I’m a little befuddled by the inquiry. Why not churches since there are all sorts everywhere and present photo ops outside and inside. How can one avoid shooting. In Europe, there is a cathedral at the center of every town that may have become a mosque and then back to cathedral. You could just make a career of shooting church doors - I’m told red doors mean that church is paid for. I’m not even a believer and I have hundreds and hundreds of church photos - missions in the SW, cathedrals in Europe, mosques in Turkey, Amish and Mennonite church yards filled with wagons, Quaker meeting houses, and on and on including the still under construction Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (hundreds there alone on two visits).

You say you want to take pictures of God's Love and power, that is what those flowers, birds, animals, and vistas are!

Wasn’t to the op now was it.

If you don’t want to be bothered, don’t put your nose into other people’s business.

Next time, why don’t you try to find out from a Christian how they feel about reincarnation or Krishna.

So if you want respect, make sure to give it first.

Still, I didn’t address the OP. I replied to jimbob.

However, you are also welcome to give us just one example where our god and creator answered a prayer.

God answers all prayers. Sometimes the answer is "No".

I was blessed just recently when Irma came through Florida, having just bought my mobile home. I prayed that it would be here when I returned from mandatory evacuation. (my first ever evacuation) Even when the house I had evacuated too lost part of its roof, I kept the faith that my mobile home would still be standing. Many of my neighbors were not so fortunate, in fact, every neighbor surrounding my home sustained damage. My home was perfect. Don't tell me that God does not answer prayers. Sometimes the answer is not what you think you want, however, in this case, I feel that I was blessed by his envelope of protection.

Take photos of people doing things Christian people do. Supporting refugees, adopting children without homes, service projects to needy neighbors, cleaning up after natural disasters, worship, showing love to older people, volunteering in organizations that serve the community, giving financially, going to church, providing meals to less fortunate people, etc

If we want to be honest, we could count on one hand how many times this righteous god of ours has answered our prayers.

Maybe he gets tired of hearing all the prayers we throw his way one day and he will actually give an answer.

Speak for yourself. That is certainly not my experience. Your problem is that you are simply too full of hubris. There is no room for God. First humble yourself. I will pray for you.

I have a nice Christian based shot. You are welcomed to it if like. ( I would e-mail it directly to you if you are interested. ) I call it "El Cap and The Cross." Shot this in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park in west Texas. Hung two crosses in a tree very near a shrine & this is what I came up with. Thanks, rpm

Here are a few photos that fit your theme taken yesterday at the Metropoltan Museum in NYC. Many, many more opportunities there.

Read Matthew 25:31-46. This passage, Jesus' final parable, describes what a real Christian is, one who helps the poor, the stranger, the imprisoned, and so forth. Pictures of examples of these would be most Christian. Wonder how this may relate to the new tax bill that probably will lead to cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and a whole group of programs that help the less fortunate.

Why not focus on your own Christian works? After all, faith is just a personal choice.

Remember God made all the animals and nature. Why not use them as well to help show his magnificent creation
