I was simply wondering about the purpose of this post? Did you read the
caption? If not, here it is:

"Several years ago I bought this Bible illustrated, and in this opportunity
seemed me interesting to practice close-up photography, showing the image of
the Burning Fiery Furnace, that according says the Book of Daniel in the
Holy bible, there were protected the friends of the Prophet Daniel, that
unjustly had been envoys there by the King Nabucodonosor, like also It says
later in the Scripture: The righteous is delivered out of trouble (Proverbs
11:8a, King James Version)"

The shot (for me) provided no justice or support for the above diatribe.

So, what's your agenda, George?

I've been lurking on this one for days...
Have you all noticed?
Everyone comments ... and he hasn't added one iota ;-))))
He must be ROTFL!!!!
I hesitated before writing, because I'm doing exactly what I know we
shouldn't be doing: CONTRIBUTING TO HIS POSTS.
Just an idea.
