Google commits suicide.

I just saw a sign at Walmart. "Glow in the dark egg hunt tonight" Not "Glow in the dark Easter egg hunt". This is bigger than it looks at first glance.

America was founded under christian principles. The Constitution is based on christian principles. We are a christian nation. You may not be, America is. Obviously that is changing. It will not be for the better.

The majority are not Christian....so turn it the other way If they did put up Jesus etc wouldn't they be spitting in the face of people who are not Christian?

69% of the world population are not Christian.

Nearly 80% of Americans identify themselves as being Christian. Google was created in the United States, first, before it branched off internationally. America's Google domain, not other country's Google domain(s), is the one place that has the face of some leftist who made some sort of movement for illegal mexican farm workers or something of the like (I don't really know nor care to delve into the nonexistent full extent of the 'contributions' that he made to this country), the front of the most popularly used and known website, on the very same day of a sacredly based religious Holiday which is celebrated by nearly 80% of this country.

That is a spit in the face. I am not even Christian, and I am offended by it. But, that's right.. I forgot, unless I'm of some other religion or background, it doesn't really matter what offends me or what religious intolerance rises in the midst of my nation, UNLESS, it is any other form of religion or people's background, then it matters. Gee, I wonder how well it would go if the face of George Bush (we'll say) showed up on the page of the Islamic world's google page not a moment after the clock struck Ramadan. That's right, it would matter then, wouldn't it?

No. Our nation was founded on Liberty.
Not religion.

Of course, completely ignoring the existence of this holiday, and all that it stands for to Christians, not to mention Western civilization and what this very country was largely founded upon..

That's right, it would matter then, wouldn't it? It always matters when people show even the slightest bit of hesitation to engulf another people's religion, hell was almost broke loose when people said that it wasn't right for a mosque to be built on ground zero. Funny how it doesn't work both ways, huh?

Ah thats ok then I forgot the USA is the only country that uses google.... you said the world and I just told you you was wrong...
Why are you offended when you are not a christian?

I do not understand the controversy about Google today. I like that it discussed Cesar Chavez compared to Easter. We can both celebrate Easter and learn about Chavez. Win-win.

I never said that the USA was the only country to use google, perhaps you have a reading problem? That doesn't seem too far fetched. Try to read what I said again.

Also this is such a none issue...all the things happening in the world and the OP (who has said he is agnostic) decides to get upperty that google doesn't use any religion in their googlisms.

I read that you said the majority of the world population is Christian and you were wrong.
Or did you forget that statement? let me remind you.



Err.. I'm pretty sure that it is a big deal. It's a spit in the face to the majority of the world's population.

WRONG!!!!


Should every company be forced to follow religious holidays? how about Hindu holidays? you would only moan that it isn't christian pfft.

I never said the majority were christian. I said 2 billion are christian.

Wasn't aimed at you pal

What a knee slapper of a thread.

It's all fun until someone loses a country.

reply to post by jimmiec


For all of you people who are complaining about Easter falling on Cesar Chavez Day and saying "I don't even know who this guy is or what he did so I'm going to stop using Google".

I'm thinking you guys don't really know how to use Google in the first place...

Nobodys going to stop using Google.


Bwa-bwa-bwahahahahaha

I got on ATS after using google and noticing that. I was surprised but who really cares? Are you saying that everyone must bend over backwards for Easter? It's a forgotten holiday.: (no reason given)
