the same pews. Apple also has attracted a pious crowd so they also get an exception, especially given the sacrifices which its followers make, the regular pilgrimages to the Holy Store where the latest sacrament is purchased.

For every fervent user of X, I can find you 5 zealous irrational haters who are 100% convinced that X is just a religious fluff and that there is no way it's actually better than Y (what they are using). I have in fact, been guilty of that kind of thinking myself.

The Apple religion seems to have devolved down to simple classism. Back in the 80s, Apple really pushed the "us vs them" othering angle but now Apple is for everyone, as long as you can afford it.

Forgive me father, for I have used tabs to indent my code.

In a Commodore 64 emulator, write a BASIC program to output 10 Hail Marys.

Thy sin is forgiven.

[the_third_wave]

Here is a BASIC program that will output 10 Hail Marys in a Commodore 64 emulator:

   10 FOR I = 1 TO 10
   20 PRINT "Hail Mary"
   30 NEXT I

To run this program in a Commodore 64 emulator, type in the lines of code and then press "ENTER" after each line. Then, type "RUN" and press "ENTER" to execute the program. The program will loop through 10 iterations, printing "Hail Mary" on each iteration.

Alternatively, you can also use the following single line of code to achieve the same result:

   10 PRINT "Hail Mary";:FOR I = 1 TO 9:PRINT "Hail Mary";:NEXT I

This line of code uses a semicolon (;) to separate multiple commands on the same line, and the colon (:) to separate multiple lines of code that are treated as a single line. The program will loop through 9 iterations, printing "Hail Mary" on each iteration, and then print "Hail Mary" once more after the loop.

I don't think this bot understands the term "Hail Mary". I told it to spit out the whole thing and it did, followed by a one-line program which could never be entered on a real C64 (hardware or emulated) given that the maximum line length in the BASIC screen editor is 255 characters. Also, what's up with that silly extra "Hail Mary" in the single-line version and why are those colons there? I'm afraid salvation is far away...
