The Church of Google. I just find these things funny, especially the hate letters. I just hope that no members of this 'church' takes this thing seriously.

Not as funny as the Church of Tetris.

For thousands of years, humans have asked fundamental questions like Why are we here? and What is the meaning of life? and Who ate the last cookie? We don't have the answers, but who cares: we've got Tetris.
You're right, that is funny.

The Church of Google definitely hits on some good points. Mainly the fact that Google does know everything and everyone and where I live and what I do and who I am. In this sense, "she" is omnipotent. Therefore, the Googlists are certainly on to something.

But eh, I still say the Church of Euthanasia has it right.

how about the church of the whale penis? I'm not going to link that but you can google it to find out more. Which perhaps proves googlism's supremacy.

I hate forums links. Sometimes they involve hitting your own head on the table from laughing.

Ahah UZ! I think we now know that your Internet Blocker might just be more supreme than Google.

Heh. Better yet, Church of Scientology

On a side note, this googlism is pretty convincing. Who can question the unquestionable proofs?

Have you tried www.google.de yet? if that doesn't work, you should also go for www.google.jp

last year they forgot to block the foreign googles so we could just bypass around the block

Yes, I have tried it; it's blocked. However, everyone just uses Advance Image Search.

If you use Windows, shouldn't then Windows Task Manager (often called Ctrl+Alt+Delete) be able to kill the blocker?

Okay... I didn't mean kill to stop its existence once for all, I meant exit the blocker via WTM. It could be easily opened again, or if not, it would be up again when the computer is restarted.

Many schools implement filtering farther up the network than the local machine. In this case you will not be able to stop it using the task manager. Many schools also disable the task manager.
You could try searching around for CGI proxies. Or, if you're a geek like me, you can VPN-over-SSH to a machine at home and browse the web from there.
