I'd like to find a few people who want to do this (along with me as I have some really nice tech) as it going to be a lot of fun and we're not short of material, camera equipment or things to talk about, but we're not used to producing video. It's a stills club, we have an archive going back to the early days of photography and image-making.

Happy for people to take charge, do their thing and own their space. There are no egos involved. The club has everything from members approaching 100 years old to scores of young, newly joined students and everything in between.

I'm not expecting anyone to work for free (unless they offer), but we will be working to micro-budgets, and are happy to pay

I'm no idiot. I have 25 years experience in the industry from the creative, political, financial and personal, including my extensive formal education and I've yet to find anything that matches up to Zappa's quality as an artist.

I'm hoping Zappa wont become the next John Cage, even though the comparison is not unwarranted.

I'm genuinely wanting to know how there is a justification for this. For the sake of argument - let's say the New Testament is completely true, with perhaps a few historical mistakes at most or maybe translation errors, but essentially we say can say "it pretty much happened" like that.

The Old Testament clearly isn't true - many Christians have even told me this. They're meant to be allegorical and the idea that there were giants, great floods, the Kingdoms of David etc is clearly symbolic in some way.

Why would the bible be written this way? What justification is there for this.

Please can I get answers from Christians and not atheists who will give the obvious answer. Thank you.

There are far too many to list here - but a few examples might be:

In Matthew 17:1 it says that the transfiguration happened after six days, but according to Luke 9:27-28 said it happened after eight days.

In Matthew 20:18-19 Jesus tells the apostles of his upcoming death and resurrection, but in John 20:8-9 the apostles were not aware of this.

Matthew 20:30 says that Jesus healed two blind men, but it says that he only healed one in both Mark 10:46 and Luke 18:35.

In Matthew 27:12-14 Jesus remained silent throughout his trial, but in John 18:19-38 Jesus spoke quite a bit with fairly long speeches.

Matthew 28:1 says that there were two women who went to the sepulchre, in Mark 16:1 three

I wanted to move up from a cheap old pair of 10x50 I got years ago for free (that turned me on to stargazing) for just general spotting - The eye pieces are gone so I'm looking to get something that wasn't made 30 years ago - hoping modern tech will be good. Celestron Skymaster 25X70 Porro Prism Binocular or Celestron Skymaster 20 X 80 Binoculars - or - Olympus 12x50 EXPS or of course something else. They all come in around the same price would love to know thoughts - cheers guys.

I see this one so much - even from so called professors like the link below. Fascism started in France, spread to Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece. At the time these were by far the most religious societies in Europe. The Italian Nationalist Association (National Syndicalist movement) had close links to the Catholic church. Georges Sorel (a key fascist) merged Catholics and French patriots to grow the movement and push for the war. The fascist manifesto was derived from Catholic social doctrine and the Lateran Treaty was a deal signed by the Pope and the National Fascist Party of Italy. I'm surprised Atheists don't arguing that Catholic doctrine leads to fascism. Anyone disagree with that h
