When the Photography is the unique visible source about an event, they believe until other information come about.

--------------------------------------------------------

In the early days of photography the saying was,"The camera cannot lie." and that was true at that time because the camera produced a negative which could not be altered, and the negative produced a positive which could not be altered. Photographers began to put colours onto photographs, especially those of people, but that did not alter the truth of the photo.

Nowadays there are programmes for computers where you can change anything at all when the photo is in the computer. So the saying is not true nowadays.

Why do people join a church?

Honestly, nobody can say why. But if I had to say anything, I would say they are scared about what society has taught them, and it's a waste of fear. -it is important not to confuse religion with your beliefs. Beleifs are what make you who you are, religion is just a group of people all on the same. Religion doesn't define you your beliefs do. ++ People are born religious. Fear has nothing to do with the subject. Be careful not to confuse religion with tradition/beliefs.
