The Greek word for fish is also the initials of the words...what was it..."Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Saviour" according to wikipedia, which gives a double-whammy of symbolism!
See, I paid attention in Confirmation class.
Or what Nutty said
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

X-post with actual religious people!!
Yes, Gud, one would think generally that the religion that likes to call pride a deadly sin would kind of ixnay on the oastingbay, but what the hell do I know?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Good morning, merry peoples.
I'll be calling my dad later to see how he's doing. He sounded so tired yesterday. I hope all the big bad drugs have allowed him to perk up. He is kinda pissed he'll be missing playing tennis and dominoes this week, so I know he's still the same old guy, i.e. my father.
It may or may not be a Christian retaliation against the Darwin fish.
What else could it be?
I hate all the fish except the first one without anything written in it. All the others that have anything to do with Christianity (either pro or con) irritate me. Some of the others (spaghetti monster, vampire, etc) get a passing nod, but that's it. I suspect this is sort of like me only liking Christmas songs that mention Jesus.

Oh, like there's a criteria for actually following the tenets of a religion to be able to claim to believe in it, especially vocally.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH has an aversion to putting any statements of belief on the back of a car. He's right, of course. I can insult people enough with just my driving.
I do enjoy reading bumper stickers, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The next person who asks me if I'm Saved is going to get an earful, believe me. Thankfully, it's rare to get asked that in New England, where it would be considered vulgar to trumpet the blessed state of your soul, lest other unsaved people feel lessened by it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't do bumper stickers. Dad does and I really should get him a BLIEVE, HON one for his truck out in NM because it makes no sense outside of Baltimore (and not much in) and would confuse people. Which would amuse us.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think about the snottiest things I see are the "In case of rapture this car will be unmanned" bumper stickers.
Oh yeah, that's super eyerolly.
I realize I don't know what the fashions are in bumperstickers, due to not being in a car basically ever.
