New Theme

[affirmedatheist]

About the only thing I would suggest is having the normal page background as some sort of grey rather than white... It's a little bright and can strain the eyes. Otherwise, I quite like the theme... The (I assume temporary) changes today made me do a bit of a double take though.

Definitely I think the base look is there, all it may need is a tweak here and there.

Just a thought. No requirement to implement it, though it would suit me fine.

(I wasn't aware there were 12 themes before - but I quite liked the old one. Darker themes seem to be easier on my eyes for some reason).

Will you be adding signature pics for other theistic faiths than the Judeo/Christian one provided, such as the one I suggested for Wicca (which would also work for many other pagan faiths: a sprinkling of pentacles on a pastel background, similar to the Agnostic question marks or the Atheist "A" symbol), or must I keep running my protest signature line?

I think the fairytale god is pretty insulting too. A better theist pic would be an amalgamation of all the symbols:


And then possibly one for each subdivision too... same with humanism, nihilism etc

It would be quite impossible to put a signature pic for every religion on Earth. That is pretty much a given.

For example, none of the ones you provided would be suitable for me, my pagan cohorts, or a Discordian. Many of them represent religions that have holy books that recommend the destruction of folk like me and unbelievers such as atheists.

A solution might be to simply ask one to be made when a person of a previously un-represented religion shows up, such as I have. Many of the symbols you provide are of faiths that would have no trouble with a marshmallow roast of a Wiccan, with a few atheists for condiments, while neither atheists nor Wiccans are particularly interested in crushing those faiths beneath our bootheels.

Stop you're making me salivate!!

I was just giving an example - I know those didn't include you... I was meaning you could add something to encompass you weak minded sorts

Maybe it's be simpler to have the 'A' Atheist symbol crossed out. Nothing else seems to encompass theism.

Or, you could just make your own sig pic, like many others have done. I like the idea of an A crossed out! Non-atheist lol.

I like the idea of a chicken being decapitated by the 4 elements and mana star. And don't forget the nude dancers holding hands as they do an encircling cancan around the chicken.

We are talking about Wiccan, yes?

As a theme for an atheist forum?
In the spirit of fairness, of course.

I still hate the new theme, fyi.
