Can God Take a Photograph? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I ran this series on another forum, and it went pretty well, except for one guy who made it a matter of hatred. Everybody else liked it, so here goes:

Question #1: Can God take a photograph?

Tweety · 01-25-2011, 10:36 PM

Probably has no reason to, as he has a photographic memory.

Besides, God wouldn't need a camera to create a picture. He could just create the picture.

Valid point, Tweety, and so:

Question #2: Can God take a photograph, using a camera?

Tweety · 01-26-2011, 09:05 AM

God can do anything as long as it doesn't violate His nature (e.g. He can't lie).

So I would say "yes", He could take a picture with a camera.

Question #3:

Can God use a camera to take a better photograph than anyone else?

MickeyMac · 01-26-2011, 08:29 PM

Considering that God created the universe, I have a feeling God could handle a camera.

Vince53 · 01-27-2011, 09:44 AM

Question #4: Can God take a better photograph than anyone else, with a camera that uses black-and-white film?

Vince53 · 01-28-2011, 11:00 AM

The next question requires some explanation. Long ago, if you were to take an outdoor picture, you pretty well needed to have the sun behind you. The quality of the lenses and film were such that if the sun were shining into the camera, you would probably not get a good picture.

Question #5: Can God take a better picture than anyone else, using a black-and-white camera that is facing towards the sun?

Vince53 · 01-29-2011, 11:31 AM

Question #6:

Can God take a better photograph than anyone else, using a black-and-white camera, with the sun facing towards the lens, and they don't have the props they need for the scene?

Vince53 · 01-30-2011, 09:30 AM

Question #7: Can God take a better picture than anybody else, when the photographer gets angry because the sun is shining into the lens, so he refuses to take the picture?

Vince53 · 01-31-2011, 09:48 AM

Almost there, Folks. For most pictures, you want the people to be facing the camera.

Question 8: If everyone is tired of listening to the photographer's whining and refuses to face the camera, can God take the best picture ever taken?

MrCleveland · 01-31-2011, 02:25 PM

God could probably take a picture better than Google Map. He may have pics of other planets that we don't even know about.

The best question is...Can God make a planet SO big that even he can't lift?

Vince53 · 02-01-2011, 10:18 AM

Good to hear from you, Mr. Cleveland. I was afraid that I had run everybody off.

And finally, last but not least, Question #9:

"Can God, using a black-and-white camera that is facing towards the sun, take a better picture than anybody else, when they didn't have the proper equipment for the scene, the people in the scene won't face the camera, the photographer refuses to take the shot, and THEN, the photographer finally takes the shot... and misses?"

In 2,000 years of expansion and conquest, no foreign conqueror had ever placed their flag on Japanese soil, an accomplishment that no African, American, or European nation can come close to making. This impressive record came to an end on February 23, 1945, when United States Marines raised the American flag on Iwo Jima, an isolated but vitally important island that is part of Japan itself.

And the Marines blew it. The flag was too small, and the flagpole was too short, and most people couldn't see it. Ordered to replace it with a bigger flag and a bigger flagpole, the Marines didn't have any. But they got hold of a Navy flag, and finding a lengthy piece of undamaged Japanese water pipe, they tied the flag to it.

Meanwhile, Joe Rosenthal, a civilian photographer, went to the first flag, intending to photograph the two flags being exchanged. As they were ready to start, Rosenthal complained that he was facing towards the sun, and he wanted to delay the exchange while he found a better position. Egged on by one Marine who taunted them for caring about a picture, the Marines ignored him. Rosenthal tried to get them to at least face his camera, but they were in a hurry and ignored him. Still arguing, Rosenthal realized that they had begun. Swinging his camera toward the scene of the exchange, he snapped the picture without having time to look through his view finder... and missed.

And if God ever took a photograph, this is the one He took:

Just curious but what is the obsession whether God can take a picture or not?
