Amish couple sues government over having their picture taken.

As I see it, people who do not want their picture taken have two choices, either do not go where other people are free to have and use cameras or cease reflecting light.

Someone might want to tell these amish that a photo is not graven. The surface is completely smooth. Plus, I think that the graven image thing was only about imoges of gods, which would put this couple claiming godhood. Oh well, no use talking sense to a conservative subsect of a subsect of a sect of judaism.

Actually the commandment goes into great detail about what is prohibited, and it winds up that no image of any description, in any medium, may be made by and means of any thing whatsoever. Their purpose may be to preent idolatry, but their explicit specifications are not at all permissive. Thus Islamic art concerns geometric patterns but does not include even decorative plant leaves.

Those Amish assholes are like the other asshole theists, the Mennonites, they dislike the commodities and conveniences of modern culture, but when they get sick or shot they don't mind to be transported to a very modern hospital in a very modern medical emergency helicopter.

Those hypocrites!

Pity the poor theist. We verbally crap on them if they seek medical help and we crap on them if they refuse to seek medical help (especially for sick children).

So the only option is just to bitch about it on a message board and not try to fix anything? Is there really nothing productive going on here?

What, in the name of bleeding sores, do you expect to be produced on a site designed for discontented people to vent?

Yes, or at least to try.

I guess that was overly hopeful of me. Go ahead and insult me a bit more and then we can all goes our seperate ways then.

It is not an insult to you, our observation that you have chosen an inappropriate venue to try to control the religious beliefs of a group of people the you are not a member of, much the way brash theists come here to change us.

Stop being a pansy and stick around.

Pssst, Sterny! You're responding to posts that are almost 4 years old.

[Sternwallow]

Ooopsie, another senior moment.

Sometimes I can't remember the names of my grandchildren, oh, that's right, I have none.

Thanks, nkb, who knows how much longer I would have posted responses.

Yeah, makes me giggle to think this person has random RA emails notifying of a thread response.




It's better than spam.
