New smilies with religious & spiritual significance!
    #14583556 - 06/09/11 05:57 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Upon seeing the smilie for God is this:

:god:

I decided to lock down a 10 other spiritual/religious symbols in a less southparky way. So, in alphabetical order:


:adinkra:  ;adinkra;
:allah:  ;allah; 
:buddhism:  ;buddhism;
:cross:  ;cross;
:islam:  ;islam;
:judaism:  ;judaism;
:om:  ;om;
:namaste:  ;namaste;
:rastafari:  ;rastafari;
:wicca:  ;wicca;


Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg, but its a start.

If you personally adhere to a religious or spiritual denomination that you like to see refl;ected and would use the symbol of, find the most beautiful squaresized symbol of it, that would look good at 100x100 pixels max (nothing intricate) and which is universally recognizable by all members of that denominantion, please submit it.

You get bonus points if you submit it, cropped down to smaller than 100x100px in GIF format.

Please only submit the ones YOU personally subscribe to and which have broad recognition.

Personally I feel the southpark "god" image is intended to offend believers and as such unssuitable. All suggestions for a replacement God are welcome as long as the symbol has no particular religious affiliation. Me, I'm thinking of a representation of the Sun, as most religions see the sun as a symbol of whatever highest force guides us.

Oh, no satanism etc unless you ARE a satanist.

State your case with your submission.

This is my proposal for the god smilie:





The sun is an universal symbol for God. I didnt chose one with a face, cause a face implies masculinity or femininity which could cause problems also. The symbol chosen has no particular religious affiliation.
What about this symbol for "God" ?
You may choose only one

Not necessarily these but:



'Personally' I don't like to give an impression of god being something out there since so many of the more delicate minds with an overpowering ego take it in so I would say do something about the self. :twocents:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us all. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

IMO :god: is just fine the way it is.  Add a :god2: if you like but editing smileys for political correctness is nothing but censorship of the person who originally submitted that picture and associated tag to the Shroomery.  :thumbdown:

Anyone can nominate a picture with associated tag but it has to be submitted by a moderator.

:thumbup: 
The south park dudes knew what they were doing when they symbolized god in that way and it would be stupid to change it.  Wiccan, there are as many definitions of God as there are believers.

Poid and his interpetaion of life/god?  If you are relying on that shit man, get creative.  What image would you create god in and put it to a moderator like Decypher used to be.:rainbowdrink:
