Awesome books, but you could watch the progression of Douglas Adams' depression as you read them.

Audio technology like Google Home and Amazon's Alexa are becoming a dominant source for information.
But now, it appears one of the most common names is unknown to Google Home.
And some people are sounding the alarm about what the technology tells you when you ask about Jesus.
Brentwood resident David Sams owns a Google Home and an Amazon audio speaker. He says both give two different answers when asking "Who is Jesus Christ?"
"I even asked Google who is David Sams? Google knew who I was, but Google did not know who Jesus was, Google did not know who Jesus Christ was, and Google did not know who God was," Sams said.
Smart speakers are a technology owned by about 40 million Americans -- that's about one in six people in the nation.
And this religious conversation at home is making waves on social media.
Comments, videos and test results posted asking "Who is Jesus?"
The general response from Google Home is "I'm not sure how to help you with that."
There's still no response from the Google company on why.
"It's kinda scary, it's almost like Google has taken Jesus and God out of smart audio," Sams said. "First it started with schools."
Google Home refers to Jesus Christ when asking about the Last Supper and even Saint Peter.
And there's plenty of information on the prophet Muhammed, Buddha -- even Satan.
Nashville resident Martin Collins says she thinks this feeds into a bigger problem.
They took prayer out of schools, they think just taking Jesus out of everything is politically correct these days and I think that's the stem of a lot of our problems," Collins said.
Collins has no doubt Google has purposefully programmed Jesus out of its audio speakers.
"To keep from stepping on toes, political correctness," Collin said. "That seems to be more important these days than what's right and what's wrong."
Sams is calling for answers from Google as it's become a main source of information readily available that so many are coming to depend on.
"I don't know if there's some kind of wizard making these decisions or if it's some kind of oversight," Sams said. "But whatever it is, they need to address it immediately."
If you have an Apple OS computer look at the calendar. Apple left Easter off of the 2018 calendar. I noticed the omission yesterday.
It knows Mohammed and Confucious, Mary Magdalena, Martin Luther.
Jess might he popular, but not Jesus Christ and it doesn’t recognize either.
The first thing we asked it to do was play a song and it played a song with the F word and the B word.
Solution: de-Google your life.
On the other ones I tried it just said according to Wikipedia ?? is ....
I’m surprised if didn’t read the Wiki for Jesus Christ.
In post 4, you wrote, “As Jesus Himself asked, “Who do you say that I am?” He left Himself open to being looked at through various ideas.”
Best to always read the Bible in context. In the next line after the one you quoted above, Peter answers Jesus saying, “You are the Christ.” Elsewhere Jesus says, “I and my father are one.” All the apostles that Jesus gave authority to speak in his name said Jesus was the Christ, son of God, and presented that position several times to large groups. This is just a touch of what is found in the Bible showing Jesus is the son of God (part of the Trinity).

These articles are generally stupid. Cortana brings up a number of videos, Hey Google brings up a number of web pages. Alexa brings up a Wikipedia page.
Decades ago, you wouldn’t say things over the phone in case the government was spying on you. Now, you pay $49.99 and invite it into your home. Sure, the government isn’t “Google”, but is Google more powerful than the government?
Those who control the information, control the people.
Wikipedia claims that Hinduism is possibly the worlds oldest religion dating back to 500 BCE.
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!
.
Asking Satan who Jesus is sounds like a guaranteed fail to me.
Are we surprised?
.
Trust me on this, they'll be getting their just desserts very soon!
Why would you buy one of these and put it in your house.
It’s like consenting to be wiretapped.
