Racism

If racism didn't cause us so much suffering I'd have to laugh at how silly it is.   How can a person be blamed for what someone else did?   If we are blamed for Adams sin then isn't that similar to what happens when people are racist?     Muslims destroyed the Twin Towers but if I blame all Muslims then why shouldn't I also be blamed for Adam's sin?  If I seek revenge on all Muslims then why shouldn't God seek revenge on me for what Adam did? We're the same race right?  Not only that we are the same species.  If I don't want God to punish me for Adam's sin then I should not blame the Muslims for what the hijackers did.   If you have a problem with God blaming us for Adam's sin then you sure as heck can't be a racist can you?  If you are then you're a hypocrite.   Maybe God wanted us to ask that question.  "Why should I be blamed for Adam's sin?"   Why does God blame us?   Such a conundrum really makes you think.   Having thought long and hard about it you finally give up.  But then when you decide to seek revenge on all Muslims for what the Hijacking Muslims did it's already in your mind to ask yourself why should I blame people who are of the same race just because of their race.    Adam may not come to mind but the question lingers.  Is the whole purpose of the Bible to get us to question racism?    I still don't know why God blames us for Adam's sin if he does.    The Bible says sin passed to us like a disease and thus we are prone to sin.   Because it's not our fault that we are prone to sin then it works out that Jesus can pay for our sin.  Because we are punished for what one man did then we can also be saved by what one man did.   If we can be punished for Adam's sin then we can also be saved by Jesus act of righteousness which is his death on the Cross.

Parable of the Growing Seed, And the Mustard Seed

The Parable of the Growing Seed 26  He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27  Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28  All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29  As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.” This is saying that just by reading the Bible the word of God you will grow spiritually.   It has an effect on you that you don't understand.   It works on you in ways you don't know without you realizing it.  Your heart will love more.   You will be better able to resist temptation.   It's not just about understanding the Bible and learning things or what to do and not to.   It's not just a set of rules (although it is that also)   It's a way of becoming what you want to be.   It takes time though.    Sometimes it takes a generation o

Weird Trick for Making Great Art.

Draw finished drawings right from the start. This is only a trick and not really what you would think of as something a pro would do however. It works because random thoughtless art is better than most artists techniques and hard work. You can think things through and through but for most artists they aren't going to improve on random chance. There probably is a technique that improves on random chance but I'm not sure I've figured it out and I'm not sure anyone has. Anyway Travis Charest would draw finished art right from the start and it looked amazing. It saved time too. Stick figures are good if you are just learning and they are always good but so is finished drawings right from the start because the less you erase and the more precise your lines the easier it is to draw the next line in the perfect spot. Random placement of figures will look really good most of the time because in the end even when you are doing roughs you are attempting to create

Fish Tank Optics.

Image
Why does the far side of a fish tank appear closer than it is when it's full of water? The reason is that the light-waves while in the tank radiate in a circular manner when they leave the tank they are now radiating in a non-circular manner.  The planes of those waves will hit your eyes at a vastly different ways.  One eye will see the fish straight on while the other eye will see it sideways.  As a result it's possible that in a way the fish will actually appear to be outside the tank.    Perhaps that would explain the somewhat queezy feeling you can get while looking into a fish-tank.  One eye will see the plane of one light wave while the other eye will see the plane of another.  It's not that the light bends is it?   It's more like the wave front is at an odd angle.   Where the light at first radiated spherically it is now radiating as an ellipsoid or Jelly bean shape.  Here I'm showing a cross section so that it appears as ellipses.   I think using
