Google Betas Google Print
Chronic Infection writes "Google is beta testing a book search service called
Google Print. Here is a list of books included to date." Quick spot checking turned up excerpts like this one for The DaVinci Code, a great book if you haven't read it.
It's a pile of sacrilegious hog wash.
Yes, things like facts, insight, logic, common sense tend to come across as sacrilegious to those that blindly follow something written 2000 years ago by a bunch of men.
Remember, God didn't fax the bible to mankind...it was written by a bunch of men wanting to control the masses. And for the past 2000 they did just that. But people are getting smarter and they know they're myths. It's dying out.
Thank God!

No, not the myth of "those fishermen". I'm talking about "the church" and all the control and death and wars....take your pick.
How else could you control dirt poor people except by telling them you hold the key to their everlasting lives. Their immortal souls.
This crap actually has grown people beliving that there's this invisible man...and he lives in the sky! And he watches everything you do 24/7...every second, every act you do. And he has this list of 10 rules (with one being that you have to believe in him) and if you break these rules that he'll send you to a place of fire and pain and torture and suffering for ever and ever till the end of time....yet, he LOVES you! (Paraphrasing Carlin there).
But hey, you believe what you want. And I also wasn't talking about the novel in question. Both the bible and the other book are both novels really. Believe one but not the other. Does it really matter?
And yes, I really do know what I"m talking about. Ask me anything you want if you want to be enlightened.
