What an intriguing question!
I think the personal computer has done more to bring about an exchange between people than the Bible has. Through pcs, we interact with each other. The Bible accomplished a unification because interactions involving it for the most part only consisted of transmission of information from the Bible. PCs serve as a conduit of information, rather than only as information itself.
In terms of humankind as a whole, personal computers have certainly brought more people together because unification isn't required. For example, I've learned about your ideas through your answers, and you're learning mine right now, but we don't share the same religious beliefs. Neither of us is a Christian, and agreement isn't required for us to continue to get to know each other. The Bible only brings together people who agree to unite around it. Computers don't have that limitation. I wonder whether or not more people now own computers than believe in the Bible. That would be an interesting yardstick for this question.
I think pcs have done a better job, because we haven't had as many wars based on personal computers or utilizing them as a point of rally, and because people of much more diversity are included in the numbers brought together by computers. However, there is one caveat to my conclusion.
Bibles brought people more people together physically, I think. More people have been married with hands on Bibles than computers, and more people have found churches and community groups through their Bible I suspect. I'm not a Christian, though, and I know quite a few people who found their partners and spouses via the internet.

This question is troubling, and I think demands much better than a Yes/No answer. Really you have to ask yourself why am I comparing Computers and the Bible? Really quite disjoint "Objects" here. Different things completely. Computer technology actually helps spread the Bible, so really the Bible is kind of "included" when you consider what is going on with computers today, and especially when you consider the Internet.

I know i will not get best answer,.... but the computer has done it's part to spread and bring together many things.
It says in the "Bible" that during the end of days that knowledge will increase.........I think knowledge is a tool to further the spreading of the gospel and many other good things.
Don't let man's traditions get in the way of the word and love that is in the message. There will be a day that many of God's children will be enlightened to know the truth......fire and brimestone is a idiom to relate carnel with the spiritual implications when you are seperated from the love of Christ......When Christ comes he will set up his Milliniel Kingdom and deception will be set aside and only then will the unudulterated truth will be taught..........not the vain Apostacy that is being preached from many of todays pool pits........but remember there is truth in many denominations but you must shift out what is not occording to God's word........that's why it says let your conscious bare witness what is truth.....the spirit of truth will show you what is the path......it takes work just like anything else.
Peace

Perhaps. But it brings them together in the wicked pursuit of exchanging information and learning. Some day, the Lord will smite our computers like He did the Tower of Babel. The Lord hates peace and unity among humans.

yes, because we can get to know each other as people through this vehicle, and if we know each other, we are less likely to kill each other. The bible had the opposite effect, of dividing nations from the chosen ones to the rest of us pagans.

No. It drives families apart, promotes sexual promiscuity, and takes away from the human part of humankind.
