Nowadays, with a computer, it's easy to generate gimatria samples, even for proving blasphemy:

Haran - <a href="http://www.pithemovie.com/" target="_blank">the movie "PI"</a> is a very disturbed thriller involving a computer programmer, the stock exchange, Kaballah, some Jews who are waiting for the Messiah, and other strange elements, including self trepanation with an electric drill as a cure for migraine.
Hi Devnet - that site is all in Hebrew. How does it prove blasphemy? (BTW - I don't think you should see the movie Pi right now.) |

Quote:
The Jewish Orthodox missionaries in Israel (those who strive to make secular Jews observe the Jewish code of law) often use gimatria to "prove" the divinity of Torah and Talmud, and also to back up their political opinions. This activist of the Hofesh (Hebrew "Freedom") website wrote a program to combat the gimatria scam. So that you can easily "prove" that "bahur yeshivah" (yeshivah student) has the same numerical value as "robot", and "elohim" has the value of "whiner", and other such blasphemies. |
