As an armchair astronomer one thing I noticed on the 'arguments page here was :
***
"Googlism hurts people by sending them to Hell.
First of all, we do not believe a "hell" exists."
To which I've got to say er .. yes hell does exist but not as many think!
Hell is actually a lunar crater found on the Moon's 3rd or southwest quadrant just south of Mare Nubium (latitude 32 south, Longitude 8 west)
(Source : Pages 54 & 55, 'Atlas of the Universe', Patrick Moore, Philips, 1994.)
If I'm remembering right it was named after a certain Father Maximillan Hell - an astronomical preists several centuries BG ago(Before Google /God) although I have perhaps sinned in not googling to check this first!
&, again, if I recall right isn't there a google-moon site that could be linked to for this info?
I'd suggest then this correction :
***
"Googlism hurts people by sending them to Hell.
First of all, we do not believe a "hell" exists - except as a crater on the Moon. (see Google-moon - link) Now while some people may love to visit such location, albeit safely suited up with adequate air and back-up, Google can't afford to send them there and hasn't yet been added to a spaceship in order to do so!
If, of course, you mean the fictional hell / purgatory / hades / valhalla of your sky-fairy of choice tho' ...
(Continue with the stuff there before ..)
***
Of course, I could be being a bit pedantic here but still its all about spreading knowledge and dispelling ignorance ain't it? ;)
Incidentally, there's also Utopia on Mars (a bit plain - one of the 'Viking' spaceprobes landed there) plus Valhalla on one of Jupiter's Moons (Callisto from memory) and there used to be a Beer continent on Mars before robot probes sent it, alas, to the same place as Lowell's vividly seen yet not actually there canals.
Also one other small nit-pick - blue on the Google search graph is used for Google, Buddhism and Judaism - surely this could be changed so each has their own very separate & instantly distinguishable colour please? (Orange for Buddhism & yellow for Judaism seem appropriate with maybe royal purple for our Lordess (?) Goolge - just a thought!)
Great idea and website & well said - thanks folks! First time I've been here -broader church site or forum - heard via the bad astronomy site - & I'm impressed!
