I agree... I think most of us do except Tony who is an apologist for the
Catholic church.

However I think the real problem is not that they are all snaps of
Catholic Churches it is just they at they are not very good or
inspiring.

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.

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

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

He is not worth responding to.

I try very hard not to insult people. I refuse to lecture to others on that
issue. My main interest here is photography. Yes I will occassionally
divert.
For me photography is a hobby. I freely share what information I have and
only ask that it be considered, then rejected, followed, or modified. When I
see well intentined advice given by others similarly ignored, I will stop. I
refuse to bang my head against the wall.

Absolutely true and they shold not be advanced as fact, either.

So, how does that affect my comment?

I am not a charitable as you. You certainly are free to feel differently,
but I don't respond to every post here. Unlike some sad people here, I do
have a very real life. I ration my time as I see fit. Nobody here has the
right to tell me how to spend my time. (Assuming my wife does not
participate in this group.)

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.
