Can I wear a pantheist icon to poke fun at the system and still be considered Reformed, or is that generally frowned upon?

I don't think it's a good idea since everyone is freaking out because of the switch of rules.

Actually, there is no humor in that stance or statement as it is considered blasphemy. Claiming to be 'pagan' is like spitting in the face of a holy God, abominable! Why would you desire to do such a thing?
If you want to come to salvation in Jesus Christ you would be welcome here. Many here would be of help to you.
If you have no interest in learning of Him then there is little here you would find of interest. We will be praying for you, that He would open your eyes to His truth and cause you to see Him as a holy creator and ruler of the universe and desiring that all come to faith in Christ.

Why do we use icons? So people can identify who we are and have an idea of our belief! If one comes along and sees one claiming 'pagan' on a reformed forum why would they question their claim?
I certainly would never mean to offend but yet I find it offensive that one would be on a christian forum with the claim of being a pagan, even in jest! Is that a subject of jest? I dont joke about issues of eternity!
So now its come to this, that we dont identify others by their icon, but who we think they are, is this right? No stand for truth, just poking jokes at the system? How credible is that? Oh well, guess I'll retreat once more in frustration.

I'm using it to make a point; our current system makes faith icons just so many aesthetic aspects of our profiles. I don't mean to offend either, but I feel it's a point that needs to be made.

I don't find any humor in it either, but you have to admit, the way things are currently set up in terms of faith icons is rather absurd. If we use that as an indicator of where someone stands theologically, we're all going to be in serious trouble. Of course, unless you know the other person, then it's just a moot point.

I kind of think most of the icons are goofy anyway. Beyond having someone's approximate age, knowing whether you are "talking" to a male or female, etc. I am not sure what real purpose they serve. I guess I am speaking more of the CF Characters and all the things you can buy with your blessings. I have never understood the pet thing.
CC&E-who has never ventured into most of CF so not sure why there are non-Christian members anyways.

I too don't think it's funny to make claims about worshiping false gods, since we're making light of God's majesty and his Gospel. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't be too hard on them, but correct them gently. Their hearts were in the right place after all: it is a stupid system.

Well.... since I use the Bhutan national icon <sheepish grin>, I think I'll stay out of this one.

I do depending on the context is being used since other dieties are a joke.
I will like to say that I am concerned how this forums worry for Erwins changes seems to push many into legalism. Especially when I was told I shouldn't go to seminary because I hold an old earth position.
