Who can tell me what this is? |
|
I'm referring to the avatar that I hope will show up with my message. I'll tell you what I thought it was after I hear a couple of opinions. RoeBear

Other than the two hands raised to a flame, what significance does it have to you?

That's what I thought it was too. It lookedlike a guy with a robe and one of those KKK dunce caps. I had no idea that the avatars came from DU and obviously since they do it had to be something different.
My apologies to Maple who's posts I had never read before. His answer is the right one.

Two hands with a flame floating above them or somebody dressed in a robe with out-stretched arms. I have no clue what it really is or stands for.

9. That is a flaming chalice... |
|
It's the symbol adopted by the Unitarian Universalists to represent themselves. I guess they just don't like using execution devices as their symbol...search me.

17. OMG... I used to have a pair of those!! |
|
I think I sold them at a garage sale for about 50-cents. It still had a small baggie of the little "wick-lets" too.

18. LOL....Why am I not surprised? |
|
I had them too. I think gay people were their target market and I was only like 10 or 12 at the time and loved them.
