So if a photo was real when we were present when it was taken; and the subject was real at the time, what are they now. The subject could be a deceased parent,etc. and no longer exist in the present, and I infer most take that as less real. The picture of the deceased in the present would be real in that it is an artifact and a representation. Something about this isn’t sitting right with me logically. I think at the moment in the past and the moment in the present both the picture and the subject are equally real.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
