An unofficial question: if Agnostic.com had a mascot who or what should it be?
Would it be a famous person?
Perhaps, an animal?
An object? A statue? A flag?
Fictional or not?
What do you think?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The Thinker by Rodin: It was originally designed for "The Gate of Hell" by Dante; however, it became famous as a stand-alone sculpture. It is a very moving piece of sculpture, and I was spellbound when I saw it. To me, it symbolizes the way we (agnostics/atheists) came to realize the truth.

Excellent choice! Hits the mark, definitely. I've seen two of them (Paris and Stanford), I should have checked out the Philly one.
One of Rodin's original castings of "The Thinker," owned by Gerald Cantor, a former employer of mine, went down with the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11 along with something like 900 Cantor-Fitzgerald employees. The sculpture's head was recovered but disappeared mysteriously soon after. I like the idea of the sculpture being a logo or "mascot" for the site but it may be trade marked.
I vote for @silvereyes.

That's okay, @silvereyes, because nothing exists outside my mind. And nothing exists outside yours. Each of us is a bubble of unverifiable perceptions. Every sight, sound, touch, smell, taste… every pleasure and every pain… it all takes place in the mind, and we can never see the minds of one another. And none of us can ever be certain anything at all exists outside ourselves. Each of us, whether we know it or not, is the embodiment of solipsism. And so my experience of you, indeed, resides in my mind and is for all intents and purposes a product of my imagination.
An ape.

There could be something there to that. I like it.
A hedgehog, just because they are so darn cute. Can't be a penguin, Linux has that sewed up.

I don't know what it should be but I know what it should be doing. It should be holding something simple, a rock, a seed, a flower and it should be looking into it deeply as if it's seeing it for the first time.

Perhaps a symbol to represent science. A portrait of Charles Darwin? Of course from what I have read, Darwin himself was not an atheist.
@silvereyes How about this. Use the fish symbol with the feet, and for the eye have the Atheist symbol of the A inside the circle. I think that would work as a mascot symbol for the site. You might also be able to incorporate other atheist symbols ihnto an enhanced artwork of the fish with feet. Anyway, that is th ediestion i am thinking in.
The fish with feet munching on a bible or maybe climbing aboard and weighing down the cross jee-whiz is dragging to his cruci-fiction.
Hyperion is the name of a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Northern California that was measured at 115.92 m (380.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree.
