Israel en Palestiena is woestyn wereld. Jy is nooit ver van die woestyn nie en sodra jy ‘n stad of dorp soos Jerusalem of Bethlehem verlaat is jy in die woestyn. Ons is gisteraand woestyn toe om daar te kamp. … Lees voort → CaptainVAN NIEKERK, ALEXANDER

“Religion cuts an intellectual brake line, making them incapable of dealing with certain situations rationally”

“I don’t think religion makes people do wicked things, and that’s not my gripe with it. What it does is cut an intellectual brake line, making them incapable of dealing with certain situations rationally — they may do what is right, or they may do something that’s just nuts, but you just can’t rely on them doing what is reasonable.”
Why did god do this to those nice people?

If their gods loved them so much, and were capable of miracles and knows everything that is happening on the planet etc etc etc, then these gods must have reasons for all these evil things that happens to their devout followers.

Angus Buchan in Upington
In Upington – so sê die mense – boer hulle aan die een kant van die teerpad met druiwe en aan die ander kant met vee. Daarom bid niemand vir óf teen reën nie. Dit sal net tot kwaaivriendskap lei.
Maar dit het die evangelis Angus Buchan nie gekeer om verlede Saterdag in die Danie Kuys-stadion te voorspel dat die dorp danksy ’n bonatuurlike ingryping reën gaan sien nie. En na verneem word, het niemand in die Kalahari gekla nie toe ’n ligte reënbui Maandag daar uitgesak het.
“Reën nou is goed vir die veeboere en dis nog vroeg genoeg dat die wynboere nie sal kla nie,” sê ’n inwoner, mnr. Jeremy Swart.
Upington gons glo soos selde tevore. Pastoors vertel hulle moes Sondag ekstra stoele by hul kerke indra. En in die plaaslike Pick n Pay, waarvan Swart die eienaar is, klets mense in die gangetjies en in die toue oor min anders as Buchan.
“Jy kan sien die ou het die mense aangeraak.”
Ongeveer 7?500 mense het Saterdag na Buchan geluister.
Past. Dekker Stadler van die plaaslike Volle Evangelie Kerk vertel sy kerk bars uit sy nate sedert Buchan se besoek. En dis nie asof hy lidmate by die ander kerke afrokkel nie – die AGS is net so vol.
“Dit is die grootste geestelike gebeurtenis nog ooit hier.”
Volgens inwoners steek dit ook nie in elke prediker se broek om Upington in beroering te kry nie. Die beroemde Duitse evangelis Reinhard Bonnke het die dorp ’n rukkie gelede besoek, maar het ná die tyd glo verklaar die dorp is te droog vir hom – nie net klimaatsgewys nie, maar ook geestelik.
Buchan, daarenteen, is ekstaties. Hy het sy preek verlede Saterdag begin met die voorspelling dat reën op sy besoek gaan volg. Teen Sondag was daar wolke en teen Maandag was die reën daar – effens ylerig oor Upington, maar sterker in Kakamas se rigting.
“Dis ’n woestyn, maar binne 24 uur ná ons veldtog het Jesus sy pragtige reën oor Upington laat uitsak,” borrel Buchan.
“Ek wonder wat al die nuwe bekeerlinge gedink het toe die reën begin val? Hoe goed is God nie!”
