In a world where Google has put every bit of information at our fingertips, some people are now demanding less information when they surf the Internet.

Some Jews, Muslims and Christians are abandoning Yahoo and Google and turning to search engines with results that meet their religious standards.

Shea Houdmann runs SeekFind, a Colorado Springs-based Christian search engine that only returns results from websites that are consistent with the Bible. He says SeekFind is designed "to promote what we believe to be biblical truth" and excludes sites that don't meet that standard.

Houdmann says a search on his site would not turn up pornography. If you search “gay marriage,” you would get results that argue against gay marriage. And if you type in “Democratic Party,” your first search result is a site on Marxism.

1. A more accurate name would be SeekFundie.. n/t

[Lyric]

2. "What we believe to be Biblical truth"

The Bible says that Democrats are Marxists?

Methinks this moron is falsely equating "Biblical truth" with "ideological wishful thinking".

4. Yep. And their Jesus was a Capitalist. Right there in the bible.

3. I really believe that in another 15 to 20 years, religion will have the US back in the Dark Ages.

5. I searched for my own business, using a search phrase that

brings it up as the #1 and #2 results in Google. It wasn't there at all, and the results had nothing to do with the search phrase. It's useless, and therefore won't be used. Waste of their money. There's not a thing anti-Christian on my website.

7. Probably they are adding sites, like Yahoo used to do

rather than spiders crawling the interwebs.

6. BTW, it's SeekFind.org, not .com.
