WWGD: What Would Google Do

Lunchtime Experiment: Search for Jesus and X

Results are presented X (number of hits) (notable google results)

Let's start with the old school dialectic:
 
poor 2.66 M No ads
rich 2.16 M tip: try finding maps with address or zip code

Looks like the rich are movin' in on the turf. The poor had better watch out!

New school dialectic:
 
homosexual 444 K No ads
heterosexual 200 K Lucky Baby Jesus ad
gay 1.57 M helovesyouministry.org ad *
straight 1.71 M Jesus 101 class ad

* helovesyouministry.org supporting text:
Whoever told you Jesus hates gays is off his rocker.

Almost identical totals if you sum it up. Can this mean something?

Jesus in action:
 
saves 470 K wholesale gold Jesus Saves pins and
Jesus Saves Jesus Swings CD ads
loses 432 K Jesus responds to Job book ad

I wonder how the 0.521 save percentage compares to other deities...
 
Cthulhu: 0.562
Buddha: 0.543 (not a diety, but plays large)
Allah: 0.523
Satan: 0.403

At least he can whip his old nemisis.

Acronyms that you find in the news and on conspiracy websites, in descending order of hits:
 
cia 470 K COLD WARRIOR ads
gop 326 K MSNBC Jesus and Jack Daniel's in the I feel lucky slot.
aclu 177 K Communist for Kerry, Boing Boing 1 and 2
wwjd 101 K 0.875 WWJD Ichthys charm ad
nsa 90 K Lost Books of the Bible ad (really!)
nra 75 K Pungent Pulpiteering ad (WTF?)
aarp 54 K Blog entry link featuring hiccups and blasphemy.
jfc 7 K Jesus Fan Club in I feel lucky slot (that's nice)
