But it raises two questions: 1) Do you really believe that this is a bug that Google can't fix? Call me skeptical, but I don't buy that. 2) Regardless of your answer to #1, that doesn't remotely change the fact that the results for Christianity are a bit skewed (to say the least). I'm hoping they wouldn't blame that on a bug as well. The reality is that this is being managed by someone who obviously has strong opinions when it comes to religion. And I don't think it is acceptable for a company like Google to manage their suggestions like this. Derek, thanks for posting that link for us. But it raises two questions:
