Lost in Translation.

In case you missed it, my first and only Flashback Friday to date (errr, profuse apologies for poor follow-through) dealt with my gut wrenching discovery of the absolute fakeness of religion and complete collective psychosis of the Chinese people. Well, those of you who know me know that I believe the overwhelming majority of people house more than a few bats and other active nocturnal creatures in the attic, regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic background. You know, the people who sing along to Borat's anti-semitic song without really comprehending what exactly they are chanting... And then there was the uproar afterwards, in which Jewish leaders expressed concern that while the song was obviously meant to be satire, many gentiles seemed to have missed the point... and that perhaps this throws into question whether the sketch should have been done in the first place?

Yeah well, despite the ridiculousness soon to follow this very paragraph, I for one strongly believe that we should not and cannot let the idiots stop us. Let the music continue.

The text of an email I recently received in response to my Jesus Beads post:

Dear blog author:

We recently came across your site, welcometoraisins.blogspot.com, while searching for fellow christian bloggers.

A small group of us have started a new site called Christian Bloggers. Our prayer and intent is to bring Christians closer together, and make a positive contribution to the Internet community. While many of us have different "theologies", we all share one true saviour.

Would you be interested in joining Christian Bloggers? Please take a few minutes to have a look at what we are trying to do, and if you are interested, there is a sign up page to get the ball rolling. We would greatly appreciate your support in this endeavour.

May God Bless you and your blogging efforts. We look forward to hearing from you.

Artifical intelligence, while widely considered to be the revolutionizing wave of the future, is ultimately still controlled by humans. And when humans are kind of stupid, well... you know.


For good times, make it Suntory Times.

May God bless you and your blogging efforts.
