You may find that you can look at a non catholic image composition more dispassionately . -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

When people show pictures of cars there is invariably a discussion on the cars as much as the photography. >I'd hate to see you turned loose in the Uffizi because you'd ask for >suppression of the great works of art because you feel they are >"Catholic imagery". Certainly not. However I was suggesting some variation by the OP. Something where he can try composition without the distraction of religion. >You were born a few centuries too late.

He was just as bad in the opposite direction. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Interestingly, the extermination of the native peoples of the region now know as Spain was so complete that there is scant to no evidence of what culture actually lived there before the christians eradicated their existence. This is why Spanish ethnicities have no cultural background other than christian today. The few handfuls that survived the christian onslaught on their lands and heritage were all forced into christianity or died in trying to escape the christian's atrocities upon their people. They have no knowledge of their original beliefs and culture today, nor any way to reclaim it because all their history was also destroyed by christians. Their original culture is lost forever--as they are all lost today. This is why many of their cultures are a strange mix of unrelated adopted Pagan beliefs from other cultures and forced-christian beliefs that make no cohesive sense. This too could be the very reason for the Spanish Inquisition. The original Spanish culture was completely destroyed and they desperately held onto and desperately defended all that they were left with, the lies that are christianity. Not unlike the perpetuated abusive behavior within a family, but on a cultural scale. Giving back what they got.
