Proselytizing, even when thinly veiled, is still what it is. And, in this
particular case translates to OT posting.

You DO defend my freedom to state this - right?!?

Absolutly!

The problem with Miguel is, he does not get that evangelizing and
proselytizing his religion, regardless of how pious he is, is to say
the least, to me and some others here, offensive. I enjoy good old
non-sectarian shots. If we have to have shots of paces of worship, or
religious buildings, or ruins, let us appreciate those images for what
they are. Don't try and convert me, I am not convertible since I sank
into atheism 45 years ago.

Offensive and tiresome. I lurk here to enjoy and learn more about
photography. And, happily, it is mostly a gratifying process. The number
of smart and learned folks here is significant. A pox on those who seem to
be dedicated to ruining this for folks like me.

Thanks SD

I don't see that a photograph of a bible is any different from a
photograph of a church, of worshippers going to church, or an Easter
Parade. A bible is a book; an object. If that object is in fine
leather binding with gilt letters embossed, or contains colorful and
artistic plates, its a legitimate photographic subject. As is a
comparably bound copy of "Tropic of Cancer".

It's not the object in the photograph, but the description he placed
on Flickr that was a bit over-the-line. I'll forgive that, though,
since it was obviously a copy/paste because he doesn't have the
English language skills to have written it.
