God is here.

First, some context:  You’d describe me as an atheist.  I have beliefs but your concept of God, as described in the main religions is not one of them.  I like your gods though because they give a great insight into the cultures which worship them.

So today I’ve been thinking about the internet.  A vast, ethereal entity which appears to be everywhere.  A collection of all human knowledge, lies, idiosyncrasies and  neuroses.  For many it is the first port of call when answers are needed.  For some even, it is a source of comfort and familiarity.  It is also fickle.  It does not always provide the answers you were looking for.  Sometimes it’s as if it isn’t even there at all.  I wonder what would happen if it ever realized that it existed.  The birth of your first man-made God perhaps?  Made in your own image.
