Greetings true believers,
So, recently I read the fiction book called "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman (it is a good read actually). Throughout the book, the basic idea is that the gods of old (Odin, Osaris, Loki, etc.) need some sort of sacrifice in order to have power and their continued existence (be it money, blood, or time). Since the old god characters are trying to continue their existence this puts them up against the 'modern' gods (e.g. Internet, Caffine, Men in Black, etc.). Unfortunetly Jesus was featured in the book (in the afterword Gaiman noted that Jesus was probably too busy with other godly stuff). In the book, the Internet God says that he exists because people spend so much time on their computers. While I suggest we add this book to a banned book list, it did get me thinking.
With all the time I (and also you) spend on the computer. Is my Macbook Pro damning me to Hell?
