Scott Adams (the writer of Dilbert) once made this interesting point that if all organisms are comprised of smaller parts, then the same must be true for God, and that maybe God is the sum total of all of us when we connect over the internet.
Also, if you read Orson Scott Card's Ender series, "Jane" (a being who inhabits the 'internet') could very accurately be described as a God.
I think that, if you ascribe to the theory that we make the gods, then you could argue that the internet is becoming a God, but I'll say right off that it's not the creator spirit.
But, since we can't test the internet's divinity, I'll just say that the internet is changing humanity into a more communicative, but less intimate, species. Is that your God?
I just noticed you were back, Taliesin.

is internet the new god? regrettably yes. c b a to write more than that

If his name were "a X person" where X is any race I would have responded the same way.
Well snood makes the fact that he's black obviously known by his avatars - do you take the piss out of him? Or do you not like people who s-p-e-l-l i-t o-u-t using letters.

Theif! (Don't worry guys - personal joke).
Are you affirmative or negative? Either way, this debate is rigged. Negative can't lose.
If internet is God...
what does that say about god when we know 90% of the contents of the internet is porn?
Hey wandeljw, thanks for the welcome back; I just couldn't stay away.
Yeah, I noticed Frank hadn't been doing any posting. Hopefully, though, he'll be back before pretty long. I miss the man's cantankerousness.
