From the Altered Images category, The diversity of ordinary life, by Branko Stojanovic of Novi Sad, Serbia. Photographer Stojanovic: “During a two-year period (from 2008-2010), I was shooting every day activities of my neighbors. The idea was to show diversity of ordinary life and this old socialist building which I saw as some kind of prison. In that kind of huge structure with many people, even your neighbors are almost total strangers”. Photographed in Novi Sad, in November of 2011.

A love letter

I don’t think enough people understand what it means that Jesus loves them. People think they know, they think that they are informed. But if they were informed than they wouldn’t be against God.

I think its sad when anyone in our culture finds some way to say that its alright to kill babies that are already born. I am not even talking about abortion, no I am talking about so called experts who believe that there is no difference between abortion and killing a living human out of the womb. Don’t get me wrong, I am against abortion too, but the pro choice people always swear up and down that when the baby is in the womb its not living, but now some people would prefer to not even draw a line between in the womb or out of the womb. Their reasoning, they say is because the baby is not a actual human being. Basically they are dehumanizing a new born baby just like they dehumanized the the baby in the womb. I think Hitler would be proud of these so called ‘wise thinkers’. I just now wonder when will it be an option to kill your new born baby because he doesn’t have your nose, or is disabled and so because of whatever reason its ethically ok to kill the child. This is a brave new world!
“Parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are “morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to abortion, a group of medical ethicists linked to Oxford University has argued. (via Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say - Telegraph)”
