I suppose I'm just ignorant. I don't get it. What are these so-called "blessings"? What do they signify? What are they for? Why do we even have them here?

You used to be able to spend them on name changes. I think the staff have plans to incorporate some use for blessings but right now they're useless.

Two options:

1. You are so screwed up in your thinking that you need to a lot of help from God to straighten out.

2. Somebody really liked what you said.

I have no idea which one is correct.
Huh? What are you talking about?

And the avatars! That was a long time ago though.

Can you use your Blessings to gift someone a membership? I think I did that once ?

You could. You also used to, way back when, have avatars that you could create and buy things for them using blessings. This was many years ago though. I've always missed it and wished they would bring it back.

Earning and using blessing's to help new members was also fun, and it helped the site to attract and keep new members.

Yes, that was wonderful, wonderful fun!!!
They had a group of very talented artists here, with their own forum! Who used to create a variety of Characters that you could buy to represent you.
And then there was clothing, accessories, scenery, animals, food, and an amazing assortment of things to put in your avatar.

Yep. It was kind of like an avatar builder. You chose a character that looked like you (in my case, female, brown hair, blue eyes, etc.) and could customize it with blessings. For example - a background, a Bible, prayer rope, Hat, etc.

This is an example of an avatar that was built with the avatar builder
