"Do Google search results contradict your religious views? Tired of getting pornographic results and worried you'll burn in Hell for it? Are you Christian? Try SeekFind — 'a Colorado Springs-based Christian search engine that only returns results from websites that are consistent with the Bible.' Muslim? Look no further: I'm Halal. Jewish? Jewogle is for you. NPR ran a story on the general trend of search engines cropping up to cater to certain religious communities. I wonder how many other 'filtered' search engines exist out there to cater to various groups (religious or otherwise) — not counting specialized searches (torrents, etc)."
This is not just about boobies. This is about only seeing the bit of the world you want to see, as in “only returns results from websites that are consistent with the Bible”. I’m guessing that means no richarddawkins.net, or any website about evolution? Who’se the decider?!
exactly. and who the fuck is bored enough to sit and sift through millions of websites and deem them worthy of your senstive eyes.
honestly. do people know there is something called an XBox for chrissakes?
im fucking about on seekfind.org, and i searched star wars. they search sex. erm, okay.
junk dna, they redirect you to aliens? (wtf!!)
there are, by the way, christian sites which review games. oh my dog.
the movie review for aliens ends as such (snicker)
Thanks to an enraged Ripley and a pack of Marines, the profanity is extreme. There are gross on-screen or implied deaths including the trademark chest-bursting; the constant threat of alien attack; and the possibility that The Company is still sacrificing people for profit. There’s no sexual content, although when Ripley isn’t imitating Rambo we get a few glimpses of her in underwear as in the first film. There’s some disturbing Big Brother technology, such as the colonists having surgically implanted Personal Data Transmitters. If I were a Futurist on prophecy, I’d consider PDTs a good candidate for the “Mark of the Beast” in Rev. 13:16.
Families can expect to see typical Jim Carrey-style crude humor, such as watching Bruce use his powers to blow up a woman's skirt. Also, though Grace is apparently supposed to represent the most “Christian” character, she doesn't seem to have any moral problem living in sin with Bruce. And, as usual, the movie features a less-than-holy language (including the f-word). I asked director Tom Shadyac, who is a professing Catholic, about these cinematic choices, and though I found his answers thought-provoking, I can't say I was satisfied with them. Take a look at his interview to see if you agree.
In addition, though the film portrays God’s love, wisdom, and mercy, it does not illustrate his holiness, or, by extension, our need to be redeemed from our sins. And, of course, since it never mentions our need to be redeemed, it likewise never mentions our redeemer, Jesus Christ.
The scary thing is that confirmation bias is so powerful that many people don’t actually need an external filter. Their internal filters are so strong they don’t need any help. Tele, anyone?
