The Internet: A Gift from God?

I like the new Pope, Pope Francis, because I think he is a really compassionate - if misguided - human being that is practicing what Jesus (allegedly) taught. But from what he says from time to time I question whether or not he understands the dogma he believes that the Church has indoctrinated him with. How can you truly affect the human condition if you can't see through your own misperceptions? In January of this year, he called the internet: he said Francis said: '[The internet] is something truly good, a gift from God.' Read more: The Daily Mail. He got the first part right. The internet is a wonder of invention. But the odious and wrong part of this statement is claiming it was the product of otherworldly creation. Question, if God thought the internet was such a good idea, then why did he wait until man was in the second millenia to give it to us? No, the Pope has committed a blunder and an act of piracy at the same time. To claim that the effort of discovering, making, and producing the internet was a godlike act lies to humanity and ignores the real human suffering that went along with that creation. Scientists and engineers worked very hard, worked through disputes and technical challenges, missed their families and vacations, debugged nagging problems and lived a life devoted to achievement. It steals a great achievement of man and gives it to a non entity. It is unfair and unjust and takes away from real people's dignity. This is what the Church does - it steals the real achievements of men and deceives believers to give more credit where no credit is due. So while you may admire the Pope, beware of his dogma it hasn't changed.
