War artist observes Syrian life amid chaos

When British artist George Butler recently crossed the border from Turkey into Syria, he was greeted in the town of Azaz by abandoned tanks and piles of rubble from war-damaged buildings.

But normal life was continuing amid the chaos, and George - under the protection of the Free Syrian Army - started to sketch and paint watercolours of the scenes he observed.

To my mind, if your faith is strong, then you do not have a problem with it being questioned, in fact you should welcome it.
It shows that most Muslims follow their faith blindly, with many being brain washed from birth.
I feel that the same applies to many, if not most religious faiths.
For the record, I am atheist.

Years ago, I did try to join one of those religions where you all get naked and have lustful sex with each other, but was thrown out after only a couple of meetings after shouting my 'hail Marys at inappropriate times.

Oh! So that was you was it gm, always wondered who it was.

bb4 I have had three pints with my breakfast at 11.30 this morning very nice to."

See what you mean Skinny... Tankeeeeeeerrrrrrrr explain yourself.

Apparently, these days you are either a 'Creationist' or an 'Evolutionist'.

Some Creationists believe the world is only 6,000 years old but they don't seem to want to explain how it just doesn't mention dinosaurs in the Bible.

Now, if the world was only 6,000 years old or so, I would have thought a mention of them would have definitely been in the Bible.

eg. "Adam was walking down the road and all of a sudden a Tyrannosaurus Rex stepped out and so Adam slayed it with a stone from his sling."

But it isn't and this is why I am an atheist and an 'Evolutionist' too.

Hi ExecLine,

I like the Adam an Tyrannosaurus Rex angle.
But you are correct as religions ignore what is 100% fact proven and yet fully without question accept what is not.
To me the story of Christ is just that, a story.
I believe that there probably was a person called Jesus who was a great orator and was put to deatth by crucifixion by the Romans.
I also believe that he was probably married and had children.
All this was the way of the world in those days (little changed in many countries), but what I find incredible is to believe that he was conceived by a virgin, (Mary and Joseph must have had a very strange marriage!) was killed, buried and came back from the dead.
Religions can do good for both the world and individuals, I suppose its all down to if you believe or not, but I think the harm religions do is far more than the good.
Religions must count as the cause of more deaths than any other single cause in the world, from wars to famines as famines are usually caused by fractions of religions, mainly tribal, obstructing the relief of such disasters.
Here endeth todays sermon.

Hmmmm - People can be fat yet fit, research suggests

People can be obese yet physically healthy and fit and at no greater risk of heart disease or cancer than normal weight people, say researchers.

The key is being "metabolically fit", meaning no high blood pressure, cholesterol or raised blood sugar, and exercising, according to experts.

stan I do like a pint or two . have all my life and at 64 fit as a fiddle . fitter than these wimps that go to the gym ..
going to oxford sat and will meet you in shrewsbury soon .

better to have a good life than a dull one and end up in a home that abuses your rights . deaf is not a problem we are all going to die. going into a home is not for me .
