    Some users have been giving me a bunch of drama saying my Avatar is unchristian. What do you think?

    I think your avatar is your business and if other people don't have anything better to do but complain then that's their problem. If you like it, keep it and ignore the rest.

    tell them to get a sense of humor and let be

    Your avatar is fine.

    However, if you want to change it, maybe this would be suitable:

    You are offending Jesus. Off with your head. Wait, sorry, wrong religion.

    I've had this Avatar forever...But recently I got heat for it. But yes, it's a hybrid and I know it bothers many people. But I just think JESUS overall, bugs people here because most don't believe in him.

    If your intent is to offend or annoy then, yes.

    Otherwise

    I like the one you've got. It's an avatar, not a complete representation of your views and beliefs. I do not have a moustache of the same calibre as the one in my pic, moustaches, or even the concept of having a moustache to raise consciousness about prostate cancer are not my primary discussion points.

    I tend to think that the avatar has two duties, one is to help people keep posters apart, which would talk for keeping your old one, and the other is to get a very vague idea of the poster, and I think yours does that. Sure, if you look for some time, the jedi stance and the fact that Jedi is sometimes considered a religion might speak against you, but if you're looking for that long at any avatar, it's going to break its purpose.

    Christianity is not Islam. I know of no rule stating you should be blown up for having an avatar that displays Christ that way or any other way. For those who think your avatar is unChristian, they should grow up.

    It is mildly off-putting, and not in any way Christian, but there are many worse. There are very few Christians in America anyway, so not many people will be bothered.

    ]AL , wow , I bet that sore is giving ya a fit , sounds like the cast don't fit right , may I suggest a pack of dry ice ? but you'll prolly need several , you gonna have to cool the whole cast down before the cold ever gets to to sore. but it'll help , either that , or stick your leg in a freezer .

    If I ever saw a phone booth labeled as such , I'd just have to try it , lol , prolly be on 'candid camera' ... :smile:
