Whats with the Avatar Steve n Jinky?

The facts speak for themselves...

What facts?

Noone knows what the hell you're talking about. Bleating away at your beliefs being offended denies the fact that you have done exactly that, and on a regular basis.

I really hate to point this out, but I can't resist.

In the Orthodox faiths, there is nothing wrong with displaying an ikon.

Really. They're all over Russian churches, and postcards, and cloth, and tiny pictures for the home.

And incidentally, those aren't dreadlocks.

Really. It's just a way to show curly hair in pictures painted before perspective. Wiki it if you want to see some more pictures.

Now, assuming that someone set out specifically to hurt your feelings by posting a picture (when posting a picture is not prohibited by your faith.) is probably a sign of an unhealthy belief that you are the center of the universe. Assuming not only that someone is on a mission to insult you by posting pretty religious pictures and the fact that they did so means that the LIBERALS are under your bed and that the whole forum is filled with LIBERALS and that the LIBERALS are the reason why you're bein' kept down in this society...

Well, ya look like a nutter. Just saying.

Melinda, I know this is hard for you to understand given that the world revolves around you, but the first 90-odd posts were mostly people wondering why Steve's avatar wasn't showing up.

So what - show me where that stopped you from from attacking the beliefs of others beliefs with your own narrow interpretation of liberal, hard-left liberals, hard line left liberals etc?

Stop trying to pretend that you're whiter than white when the snow you are standing in is completely yellow.

erekose, I'm offended by your signature. It insults my belief in the Elder Gods. Also, if it was your avatar with the CthulhuiPod, that was offensive, too. Everyone knows that Cthulhu doesn't use Apple products.

Can we get that cat back in here again?

After reading all 14 pages I would like to chime in here.

First, I have no problem with Steves Avatar. It is merely a picture of Jesus. He wasn't showing any disrespect with a rude comment associated with it so therfore it isn't offensive.

Second, I can only be offended if I give you the power to offend me. I do not give anyone that power.

Third, VJ Sheesh!!!!!

Huh? Sorry, I am not up on all the internet shorthand.

Oh, NM I found it!

In 1926 Howard Phillips Lovecraft, an obscure American author, penned a now-famous story called The Call of Cthulhu. In this tale, "sensitive individuals" around the world are afflicted by horrid nightmares. Forbidden lore tells that the nightmares are the telepathically transmitted dreams of Great Cthulhu, an extra-dimensional creature who "cannot live" because "the stars are not right". Driven insane, they perform despicable, unholy rites and chant Cthulhu Fhtagn - "Cthulhu Dreams!"
