Dumb it down for me if you can.

RE: Dumb it down for me if you can.
@Brian37 - the size is easy. Do you understand the concept of how an overhead projector works to throw up a big image on a screen from a paper sized original? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_projector
It's the same principles of projecting from a film size to a paper size.
"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

Wrong. According to you, god magiced it.

Me singing "If I only had a brain" might actually get that straw man dancing. And now we see why Christians don't like doing nice things for asshats.

YAY, hurl insult in order to avoid the point at hand. How very, very chtistian of you.

It is nobodies problem that, as you claim, that you lack a brain. If you are unable to have one of your own, pray that your random deity of choice hands one to you. After all, you are convinced that works. Right?

Of course not. You are no more convinced than any atheist.

RE: Dumb it down for me if you can.
The topic was photography. I explained from my experience the apparatus for said transfer to paper. You asserted that I think God magicked it, which clearly wasn't the case. You were just being a smarmy asshat, and deflect when called out on it. I don't think I'll waste any more time on your here. Let me know if I need to dumb it down for you anymore, because at least that is in line with the topic.

Not every Christian attributes every mundane occurrence (such as photography) to ‘goddidit.’

Great. Elect an atheist president, why not? What holds you back?

Well, we have an openly agnostic prime minister, so, you know...baby steps.  I suppose we could establish a ceremonial presidency (like Ireland), but then what would our governor-general do?
