As I said, I am not here to argue! If these are your beliefs then I will not try and persuade you otherwise. There is plenty of information out there on the subject for others to look at and come to their own conclusions.
Perhaps I am over thinking but the fact that you are aware of the symbolism and meaning to others and yet still choose to have it as your avatar tells ME something. Again, I leave others to reach their own conclusions.
I don't think I did miss the point of the article @mobbs but I could be wrong!
I hope the rest of your day goes well my friend!
Well, that's your choice. Cheers
