@ vermania: then what would you say it is?
from
http://www.dictionary.com
avatar
1. The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
2. An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
3. A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.

why do you say that? i would agree that it is a Hindu concept which has been broadened by western society into a more general meaning, but not necessarily a bastardization of that idea. i know Christians who view Christ as an avatar of God, rather than His "son" in the biological sense.
