    I am saying that I wasn't saying that the stylishness of an opinion matters more than its meaning, but rather implying that all opinions in the religion/antitheism spectrum are lacking in intellectual usefulness, and that therefore picking the most stylish one seems perfectly reasonable.

    It's like choosing the tastiest snack out of a selection of equally unhealthy ones.

    Yes, exactly, which is what didn't make sense about it. You said those two things as if they were supposed to be contradictory, while they are in fact perfectly compatible (and both true).

    Thanks! And ok, I get it now; the things you said aren't contradictory off and among themselves, but rather with a third and fourth premise, being that Amelia and Forrest as photographers are equal to the photographers whose terms I objected to in my statement, and that none of my objections would apply to working with them. Both of those are at least partially false, which explains the problem.

    When my ideals change I will unabashedly announce it to the world. This is not true at this time.

    I never said that I think that you think that they have equal importance. I was just saying that your answer did not prove that their comparison would be absurd. That two things work in tandem does not mean that one cannot be valued over another, it just makes it more difficult.

    Moreover your belief that there is no such thing as objective importance is neither here nor there. Eventually everything loses its shape, yes, but we can talk about it in the meantime.

    Nope. You just read it that way. I just wanted to be sure of your standpoint before I questioned it.

    A poll? I just assumed that what would be true of one would be true of the other. Most of the time anyway. Are we even talking about the same thing?!

    My pleasure, but there is no problem and your premises are off.


    It is very simple.

    1. Presumably, based on your ideals, you would not have another group take your photos, and then brand them as their own unless their contribution was very high (if you would do it at all).

    2. Now since your photos are already of a high quality and only getting better, I’m not sure why you are so willing to have your photographs taken by BB in the first place, unless it is purely out of a desire to be seen by more people, which is fine, but lets be clear about about your reasons.

    Anyway, At this stage I'm worried that someone will think I'm knocking the site which I'm not trying to do at all.

    What I mean is that importance can only be measured with regards to a specific objective, and different classes of effects can only be compared when they can be reduced to a common measuring unit. As basic building blocks of human perception, no such reduction is possible for meaning and aesthetic. You can't even reduce them to relative abstracts such as happiness or wisdom, because none of those would exist as we know them if either were completely lacking.

    It's a fundamental case of apples and oranges, many magnitudes less comparable than actual apples and oranges ever were.

    Fair enough. I presume you unconfused.

    Nevermind. There's too many layers of irony and logical codependencies at work to explain all the reasons why that was funny to me. It doesn't really affect the rest of the discussion.

    Well, for one because our own photography simply doesn't come into play if Izta and I want to be in a shoot simultaneously - DIY just isn't an option. For another, because our photography is mostly restricted to the outdoors, with the model standing still, neither of which is particularly conductive to shooting erotica - from what I've heard and seen Amelia and Forrest practice techniques with no such limitations. Then there's the fact that the blue blood icon they paste onto pictures is relatively small and stylish compared to what many photographers go with, that they seem like a friendly production with a genuine focus on culture (if not necessarily over earning a living, then at least at level with it), and that IMO a wide audience is a valid entry on the list of things a photographer can contribute, even if it's one of secondary or tertiary concern. And finally, 'so willing' is a liberal description of my saying I'd sit down and talk to them about it; 'interested' would do better.

    I don't think so. SheDevilVixen is another name used by Jade Starr and the girl you are looking for isn't her. That's not to say your girl maybe didn't use that name too, but odds are good that's not who you are looking for.

    This.

    Once you study all religions, you see how they work, and come to understand how and why people follow them and believe in them. Especially if you go way back to the earliest religions. Imagine primitive humans, with no science, no understanding, and they want to know about weather, death, crops, life, birth, lightning, etc. The only person to give answers was the religious leader. The witchdoctor, the priest, etc. As a position of power in early society, there will inevitably be competition from other people with better ideas and better explanations for the natural and the supernatural. So religion evolved. New defeats old, etc. Newer, better, shinier, etc. The current world religions are facing a challenge. They need to adapt and evolve, because their books and lessons are starting to get too old and out of date. Analogies about sheep and ancient farming written in an ancient tongue hold little use for modern humans. That's why you see religions like Scientology popping up. Or even Satanism. Wicca. Paganism. New Age stuff, etc. New religions that people can understand and follow easily. Or new versions of Christianity. Rewriting and adaptations of the bible, like the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses. As long as our society continues to advance technologically, those old religions will keep dying out. But they will be replaced by new ones...

    I don't think it's a product of an unenquiring mind. I think it's a product of a mind that has looked at all the religions, enquired about them, and has come to the conclusion that life basically was just a enviromental accident. What I don't like about it vs. atheism is in it's central belief that there is something wrong with people who believe in religion. To me, that's just as bad as a bible banger trying to push their beliefs on me. Different strokes for different folks and leave it at that, I say.

    Hello. I am certainly NOT any kind of model for anything. However, you might wish to listen to the music my band plays. Thanks for posting.
