The Christian Scientist: I am a camera.

The Muslim: It is only permissible to take pictures of patterns.

The Spiritualist: Look for the ghosts in the clouds, trees, and window reflections.

The Voodooist: Keep sharp objects away from self portraits.

The Buddhist: The desire for approval, a grant, or an exhibition causes suffering.

The Fundamentalist: I don't know anything about it but if it gives pleasure it should be banned.
