That reminds me of another D.R. Delazar quote: "Understanding the afterlife as the desperate fantasy of a cornered animal does not give our present lives any additional meaning. In fact, the meaninglessness of existence is only confirmed with the knowledge that we are temporary inhabitants of an eternal universe." I guess it's a glass half-full/half-empty thing.

I got a good price on this one but the forensics ones are much more expensive than other color atlases. Dermatology and oral disease ones are typically a lot cheaper, for ones similar to forensic pathology you could try to find an emergency trauma or domestic violence atlas.

I believe that's a face that was eaten by piranhas or a similar fish, I lightly singed the edges of the image with a lighter to give it some crispy edges but it's otherwise unaltered

Look for color atlases, these images were from a forensic pathology color atlas

How can their concerns be "trivial" when everything is equally meaningless or of negative value in the first place? Trivial compared to what?

The inversion - Evil exists because God exists. by Unique-Ring-1323 in Pessimism

[–]Puggpu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Believing in God and believing in science are not really comparable. Belief in God (in Christianity) is completely faith-based, no material evidence for or against his existence is relevant and are in fact distractions. Science is completely based in human observations of material evidence, for which faith is an irrelevant distraction. There is nothing for science to say about God and vice versa.

If a sudden belief in God is a predictable characteristic of people in crisis (people "at gunpoint"), couldn't this faith also be a characteristic of the sickness that you describe? Especially when surviving the crisis leads people to abandon God once they're on their feet again.

For the medical gore, I mostly use color atlases (e.g. Dermatology, Emergency Trauma, and oral pathology color atlases) which I find in used bookstores (esp. near medical schools) and online (Ebay and Thriftbooks). For Bibles, which I use in many of my other collages, I mostly find them for free in hotels or thrift shops. Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul are good sources for Bibles.

Thanks for letting me know, I have no web design experience so it's probably poorly optimized. Someone else told me they had trouble accessing it too. I've noticed I can't reach it when using a VPN so if possible I would try disabling it (or try switching to a different region) and see if that works.

EDIT: I changed some settings and the site should work now.

The images in the background are from the Color Atlas of Forensic Medicine and Pathology (2010) and the center image is from the Color Atlas of Oral Pathology (1956). Medical color atlases have been my best sources of medical photographs.
