Answer to Delaware Liberal: What if God is Really Google?

This morning at Delaware Liberal Donviti found God. I know some Republican readers will say, "I never thought it would happen but the liberals actually found God."

But who is this God they found?

Could it be Google? Wait a second. Before you tell me that that is a crazy idea I want you to consider two facts.

First, there is this alarming story about how much private information about you is actually available online.

Second, is this excellent article from Becky the Girl in Shorts on the possibility that Larry Page and Sergei Brin know everything about you. If they are not God, perhaps a Triumvirate Omnipotent Godhead with Eric Schmidt as the third leg.

We know for a fact that they know everything there is to know about everything, right? A sort of benevolent, omnipotent, webmaster godhead whose supplication I invoke while trying to blog and figure out new applications.....constantly.

Finally, in answer to Liberal Geek's question, " What if God is really Mexican? Or worse, Venezuelan? Man GWB is in some serious trouble;" I present the idea that heaven has taken a strange turn in the Global War between Rednecks and Latinos:



In turn this raises the question is God really just a code name for Google's Battle Pope?



So could it be given the stunning diversity of this nation, its humor and its sense of itself through the web, that Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin are the God that the liberals located? I say, impossible given the anti-libertarian answers they got from him, or is it them? But, who can say?

What we do know is that for April Fool's day Ted Turner, founder of CNN, found God as reported in a story at JNN the Jesus News Network:

Ted Turner Changes Mind on Religion?
Posted: Tuesday, April 1, 2008
News Summary:
AP News - New York

Ted Turner is apologizing for his past criticisms of religion, admitting that he is "always developing" his attitude as he gets older.

News Story:

Turner issued his mea culpa while announcing a new 200 million dollar partnership with Lutherans and Methodists to combat the spread of malaria.

Years ago, the CNN founder and one-time America's Cup-winning skipper called Christianity a "religion for losers." He also eventually apologized for labeling CNN employees who observed Ash Wednesday "Jesus freaks" who should work for the competing Fox network.Now, he says in an Associated Press interview, he no longer considers himself an atheist, and maintains several churches on his properties for his employees to use.And although he says he doesn't attend church regularly, he says he finds it "really hard to believe" that he's "going to Hell."

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
