I was checking out Shauns post 25 sunsets and figured I could get close to 25 sunset photos. In my digging I found 20. There are one or two Sunsets and sunrises I remember taking that I need to find still. I may add them later. I may add them as another post later. And you can find a link to Shauns post at the bottom of the page.

I have stayed out of religious arguments for a while now, but thought I would do something interesting over the next few weeks. I am not going to try and prove the existence or otherwise of God. I after doing some reading have come to the following conclusions about the issue. There is no way of proving or disproving God’s existence. The only people that know for sure are the dead.

Saying that God does not exist takes as much faith as saying He is. Seriously If you don’t think atheism is a belief system you are as deluded as Christians that claim that God speaks to them. I am not talking about the ones that find hidden meaning in bible verses, but those that have real conversations with him.

Religion is a personal issue, Chances are that if you were born in Saudi Arabia you are a Muslim, If you were born in India, you may be Hindi, and if you were born in Israel… you get the point. Very few people change religion in the course of their lives.

I read a book by Andries Theart and have had a good number of conversations with him. The book is called, God’s final call and can be found here. He believes that all these religions are a conduit to God and should not be attacked. He studies Revelations in detail.

Now I am not a firebrand Christian, As many know I have proclaimed myself atheist, but the box is not totally correct. As far as the matter goes I am undecided. Does God exist or doesn’t he. So what I am going to do in the coming weeks is show you the wisdom in the Bible. The basic concepts in the book are good. I don’t know that I would accept it all as being gospel. It is my belief that much of the Bible is allegorical.

You need to understand that at the time most of it was written, people were not very literate and many needed guidance. I am not going to study creation, nor am I going to go through all the begats and so forth. I am going to take a logical look at the bible and do a logical translation without all the thees thous and alleluias.

In effect I am going to show you how the Bible was designed to enrich and make the world a better place. I will not cherry pick verses. You see cherry picking allows you to make stupid statements like “Money is the root of all evil” when the actual verse refers to greed ie : “The love of money”

My next post is going to start with the book of Leviticus which many Christians use to justify their bigotry. I probably will not get into the whole fag issue for a few days but we will discuss the real issues.

I have been visiting all my friend and clients, just checking out what they are up to. I started with Bailey Schneider who’s blog is taking shape very nicely. Now that Bailey has got the gallery and uploading video sorted her blog is looking better and better with every post she does. http://baileyschneider.co.za

I have a total dislike for sploggers and spammers. Now I had an interesting visit today from a lady with a pretty nice blog if you took the time to find it from the sales page that she wanted a backlink to. In general I have no problem with sales pages, I have a few out there myself at times.

This is not original but a rough translation of the post I have referenced at the end.

It has come to the attention of management that some colleagues are using unwanted language in the course of normal conversations with their peers. Due to complaints from members of staff this will no longer be tolerated. The following innovative suggestions for language use come to mind.

I think some more training may be of use to you
rather than You haven’t a fucking clue, do you?

She’s a dynamic worker

Liane Heyl and Eben Smith were in Nelspruit today. Entertainment was enjoyed by all. I got them both to pose naked. Just joking I never even asked, maybe I should have Boeboe from Vetkoek paleis has turned into one gorgeous lady. If I wasn’t so happily married I may have , ahh hell who am I kidding, she is way to classy for the likes of a photographer from Nelspruit.

I did however get them both to advertise blue bull steaks. That was a bit of a coup I thought.

Dear Mr. Mbeki,

A warning from Germany: You may have been bugged or framed during President Sarkozys visit to South Africa. I am writing from Frankfurt in Germany where there have been strange East German and French goings-on relating to Fifa 2010 preparations. If you ever have the feeling that you might have been bugged or feel High Frequency influence on you, don’t hesitate to ask me at the eMail above for further information or find out about microwave terror from former MfS, who may enter South Africa under false names, since East Germans are currently stealing identities in Germany in order to be allowed into the CIA, from where they cause nothing but trouble, Kind regards and all the Best to You, Irmgard Kronsbein-Bellchambers Matisseweg 4 60438 Frankfurt Germany.

I don’t want to say anything about the game. You know the whole Sharks vs Bull thing but …

Blue Bull Steak anyone?

<k2xl> in 1998, i made a C++ program to calculate pi to a billion digits.
<k2xl> i coded it on my laptop (pentium 2 i think) and then ran the program.
<k2xl> the next day i got a new laptop but decided to keep the program running.
<k2xl> it’s been over seven years now since i ran it. and this morning it finished calculating.
<k2xl> the output:
<k2xl> “THE VALUE OF PI TO THE BILLIONTH DIGIT IS = ”
<k2xl> mindblowing eh?
<k2xl> i looked in the code of my program, and i found out that i forgot to output the value .
Comment: true story, i fixed the code and am running it again
