Google is Killing God
I once heard it said that the internet is where religions go to die. This is pretty accurate and as religious believers become less lazy they will soon realize that any question they have for atheists has already been answered. All they have to do is Google their question and pick a fairly reputable website to find their answer.
Some Christians will almost certainly use this as evidence for the validity of the Bible. You see, in the Book of Genesis, there is the story of the Tower of Babel. In the story, people work together to build a tower to heaven (implying that heaven could actually be reached by building a tower). God didn’t approve so he destroyed the tower and made it so people spoke different languages so that they couldn’t work together any more.
Now we have Google. Through Google, it is easy to translate one language to another. So some Christians will draw the parallel and no doubt claim that God predicted the rise of Google in Genesis. The problem is that Google defies God.
So for religious believers, the question isn’t that they believe, it is how long will they continue to believe in light of the accessibility of information to the contrary of their beliefs. How can they continue to believe when all their arguments for belief have been countered on the internet and can be found through Google?
