Photography is non-denominational. Any religion or belief system can justify taking pictures:
The Communist: Everyone owns one camera; and all pictures are equal in merit and belong to the state.
The Capitalist: The one who dies with the most cameras wins.
The Environmentalist: Cameras can be used to record nature, except those with batteries.
The Darwinist: Pictures are not created, they evolve.
The Zen Master: A photograph of a tree is not a tree unless it is a tree, photographed.
The Pentecostalist: Hallelujah for taking picture frames.
The Catholic: It's OK to buy a new camera as long as you feel guilty.
The Hari Krishna: Photography while dancing is allowed but use the non-tambourine hand and a fast shutter speed.
The Existentialist: Photography is boring and your pictures bore others. Good.
The Confucian: A camera dropped in the sea is no longer dry.
The Christian Scientist: I am a camera.
The Muslim: It is only permissible to take pictures of patterns.
The Jew: He who bought his camera at the lowest price wins.
The Jehovah's Witness: Try selling your prints door-to-door.
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.
The Politically Correct: All colors must be equally represented in EVERY picture.
The Conservative: Only the rich and powerful can be trusted to take good photographs.
The Liberal: The Government should provide free cameras to all.
The Atheist: The spiritual does not exist so the camera can not steal the sould.
Here are a few more:
The Marxist: From each photographer according to his ability, to each photographer according to his needs.
The Republican: If you can take pictures and sell them good for you, but don't expect help from me.
The Democrat: I will take the pictures for you because I know what is better for you. Trust me.
The Black Theologist: Black should be the dominant color in a photograph.
The Aryan: White should be the dominant color in a photograph.
