Would you say that the macro photographer is so brainwashed by his
interest in entomology that he can see no other subject to photograph?

Why is it that a person who does macro insect photography does so
because the subject interests them, but a person who photographs
churches is "brainwashed"?

Well, by now, you ("tony cooper") must've noticed that this newsgroup
news:rec.photo.digital is simply full of intolerant posters. These
arrogant authors seem to think that bashing organized religions makes
them appear open-minded.


I agree with your conment about intolerant trolls.

However, IMHO the underlying issue is that Miguel continually takes the same
type of shots and seems to ignore the advice and comments given by others.
I think his shots are boring and repetitive. Therefore, it can be well
understood why some may call him brainashed.

Maybe, Miguel is gunning for more "hits" on his Web page? Whatever his
real intentions are, he's humble and polite; hence, he doesn't deserve
to be insulted.

Furthermore, they continually confuse such "belief systems" with the
true question of God's existence.

The question of teh existence of a supreme being is still a belief.

Scientific theories are often merely "beliefs," also.

What many really object to, is the use of beleif in a supreme being as
a means to line pockets and control others.

The same can be said of "faith" in the unquestioned authority of modern
science and technology.

Not to mention the inventor of internet's "Global Warming" followers.

Truth is, Al's 'warming' was only in his pants while in a hotel in Portland.
