This UPI story puts some amazing statistics on the table. Much of the Internet is a vast wasteland but it's also a fertile field for those who seek God, faith and love.
ROME (UPI) - According to Google Zeitgeist's second annual report, "Who is God" was the most searched question on the search engine last year. It was first in the "Who is . . . ?" category. As for "What is . . . ?," love came on top, AsiaNews reported Wednesday.
All this confirms that existential questions play a hugely important role on the net. Google Zeitgeist looked at all the questions internet surfers placed in the search engine. The study indicated that most questions came from the United States, the country with the most developed Internet.
A study by the Pew Internet Project also showed that in the United States 64 per cent of Americans connected to the net use it for religious or spiritual purposes.
The "religious" trend is confirmed by AsiaNews. Among its top ten most searched topics are: Burmese monks, the situation of Christians in Indonesia, Pakistan and Iraq, and relations between China and the Vatican. An economic article on the financial crisis caused by subprime lending came in seventh.
