I'm not saying run around saying you are an atheist. I responded to a quote saying "why talk to religious people?".
No, I was not saying they never do. I was saying that if they don't, then it's not an issue. I don't think there was a single egoistic reality about my statement. I merely responded to the implication that they need to be confronted.

I have no idea how photographic journalists deal with the things they do, because they are not always humanitarians or in possession of the necessary supplies to help everyone they come across.
Well, I believe that guy coped by killing himself.
I still haven't looked up the story because I'm a putz, but you could be right (joking or not).
