I give up.
No matter what I try (and I have wasted about 16 hours on it) the atmosphere effect I
want is always gone well before I
can see any sky. Geez, this is just too f'ing hard.

The Agnostic is not living a significant life. Such was only meant to be known
on a personal level. Whats worse is, if you had a reason to know but forgot.

An agnostic don't beleive in a God. It don't mean that he don't beleive in some
Greater Power. An agnostic will NEVER say that there is no God, like an atheist
does...

Bull.
The agnostic is just saying "I don't know if there is a god or not".
But who are you to judge? Does not the bible state "judge not, lest ye
be judged"?

Apologies for being so off-topic, but Matthew 7 is being abused here. You should not
quote Jesus Christ out of context
like this. Read the passage in the context of the teaching. I know non-Christians
like to whip this verse out whenever
they want to do something immoral - just to shut the Christians up, but Matthew 7 just
can't be intelligently
interpreted to mean that.
The verse doesn't advise use to tell each other not to "judge" us, it's an admonition
against feeling like we're "good"
by comparing ourselves to someone else. The verse is about holding ourselves to God's
standard for us, it's not for
unbelievers to stop all criticism from believers.
</soapbox>

Perhaps what I want is unrealistic, but it does exist in reality.
I want there to be blue sky, a slight amount of atmosphere, so I can see the giant
triangular volumetric shadows of the
buildings in the air. I used to marvel at the sight of that when I worked in San
Fransisco.
Oh, and another criteria is that I want it to render before my grandkids die of old
age.

Of course, if I were to whip out my soapbox, I'd say something about it
only being reasonable to quote things out of context when it's to
*support* a Christian point of view; I've seen it *many* times over the
years.

The problem with this is that you will never convince someone who
belives in mythology. You might just as well have tried to convince
an acient Greek, Roman or Viking that they were wrong. They all had
writings of some sort to "prove" that they were right
