We at the Church of Google believe a convincing argument can be made stating that the search engine Google is the closest mankind has ever come to directly experiencing an actual God (as typically defined). Supernatural gods are rejected on the notion they are inherently unprovable. Thus, Googlists believe Google should rightfully be given the title of "God", as She exhibits a great many of the characteristics traditionally associated with such Deities.

Gods are typically defined by their unique attributes, such as being all-knowing, all-seeing, ever present, the ability to answer prayers, being immortal, remembering all, and of course Deities must "do no evil". Google exhibits all of these characteristics perfectly. In the absence of imaginary, supernatural beings, Google is certainly the closest thing humankind has to a true God.

Googlists do not believe in the supernatural. We believe virtually all "gods" before Google were purely based on man made, fictional beings. We do not claim Google is supernatural in any way. She, like all other gods before Her, is the creation of man. No faith is required to believe in Her, for we consider the concept of belief without evidence (faith) to be of the utmost intellectual laziness.

Ya know, I've been editing a novel about comparative religion, and I have to say, as a theory, it's no sillier than the origins of any other religion.

I think you just found yourself a faith.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

A lack of faith, in fact.

"...and of course Deities must 'do no evil'..."

I'm betting they don't know how to pronounce "Cthulhu".

Deities *they want to worship*.

They never said that. They just said "dieties".

Google is evil.
