GOOGLE the Anti-Christ?

Believe it or not people Google may be the next anti-Christ.
Having used and browsed the endless selection of features that seem to anticipate your every need before you even can begin to conceptualize being offered by the juggernaut of a company, it Dawned on me that Google may indeed be becoming too powerful... already the 'Google' has been accepted in a number of languages as a legitimate word.... almost automatically without thinking all of use use Google to search for items... slowly but surely more and more people are using and becoming addicted to Gmail and Gtalk and are realizing the never have to leave the Domain.....

The ultimate testimony to google's might came when i started to hear rumors about an OS...... yes ladies and gentlemen Google may be producing an Operating System.....

Already to take full control of all the information on the internet the only thing Google has left to acquire is WIKIPEDIA. Once that is done we are doomed as Google will become the supreme ruler of all that is internet.

But why? you may ask, why would Google become evil after all it has done for us.... ..

Because man is not meant to have such power. Never forget : "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

A truly Great Imperitive

This is from a blog I have recently found ... this guy is destined for greatness.

Sex and Sexuality

Why do you think we as humans have demonized sex and Ourselves as sexual creatures?

This was a question a friend of mine asked me today.. and immediately I knew the blame could be pointed squarely on religion.
Almost every major religion frowns open things of a sexual nature... Its is almost as if Sex is ONLY for procreation.. and not recreation...

Is this right however?... should we be ashamed of things of a sexual nature... should we forever try to hide and deny that We are sexual beings (at least in public).
Thinking about it I can understand why religions developed rules and guidelines regarding Sex... it helped foster 'healthy' families as well as helping to control population growth...To an extent.

But now with the advent of contraceptives and and other nifty little devices.. it is possible for our society to enjoy sex with little fear of diseases or babies. This being the case.. has the restriction religions place on sex, become a precept based on an outdated principle?

Interestingly, I don't think so.. as my mother always said.. "Too much a one ting good fi nuttin". Sex, I believe should be treated with a sort of respect.. call me a romantic.. but I believe it is an ultimate expression of love between too ppl...
To ensure this respect remains for this most pleasurable of activities... it is the duty of religions to continue to show the way....

Mind you, most ppl wont wait till marriage, but the teachings of the church wont be forgotten and as a result, though a small miniscule voice,... there will be a part of them that sees it slightly differently...
Now for every rule there is an exception... but be it as it may I believe it is important for religions to continue to send a message re-enforcing the sacredness intercourse.

This leads to a delima.. how can one follow ones religion and still acknowledge & explore ones sexuality?
This is exceedingly difficult, as from the first day you entered church they stop just short of telling you Sex was of the devil..... hmmm
I of course cant agree with that sentiment.... however I am not sure what to believe...
I was reminded Sunday a good portion of one's walk with God requires sacrifice.... but where does the line between sacrifice and fanaticism start and end? Or is it that we should all be fanatics... mindless drones that cant think for ourselves?

Where should we who would follow or religion's teachings draw the line? Tuff Question.. and everyone has to answer that Question for themselves.

To Be Continued.....

Who is thy brothers Keeper?

"Where is the US, Where is the UK where is the United Nations?!"

This was a cry from a citizen of Somalia re the ongoing conflict there....
This cry has been echoed in Darfur and Zimbabwe and countless other nations that have been torn apart by war.
Valiantly, the almost impotent UN try to send aid... but it is either not enough or the sadistic rulers of countries such as Darfur try to block them at every turn.

Many times when I hear such pleas for help I wonder; why cant Africans save Africa? Why should the west take it upon themselves to save Africa from Africans? Why?
Of course the good book tells us why."Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
You never know when it will be your turn to be saved from yourself.
And so it is incumbent upon us, as citizens of the world to act......

But this leads me to a BBC program titled "Death To America" , where they explore the reasons behind the hatred many countries have for the United states.
In looking at a number of conflicts I have found that America serves its own self interest.... not democracy, or liberty or freedom like they would have you believe.... the are primarily interested in their own well being.
Having said this the next question one must ask one's self is; Is this wrong. Is it wrong for a country to look out for its own self interest first? is it crime to want the best for yourself and your family?
I put it to u that there are no truly benevolent countries on this planet. And each and every single nation has its own wellbeing as the highest of it's priorities... Why then should we expect the richest and most powerful to be any different?
What right do we.. or Darfur or Palistine or Zimbabwe or anyone for that matter, have to demand anything from anyone?

Dont get me wrong... I believe it is imperative for a country in a position to help to do so.. and I believe that when in need of help... But as much as it is incumbent on one nation to help another it is equally important for the nation requesting help to know that this is a request... It is not their place to demand.
