re: #81 Skaught

I didn’t suggest that I was speaking on behalf of all Christians. But as a Christian, who knows other Christians, I do have an understanding of how the “Darwin Fish” is perceived. Having known people with the “Darwin Fish” on their cars, I also know the intent behind it as well.

“How many representations does it need” is irrelevant to the fact that the icthus does represent Christians in general, not just “anti-evolutionists”. I haven’t missed any point, since the mockery that the “Darwin Fish” implies is not as limited as you wish it to be. LGF may not intend it, but the symbol does mock Christianity in general since the icthus represents Christianity in general.

My point, that I think you’ve missed is, if LGF does not intend to mock Christinity in general, it’s best not to use a symbol that does that.

As I said regarding bumper stickers, I can rephrase so that you might appreciate your thin skin a bit better; I don’t respect anyone that feels they have to wear their religion on their sleeve.

That applies, of course to those who go as far as wearing a uniform, be it FLDS, Muslim or whatever.

As to the mocking, what makes you think the people who post a fish on their cars are not saying something to those who don’t?
