How is religion not like a computer virus?

Seriously, the Internet is a good example of the basic effects of religion on mankind, Christianity is a good example. First, some people of questionable sanity create a worm (the bible), then first gets sent out on the local network (friends, family, community, etc.) to infect computers with weak security (lack of education, common sense, self esteem, adolecence, in distress, etc.), corrupt their operating systems (brains) which then cause them to try to infect as many computers as possible (parental influence, missionaries, baptisms, Sunday school, Soup Kitchens, etc.), all with the ultimate goal of complete domination of the Internet (the world).

Good question and I am no proponent of religion, but, based on comments by those addicted to religion, religion does apparently prevent some people from murdering their neighbors, raping their children, stealing (whatever they get their hands on) and an unlimited list of behaviors most people consider inappropriate.

In that sense, it does do some good.

But, for most, it is just a nuisance that prevents them from operating properly, and as you point out, is a virus.

Information Assurance and Computer Security $144 Today’s society can no longer function without information technology. Essential infrastructure including the transportation system, banking, the entertainment industry, the healthcare system, government, the military and the education system can no longer survive without modern technology. This increasing dependence on information technology creates new opportunities for the benefit of society. However, it also opens an avenue that can be exploited for illicit purposes. The stakes are high and many attacks go undetected or unreported. In addition to losses such as data or other forms of intellectual property, financial theft or the shut down of infrastructure, computer security attacks that target critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants have the potential to cause human casualties on a massive and unprecedented scale. This book provides a discussion on a wide variety of viewpoints on some of the main challenges facing secure systems. This book will therefore be of major interest to all researchers in academia or industry with an interest in computer security. It is also relevant to graduate and advanced level undergraduate students who may want to explore the latest developments in the area of computer and information security.

Computer Security $86.61 Computer Security: Principles and Practice, 2e, is ideal for courses in Computer/Network Security.
