Analyze JonB's Avatar

[Tino]

I know there are many threads in many atheist forums discussing JonB's avatar already but I think it worthwhile to add another one here. Let's start with the well understood parts. First, we've got the partial movie title, from "Between God, the Devil and a Winchester", an obscure, misguided spaghetti western film. Gilbert Roland's character represents the Long John Silver role. Roland has an iron arm instead of a wooden leg but embodies the same mix of charm and baseness of the pirate captain. His charismatic untrustworthiness is a magnet and, on a surface level, leaves the viewer unsure as to which way he will ultimately turn. All so well and good, but, as a family adventure story with a firm moral position at its heart, it gradually becomes all too obvious which way he will finish up and the sacharine ending when it arrives undermines any pleasure we may have gained from him during the twists and turns of the story. Did this movie have some sort of profound impact on young Jon? And why does the avatar omit the phrase "the Devil"? Is this a tip of the hat to atheist community, or is it just to leave some space so we can see the face of the go-go dancer in the background? And who is she and why is she there? Note the contrast of the missing "the Devil" and a dancer dressed in pure white - a contrast of an angelic figure overcoming "the Devil"? Perhaps this is some sort of a signal of a lingering belief in a deity by Jon. And then we have the curious visage of actor Gilbert Rowland holding a pistol, born in Mexico with the name Luis Antonio Damaso de Alonso. After his mother died, he always wore a ring on his left hand engraved with her dying words to him: Hijo mlo, no te apures, no te asustes; adioa, alma mla. The English translation is: My son, don't rush yourself, don't worry yourself, good-bye, my soul. Yes, this is an intriguing clue. His eyebrows go up and down, his cheek shakes, and the constant puffing on the cigarette causing the tip to glow on and off. Simply a connection to the movie (the image is from the movie poster) but does it reveal something else? And finally we come to the flashing word "Draw." Is this simply a reference to the cowboy movie theme of a gunfight challenge, or is it meant as in to cause to move in a particular direction, or perhaps to sketch someone or something. Yes, the questions are many and the answers are few. Who will help with the analysis?
