A Cowboy And An Atheist

It is always interesting when you strike up a conversation with somebody you’ve never met before. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, there is typically something to learn.

Of course, it helps if you are properly matched with the other person you are speaking with. That wasn’t the case when a cowboy and an atheist met up on a flight.

What started out as a normal conversation quickly took on an ugly tone. It’s a good thing the cowboy used all of his wisdom to shut the atheist down.

Man captures glowing figure shining through clouds

For a great number of people, it is a sign.

Regardless of one’s religious affiliation or lack thereof, there are events and relationships in life that give us the feeling that they are a part of something bigger.

It is necessary to avoid doubting the things that happen or the difficulties that may come up on the path in order to have faith in God.

Italian photographer Alfredo Lo Brutto recently shared a shot of a figure he had captured in the sky on social media. The figure had a striking resemblance to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Reaching a height of thirty meters, this magnificent statue is not only the biggest representation of Jesus on the planet but also the highest art deco statue ever created.

Alfredo managed to spark some controversy when he shared the amazing snapshot he had taken over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Some say that the figure is just the clouds with the sun beaming through them, while others think it is divine and a sign from God.

People have expressed different opinions about pictures that have surfaced online before, and this time, there are a sizable number of people on both sides of the debate.

The view enthralled me totally. “I don’t usually post images on social media, but when I took this one, I instantly felt like I wanted other people to see it because it was so beautiful,” Alfredo told Daily Mail. “Since I don’t share many pictures, I don’t share them on social media very often.”

We can all agree that this image is extraordinary because it portrays the beauty of the natural world in which we live, even if you don’t think you can see a picture of Jesus in it.
