Artist's Comments

What is a religious war?
Simple - it's a violent fight to the death over who has the best imaginary friend. If you just allow it to remain in that context, then you can see how pointless it is - how regrettable that others get caught in between - and how dangerous something as seemingly promising as organized religion can be.

Very thought-provoking and well-put..I personally think religion is the source of all evil. -.o; Hyper-religious people tend to be extremely closed-minded towards others and new ideas..and sometimes even downright confrontational.

On another note..is it just me or do those clouds look like a woman's face from the side, a very slender chin and neck? Crispness. Boo-yah.

Whee, I'm a whore!
:iconwackowatches:
That is a very valid point you have and it is an opinon that i might want to adopt. I like the photograph as well, though, as man times i have looked straight up and wished i had a camera.
:iconenn:
Wow. Amazing photography with an amazing message.I am the first to agree; war in the name of religion is one of the most rediculous things humans have ever dreampt up; that and the morons who elected Mr. Bush, but that's a different story.

So simple, and yet so profound. :+favlove:

I've often been fond of the idea that the camera fails monumentally to capture a scene, that it truncates the intention of the eye. Your shot here really makes me want to reconsider that. The contrast between the depth and ethereality of the nature and the deliberacy in shape and idea behind the letters is very well done.

My only question is who is yours?
:iconsweaterwoolf:
Excellent job at condensing a very complicated argument into the most immediate and effective terms. Your work is admirable for that quality.
:icontheyspeaksoftly:
this is an incredible photo... and a well-observation.

and that's why i don't fight about it. people i don't even know will ask me what the catholic views are on this issue or that.

i don't yell, and i don't try to convert everyone i see... the way i see it, they have every opportunity to join my faith if they WANT to...

sacrifice, and compassion... i try my damndest to live by those.

bottom line: everyone is human, so that's enough for me to treat them with respect... we may not agree on what actions are right/wrong/anything... but i'm still not going to hate them.

Hate, n., Heinous.] 1. To have a great aversion to, with a strong desire that evil should befall the person

no one deserves that

anyhow... sorry i got so far off subject... the comment before this one ... while true the HYPER-religious people are closed-minded alot (would treat people of other religions or sex-pref in inhumane ways)... they seem to have clumped them in with the people who are human and humble in their religion.

but the fact that your shot has conjured up all of this, i am grateful for as well.

a good day to you, sir

and it is a good day.
