Why are there so many people currently with the default image of jesus as their personal photo? Are they too scared to remove the divine image or too lazy, incompetent, ugly or whatever to replace it?

Come on, this is an atheist site we don't need to see symbols of tyranny and oppression each visit. I'm sure a pool of acceptable pictures can be provided for those who don't have anything.

If after three days membership without changing the image I suggest we just assume, without any grounds whatever, that the person is an infiltrating xian.

Wow... I put my picture up because, for the first time online, I am going to be myself. Even if I am one ugly mofo, I am who I am.

And there are certain circumstances around my having a photo. I do not own a camera. It was pure chance I was able to obtain one.

But, in agreement with you, it is easier than sin to google image search and photoshop it (or even use Paint to size it right if that's the problem!) No excuses!
But you don't have a picture up either?
I do have a picture. I just don't have a picture of me.

I didn't mention I expected to see a likeness. I honestly don't have any digital photos of me and if I posted a photo you'd never know if it was me or not. I think it's better to see the personality expressed in an avatar than a warts'n'all photo that could be of anybody.

Do you like the picture of jesus?
Candace, that I can look at, throw up and ignore. When I look at jesus I just continually throw up.
You were warned!

The vomit filled cheeks smooth out the wrinkles and lines.
That's yucky! :D <-- Necessary comment
I'll have you all know my avatar is 100% accurate (but not necessarily real)
I used to have something that said "Capitalism Sucks" with a Spanish Syndicalist flag back groud. That was when I signed on for ning. But I didn't want my politics to be everybody's focus on me when I am discussing something else. Though I don't entirely hide my politics on my profile. so I changed it to something that people might see if they saw me at another sight so they would recognize me.

But I am not all that enthusiastic about people recognize me when I don't know who they are.
Its better than having a distracting username like "SexKitten" or "Holocaustic".
What's distracting about "Sex Kitten"? I think it's attractive.
I almost immediately check the profile of anyone posting new discussions without having bothered changing their avatar.

I suspect that many people sign up and then are just never active and never bother to change the avatar. No doubt some are infiltrators.

My avatar isn't me but it looks an awful lot like me :D
