Title: iStock Says God is a Myth
Post by: GeoPappas on September 19, 2006, 02:57
On top of all of the other stuff that is going on over at iStock, there is one more tidbit that you all might find interesting:

iStock has made the statement that God is a "fictional being".

I have a few Christian images that had the keyword "God" in them.  That keyword is now translated to the tag "God (Fictional Being)" and there doesn't seem to be an alternate choice.

I'm sure that all of the religious folks out there will just be so happy to learn that they have been worshipping a fable...

The tags come from Getty so they are the non-religious ones.

I agree that it is not good.  HOpefully they dont say anything bad about mohammad as well or things could get real bad!

So God is a myth and a boyfriend means a homosexual relationship!

Heck, "beta tester" isn't even IN their dictionary!

Note: IN would be translated to "Indiana" anyway so watch out with your words ;)

and they lock the thread... the final word being (and excerpt from EvilClown's answer...) "These are just keywords, nothing else."

I bet the Pope thought that his comments about Mohammed were "nothing" too :)
