1. We use Mac OS X, the world’s most advanced, easiest-to-use operating system. Since Mac OS X sits on top of a base of eunuchs, it is less easily distracted than other operating systems.
2. We live the iLife. We now have iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iChatAV, iDisk, iCal, and iSync. For adults, we may soon have iPorn and iGambling. The possibilities are endless.
3. We run our Mac OS X in Apple Computers, the best boxes in the world. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but the BMWs of the computer world do not come cheap. And our Apple Computers have the best fans in the entire world. They go like heck all the time.
4. We can run many excellent software programs in Mac OS X, including those from Microsuck (oops, this discussion must go in the SOFTWARE forum).
5. We are led by Steve Jobs, the Walt Disney of our generation. This is a significant upgrade from John Sculley and light years ahead of Bill Gates. It also cuts down on our wardrobe decisions. Black is best.
6. We are constantly getting improvements to our Mac OS X through Software Update, thus making our experience even more interesting.
7. We are blessed with an abundance of übergeeks who can help us with the intricacies of our Mac OS X. They are always helpful and friendly, never sarcastic or elitist. Our übergeeks have lives outside of computers and operating systems.
8. We do not get viruses on our Mac OS X. No worms in our Apple. This is known as the 3% solution or hiding in plain sight. No Trojans either because of our eunuchs.
9. We Mac OS X users are not a cult. There is no truth to the rumors that Mac OS X users as a whole are greatly insane or think very, very differently. Unlike the zombies from Redmond, we listen thoughtfully to discussions of the pros and cons of various operating systems. And merely scald in oil those who disagree with us.
10. Our Mac OS X now runs on clusters of G5s to produce cheap and very fast supercomputers. Soon even Tonga will be able to design its very own nuclear weapons.

Your G5 is obviously under-appreciated. You should donate it to a loving home (mine).

And thank you Apple for giving us an operating system that doesn't crash when an application crashes.

Hey, I love Apple. Otherwise I would have added:
Our Mac OS X has opened new doors in pioneering Cabala networking, whose inner workings are known only to an esoteric few. Let’s get those Macs on business networks, yeah!
and
Mac OS X has been dominant in graphics and publishing. Truly believing in this market, Mac OS X has introduced faith-based font management. Faith that eventually its own Font Book will handle more than a handful of fonts and faith that 3rd party vendors will eventually figure out how to update their programs to work with Mac OS X.
and
Our Mac OS X now sports a brand-new Finder co-designed by the Three Faces of Eve and Amnesia software companies.

We are led by Steve Jobs...[but] We Mac OS X users are not a cult.
You certainly sound like a cult member! 
Steve Jobs is quite a character, and he makes Apple a fun company to follow, but he is not our "leader".
