PC: CONTINUED— THE VANISHING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOD AND GOOGLE—
yes we are walking right up to line called blasphemy and spitting on the ground here, however, there is always forgiveness and once some basic definitions are put out in the open... well things will become clearer and perhaps fuzzier all at once. After all this is something to reflect upon not a fact sheet.
Okay let’s begin with God...
For the purposes of this little enterprise—no not a mini starship piloted by Jimmy Kirk from Riverside Iowa—God represents all of the formal religions, the rules promoted. By these organizations, the role played by religion in society past and present and so on...
Google represents the internet, social media networking apps such as facebook, instagram etc...Oh and throw in Amazon and online shopping...food delivery too.
Let’s move ahead.
For most of human. History as we know it mankind has wandered around trying to survive and improve. We have tried to gather what is needed to live physically and attempted to understand why things are the way they are.
When we bump up against the unknown we turn to things outside our personal mental and emotional bubble to find explanations and guidance. . Now let’s do a side by side comparison between google and God.
Well in most any religion there are members in the church, followers, and the Quakers of course have “friends Twitter has followers. Facebook has friends and followers and Amazon has members. In fact we have member discounts in just about every industry anymore.
So both God and google are teere to make you feel like you belong to something bigger than yourself.
That was the easy one...now here’s more...
God is everywhere and sees everything. God is infinite you can ask god for answers about anything. God will not decide for you but the rules of religion will put forth some strong suggestions. Well how about gooogle? Google seems to have information about anything. And if not there it maybe on YouTube or somewhere else on the web. There is google earth and gPs and your phone! Those things show up in p track you everywhere. Google tracks where you go on the web and on the ground and bang! There are the places you drive by and the things you are shopping for right there on your little phone...Google is watching and seems to be about everywhere and the Goddess Siri is also there to answer almost anyquestion.
We have people trying to figure out the algarythms to get on the first page of Google and YouTube and to come up in the Twitter feed. Of all the possible sins and rules leaders had to believe that Moses had talked directly to the formula provider and set up the primary rules known as the Ten Commandments. While rather broad there are social norms on almost all social media sites/apps.
Rules are used to keep people’s behavior in check and shame those who don’t quite know how to follow them.
Look...this could go on and on... yet for now let’s end up with “give us today our daily bread” or tap on door dash...
Does the gap between god and google just keeep getting smaller post corona?
Depends on where you stand on “free will” I suppose...
Look for “peace and joy” conclusions in a few days...when Jesus and Buddha have a chat or maybe just text? question.google question.google
Perhaps one difference between God and Google is that it is probably easier to reach God in Heaven by phone than it is to speak to someone at Facebook or Google.
