Reply to comment by Garmand3r in I’ll never get tired of seeing a horse & buggy at the grocery stores in Amish country. by TyeDyeAmish

Not true. They just don't like to be photographed going about their daily lives -- especially when it's a photo of a child. It happens to them multiple times whenever they go in public, especially in the summer / tourist season.

You are both wrong. They believe that humans are created in the image of God and that it is wrong to make “graven images” so they don’t agree with photos or drawings of people, and their dolls have blank faces.

No, I'm not wrong. I'm ex-Mennonite with Amish family. Their dolls do not have blank faces. Maybe the extreme white toppers, but not the conventional black toppers. You're right that they're biblical literalists though.

I'm not wrong either. The guy who yelled at me was wrong.
