Google and God

After reading Google’s mission statement “10 things we know to be true” it is clear that Google has a few things that they passionate about. Google bases its company off the idea that it is important to make things easy for customers, to constantly be innovating and willing to change, and to be open and honest. I think that after reading these statements I am an even bigger fan of Google’s corporation. It is a breath of fresh air to see that a company is concerned with how genuine they are with their customers. I think if organized religions were focused on openness and growth like Google, things would be very different. People wouldn’t be so concerned with how right their personal beliefs are and more open to expanding their horizons. There would be a lot less “my religion is more right because…” and more “well maybe it is flawed in this way but we can progress.” Google also shapes itself around its costumers unlike when some followers of religion disagree with some aspects of that religion and agree with others.

  1. I was having similar thoughts, too, about how religion is set while Google morphs around its users. What do you think religions will even be like in century or a millennium with fast-growing, personalized technology? It sometimes seems like we're headed toward all having our own personal religions based on what we want/seek rather than doctrine or set belief systems. I wonder how that would affect our value systems?
