Programmer's view of religion

[jvowles]

So I woke up a few weeks ago with this great analogy, and was reminded of it in discussion with a coworker about, well, work stuff

Gyah...

So using this analogy, my personal religion is like the computer I'm using to type this response on. It's a PC, Windows-operated, built with random parts from here and there and upgraded haphazardly and somewhat barely maintained. I've got factory-approved software and non-factory approved software, a lot of open source software, and tons of shareware.

And no viruses, thank God.

I quite like this.

Although I'm wondering if we're just not set up to receive the direct feedback. It might be there and we're just not correctly receiving it. Or able to translate it.

On some level, I feel certain that a browser may be convenient but is not ultimately necessary if you're willing to make the effort. It's there for convenience and presentation and organization.

My personal browser has a LOT of custom plugins!

And when you enter too many questions into the OS at once, it freezes up. XD

Great piece!

And a few people live just fine without the computer, and wouldn't take your computer if you payed them...
