Google = ...God?

[Simalacrum]

Hey everyone! I just found my friend posting this rather interesting website on Facebook... a church of Googleism, worshipping Google as the almighty one..

Now, obviously its a joke site but the interesting thing is... the proof that Google = God is actually quite plausible... Here [http://www.thechurchofgoogle.org/Scripture/Proof_Google_Is_God.html] are the arguments that the website puts forward to argue its case, its pretty good, actually

Here are some examples of the arguments it makes...

Spoiler: Upon the point of omniscience...

Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google the closest known entity to being Omniscient, but She also sorts through this vast amount of knowledge using Her patented PageRank technology, organizing said data and making it easily accessible to us mere mortals.

Spoiler: Upon popularity...

According to Google trends, the term "Google" is searched for more than the terms "God", "Jesus", "Allah", "Buddha", "Christianity", "Islam", "Buddhism" and "Judaism" combined.

God is thought to be an entity in which we mortals can turn to when in a time of need. Google clearly fulfils this to a much larger degree than traditional "gods"

There are many more arguments it puts forward than the 2 I've put above... so its worth checking out.

What do you guys think? Just a laugh... or could it be something more serious?

Not so much God, but it's a natural Monopoly, which is just as rare as God.

Google is no God

It's Skynet's Beta Form last I checked

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

Maybe Google is god. Now I'm confused about religion.

......ALL HAIL GOOGLE SHE IS OUR SAVIOR AND OUR LIGHT.NOW WE MUST SACRIFICE ONE INTERNET SITE FOR HER TO DEVOURER.

 

[Delock]

I... It just... What the...

Ok... but isn't it still limited by human knowledge... You know know what. I don't care. It's better than the church that Twilight spawned. Even if it doesn't quite reach the profoundly creative and thoughtprovoking level of Flying Spaghetti Monster's Church, I'm willing to let this one pass.

Why is google a she? it's an it, and if all powerful deities DID exist well they wouldn't have genders just genders we give them, also Google was created by a human being so yeah no it wouldn't work

[senorcromas]

Huh.

I think I just giggled at Google.

This is more probable. Not that its especially plausible itself though.

 

[Jonathan Wingo]

I don't know that I'd call google "god" but it is the closest thing in the world to being omniscient.

 

[thiosk]

google > god?

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Google is not omniscient. There are some things it simply cannot grasp.

Idiot, we need to gather strength to defeat the leviathan and it's followers!

..They can...um believe what they want but...Google is just a marvel of technology, and I'm not willing to worship machines until they come at me with chainsaw laserguns(AND NOT A DAY SOONER).

 

[Dexiro]

Well thought through i guess xD

There's plenty of luls to be had on the hatemail page. People taking the internet too seriously

 

[The King of Rock and Roll]

THIS IS BLASPHEMY. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the one true God.

 

[MR T3D]

what's google?

 

[Simalacrum]

God. Simple as that

 

[ShockValue]

Possibly. Let me Google it then I'll get back to you.
[sup] Google says yes[/sup]

I think Epicurus would have to disagree with you.
