You would have to ask David Gervais (or maybe I will). I yanked it off of the avatar emporium. I liked the old one to, it reminded me of a monk or somesuch, but this one was calling to me.

No argument here. The problem I had was in refering to the entirety of a religious text (of any religion) as myth, as opposed to pointing out the mythical elements of a text. I was never arguing for the dominance of the christian viewpoint. I was arguing against the implied triviality of religious texts.
