Jesus forgives all. The world needs less hate and grudges. The world needs more love and forgiveness. Amen.

Ecclesiastes9:11 I realized another thing, that in this world fast runners do not always win the races, and the brave do not always win the battles. The wise do not always earn a living, intelligent people do not always get rich, and capable people do not always rise to high positions. Bad luck happens to everyone.

To point out what may be the greatest irony in all of this:

Mr. CrazyJim (or is it Sir CrazyJim? I dunno, maybe you somehow also have a knighthood) quotes passages from the Bible. He also typically ends his posts with references to religion. Here is a sample:



Based on these statements, we can assume OP is, themselves, religious. What is the major component of all religions? Faith. That is, to take a statement (or a story, or a passage, or a claim, etc.) at face value, without considering whether it is logically sound, factual, or true.

Consider the irony then: OP also has the propensity to make claims that are either baseless (ex: "#1 in everything"), likely exaggerated (ex: "#1 in everything"), completely untrue (ex: "#1 in everything"), or immeasurable by any standardized metric (ex: "#1 in everything"). Sound like anything we know? True, some of these statements might be there for marketing effect ("networking that breaks all the rules", what the hell does this even mean?). But taken as a whole, it would be laughable if it weren't so slimy.

This, of course, leads to further gaps in logic and seeming hypocrisies. Like, isn't lying a big no-no in Christianity? Oh wait, OP probably doesn't think he is lying.

Or how about the passage he quoted. The passage is reproduced below, but to summarize: "Luck is a factor."


Isn't it funny how (supposed) success is all due to my skills, my talents, my hard work, my genius, etc., but an email to spam is chalked up to bad luck? On some level this makes sense. Programming, religion, games: these are typically environments where luck is either mitigated or controlled (not that there aren't games where luck is a factor). Now that he is in the cutthroat and hard-luck world of business, where luck is an immeasurable factor, he is running into a wall. Not to mention, no matter how "great" you are, there are always people supporting you. If he actually gets the money here from any supportive people, OP will chalk it up to my business acumen?

Of course, one has to wonder how we can reconcile a universe that is controlled by a God but is also subject to luck. Maybe we have religion and God all wrong. Maybe God works on expected values.

All of this is to point out what has already been pointed out: it seems slimy to solicit money based on these grandiose claims.

PS: And, yes, my sole intention in posting this was to make not-so-subtle jabs at religion.

Simple. I missed all the tourneys but one.
