God 2.0

What is a god in this day and age? Doesn’t God proclaim to be omniscient? Well I have Google. And Google is spelled a lot like God. Wow (not World of Warcraft, but the exclamation)! Does God have spell-check? Does He have an email account He can search using Google’s search engine? He’s probably still using Hotmail and Windows! Google is God 2.0.

It is the user who is a god today. It is 14 yr. old kids taking videos of themselves in their pajamas talking about non-sense that is god-like. It is athenewins who runs WoW and his Paladin. Gods are outdated, but not really. God with a capital is many theocratic or semi-theocratic nations in the world today. Nations and national leaders who haven’t quite upgraded fully enough yet. We live in a time of a Clash of Generations. The old guard and the baby boomers who don’t have clue about how the world is running today, are still in control of the football and the big red button. They are still running the world like its not already leapt into the future.

And I don’t want to be a fear-monger, but…I guess by making this dialectic I am guilty of doing exactly what I am blaming the old guard of doing: Red State versus Blue State, Donkey versus Elephant, Light versus Dark, Bullshit versus War. Sometimes my mind too is outdated and superstitious, and finds comfort in a good battle of the Titanic forces.

Maybe the enemy is the enemy.
