The Sins of The Camera
"I can't stand pornography. So I up and bought me one of them Christian cameras," said Don McGrath, a long-time professional photographer from Johnson City, Tennessee. "I seen it advertised in a Christian magazine. Takes nice, clean photographs. Easy to use, adjust, right smart."
"It ain't like them other cameras. Ain't crude or coarse like some cameras I know. Them heathen cameras that do whatever they want. Uncivilized, barbarian cameras. Improper, boorish antics."
"This camera's got character. Been to church, been baptized, took communion, tithed, read the Bible and prayed. It does. Imagine that. Did you ever hear of a camera that obeys the ten commandments. This camera's a good Christian. Righteous living, tea-totaling, god-fearing camera. This here camera has accepted the Lord into its heart."
"Let's face it some cameras break the law. Don't have no bearings when it comes to setting a good example. Fact is they's a lot of cameras out there is bad. Just don't have high moral standards. They been corrupted by the devil."
"This Christian camera don't take nothing but pictures of Christians and the Christian life. If you get a drunk or gambler or womanizer in your finder, it just don't click. Nothing comes out. Ain't that the most delightful thing you ever heard?"
"Everybody know cameras are good things to own. Course, they's good cameras and they's bad cameras. You got to know how to pick a camera out. Don't assume a camera got good qualities. Don't hesitate to ask questions about whether it's a Christian camera or not. Maybe you need a Catholic camera or an Episcopalian camera or a Baptist camera. Either way check the features, the label, read the instructions."
"You don't want to get into any trouble. A bad camera can make some pretty awful pictures. Mistakes occur because the camera fails to live up to expectations. Or it just plain is dirty-minded. The fault lies in the camera and not in the photographer, you need to understand the qualities you should be looking for in a camera. Dependability is one of the keys in selecting the best camera."
"To avoid the pitfalls, a good camera has to have principles. Bad cameras are to blame for most of the misbehaving we see in pornography magazines and films. R-rated means the camera is unethical. It ain't the person behind the camera, it's the camera. They's two kinds of cameras. Christian cameras and pagan cameras. The pagan kind don't got any beliefs or virtues. They shoot people in their birthday suits. Shoot people doing violent things. Robbing banks, knifing other human beings. Ferocious, irresponsible pagan cameras don't have no good sense."
"It's Daddy and Mama didn't teach the camera right from wrong. It got bad genes. It thinks society is better for it behaving like it does. Wicked, loose as a goose. Immoral behavior by cameras, video and still cameras, has been going on for decades."
"Therefore the wild, bad camera misbehaves, thinking it can get away with being lewd ogler, peeping tom that ain't no good for nothing. Exposing the shameful parts of society. The act of love should not be put on film, and any camera that thinks it's capable of doing so is arrogant, disillusioned, and plum ignorant."
"The unprincipled camera does not tell the truth. It exaggerates. It captures the smallest petty things. It's neither noble or fearless. But a degenerate liar among us. It's uncivilized demeanor is one of perversion. It's mischief thrill-seeking maligns. It's shameless thievery of decency has offended every decent citizen. The bad camera is much need of reprimand. Incarceration, punishment fitting its horrible crimes."
"The bad camera don't got any sense. It's rubbish, and I mean worthless. Instead of showing the world how Christianity will nourish society, the bad camera is profane. Spilling out the most outrageous, bestial conduct. It attempts to overthrow our Christian democracy and devour the glorious human spirit in one bite. The bad camera shows the wretchedness that men are capable of. The offensive, inhuman capacity of a mindless and depraved world. One bent on self-destruction and outright meanness to the sacred notions of life we all hold dear. "
"I suggest if you got a bad camera you ought to bring it to church. Let it listen to a few sermons. Teach your camera how to pray. Read your Bible to your camera. Sing hymns to it. And if that don't work, nothing will."
"Me, I baptized my three old cameras. Held them down in the sink. Poured hot water and detergent over them. Let them soak. Sure they didn't like it none. They beeped. But They good Christian cameras now."
