Religion begets us

No, it doesn't.

I think you disproved your conjecture since there were 3x as many people in this forum than the Pol/Rel forum.

Maybe he figured if he put it at the bottom, people would stop before they got to it.

I was wondering that too. Is this some subtle hint that they moved the off-brand forum to the bottom?

Clicker · 02-25-2010, 07:43 PM

I think , yes, Adam is hinting we get some religion before going off the Pentax brand

RioRico · 02-28-2010, 12:07 PM

Pentaxianism IS a religion. But even atheists can use Pentax.

On another note: Guy Swanson's BIRTH OF THE GODS (1960) surveys 50 'primitive' cultures' religious beliefs, if any. He found strong correlations between independent social factors, and such things as mono- or poly-theism, belief in souls, ancestor worship, witchcraft, etc. Not all cultures indulged in gods, demons, souls, witches, etc. No beliefs are universal.

And not everybody uses a camera. Where will camera atheists burn?

Don't forget being immersed in photo fixer (acid), exposed to daguerrean vapors (mercury fumes), pummeled with dead batteries and QC-failed lenses, subjected to constant marketing messages for Canon printers and copiers and accessories, and trampled underfoot by an endless stampede of Canon-wielding paparazzi chasing dead, damned, former celebs. And then things ratchet up, and the REAL pain starts...

Eh, that's not a Hell, that's just working in LA or something.

But, well, Canon people carry the name of a Buddhist Lady of great mercy, so they could be OK. We've got the five elements on our side, and Olympians obviously get their shot.

I don't know about Nikonians, though, they might just find themselves reborn as lomographers, if they aren't careful to learn their lessons.

LA the city, or LA the state, or is the difference insignificant?

I'm sure Lomo heads have their own destination of destiny. But as for Nikon, at least the lenses fit on Sigma and Fujica forensics cameras, so they're not a total waste. No, the Nikonders get to work in WalMart photo labs until the Heat Death of the Universe, 20-hour shifts with no meal breaks. Then get laid off after seven weeks, and transferred to K-Mart. Then back to Wally's. And back again. Et cetera.

The state is La and LA refers to the city. Of course then there is the other LA.
