What Does Google Suggest Suggest About Humanity?

CNETNate writes "You'll laugh, but mostly you'll cry. Some of the questions Google gets asked to deliver results for is beyond worrying. 'Can you put peroxide in your ear?', 'Why would a pregnancy test be negative?', and 'Why can't I own a Canadian?' being just a selection of the truly baffling — and disturbing — questions Google is regularly forced to answer."

    Problem is (I say this as a Christian, by practice, fundamentalist, pentecostal) that there are parts that clearly spell out that there aren't exceptions to the rules. Christians will often recite to each other where Jesus says that not one jot or tittle will be done away with, specifically applying it to a Old Testament law that they like. For instance, few pentecostal Christians follow Paul's admonition to have women silent in the church (specifically the congregation but is hard not to also apply it to the broader definition for church), and the ones that do are obviously mentally unstable. Christianity, the new and old Testaments, and particularly the Old Testament mostly don't give any leeway for any modification to its code. Anyone that says otherwise is just trying to fence sit with reality and what they want to believe. Christians whether traditional or fundamentalist only acknowledge the theology they like.

    I personally am on the verge of dropping it all in for no other reason than Christians reasoning (that is, no one else within the church has been able to satisfy my own reasoning.) Add to that my own personal search into the construction of Christianity, my slowly growing understanding of historical theology and the construction of the very text that is held up as The Word Of God, and I may just become an atheist.

    Heh, with that statement and self acknowledgement, I just become one.
