Do you believe in the ‘sky fairy’?

Does “god” only come from 1 religion, or does every group, sect, tribe have their own god?
Surely like any debate, everyone is entitled to their very own and special belief.

“ appreciate religion in particular and politics can produce a wide variety of opinions on fora. I was idly thinking as our forum is quite widely populated by engineering and very much hands on types how many of our members actually believe in a or their God. ”

While the Spaghetti or Banana gods have their place, what I take out of their teachings is my “spiritualism”. Nature teaches most of what I will ever see, the cosmos also do their part.

The overbearing fanatics sure could use some meditation (and a sweat lodge or 8), as far as I am concerned.

I am very against any protest towards anyone’s thoughts. Just be yourself. Appreciate, Accept, Acknowledge, Apologize are the only words/thoughts/beings required. We are just and simply, Humans Being.

How do you do a search on an image? I was shown many years back but the memory etc

When you do a google search (starting at the real google site http://www.google.com or .co.uk)
you will often see a menu line appear under your search box. Click Images and it will find images of what you were looking for, but also the search bar gains a camera icon. Click that icon and you can either upload an images for google to compare or you can give the address of an image already on the internet.

For example, this is an image search for my elan, when it was Red.

My son in law is left handed. His catholic school tied his left hand behind his back to force him to write with his right.
Then probably punished him for poor writing! This would have been in the late 80's!

Apparently it's mentioned in the bible 25 times as a sin.

I must admit I try to avoid Google if possible so fired it up and - there it is! Top right in small script.

Assuming you're using Google the easiest way is to simply right click on the image and the box that appears will have the option of "Search Google for image".

So you can very quickly see if someone has "borrowed" an image and is claiming it as their own, or if any of your images are being used elsewhere.

So don't make the mistake an old bloke made here of putting up pics on a local "Neighbourhood" site of all the clever food dishes he was making.
Lots of congratulatory compliments, until someone checked where the pics had come from..... :)

Doesn't work for me. Maybe its a windows issue - some do / some don't. Who knows?

In a swift thread twist I googled an image on an Iso Grifo and realised that the back is remarkable similar to a +2!
I wonder if Ron was also a fan?

Even more similar to an early plus 2 that used the same rear lights!
They are near identical.
