So, I thought I'd start a thread on Mo's new avatar:
A couple thoughts:
1) Perhaps this is a sign that he's run out of intellectual arguments and has, Dawkins' style, resorted to mockery to make his point
2) Perhaps he's trying to find that "shock value sweet spot" among his Christian friends, which, perhaps has been elusive so far, much to his chagrin
3) Maybe he feels the need to have a visual reminder of his commitment to "openminded inquiry".
4) Should I find an icon of an atheist with a stake through his heart to up-the-ante?*
I dunno, what do you think?
Well, at least Jesus seemed to be pretty impervious to being lampooned. I mean, hey, he's the one who said:
everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven... Luke 12:10a
after all.
*I can't claim this one as original seeing at it was Alex's shrewd observation. Credit where credit is due.
