    Google has been in collusion with Microsoft for years, so that every move you do on a windows PC, as well as everything you search for will be reported to the government, so they can implent a big brother style surveillance system around every citizen 24/7. Don't support Google or Microsoft! Need proof? Check out this.

    If you feel like the government is watching you, they're not. They're watching everyone! Stop BIG BROTHER!

    Morality can exist independent of religion.

    Actually, that's the fundamental contradiction inherent in most religions.

    If all good comes from God, and God is omnipotent, then nothing that happens in God's realm can be evil (and Google can therefore do anything, including masturbation, golf and strangling cats, without being evil).

    But if evil does exist, then there are values greater than God, which means God is not omnipotent, and Google can continue to expand indefinitely to take His place.

    Either way there's a moral dilemma for religious Google users which us atheists will never have to confront.
