Jesus fish and Darwin fish

peteos · Jul 26, 2007

Does anyone here have both a Jesus Fish and a Darwin Fish on your car. For about half a year I have wanted to do this. The respective fishes are usually representing dichotomy in beliefs, ie, you either believe in Jesus or believe in evolution. I would like to begin to break that dichotomy by asserting

1) I believe evolution has taken place
2) I TRUST Jesus to forgive me of my sins.

Two different types of beliefs. I don't trust evolution to do anything for me

However, I am pretty much still in the closet on TE among most of my piers, and it would only antagonize them to put a Darwin fish on my car, and cause more "heat then light" as they say.

I've been dying to do this lately, myself. My wife has a Jesus fish, and I've had my eyes open for a Darwin fish for some time. I would proudly sport both fish on my car... even to church!
Incidentally, my old avatar featured the very same idea.

Haha! Yeah, you know it's kind of funny - whenever I see the Darwin fish, the first thing I think is, "Theistic Evolutionist." I get all excited, and then I remember that it may very well not be so.

I'd never put anything on my car, though, least of all something that identified me as a Christian. It's the nature of the road. I'm a pretty good driver - even people not from Boston have told me so - but in the case that I do something rude or that's perceived as rude the last thing people see is the fish. Bad news.

I don't have anything on my car, but I did see an interesting bumper sticker the other morning after work:
Soy Creacion
no evolucion

Looks like there's a Spanish speaking Creationist contingent we're going to need to start worrying about.

Nah that is just talking about GM Soya beans which have been interlligently designed, well sort of.

On the question of Jesus fish Darwin fish, I would say no, not unless there are anti Darwin fish swimming around the parking lot. To have both is place Darwin in the same category as Jesus, which as they say is a bit of a category error. Nice idea though...

I've never put any kind of sticker on my car, they tend not to go on the bumpers over here (because out bumpers just aren't as big as they tend to be in the US) but in the rear window. I've been thinking about trying to get my hands on something Fijian, but surprisingly there's not too much of that over here.

How about this...

feel free to copy and paste for whatever reason.

I also made this one....

I liked it so much I made it into a animated gift....

Very nice. Thanks muchly.

In a college town (where else?), I saw a Jesus fish and a Darwin fish nose to nose, as though they were kissing. Thought that was an interesting way of starting a conversation with folks of many different stripes.

Those are cute!

Though I have to wonder - veraxacis, have you checked if your avatar animation might trigger epilepsy?

Is there any chance you can resize this one to 100x100 pixels (or at least neither dimension larger than 100)? I've got some God-Haters on JREF forums I want to poke in the eye.

Haha! Here's a resized one courtesy of the Gimp:

While I agree that God and science go hand in hand, and that the two-fish thing is pretty funny, make certain your motives are clear in displaying these decals. Let's not be unloving or "dissing" anybody.

His,

Thank you sir. I'll post to the Kafetaria any comments I get.

Jive, I'm an atheist who doesn't like the attitude of many of my co-non-religionists. Using Evolvichtheos will be a tweek of their indignant noses more than a confrontation... though I'm hoping some of them do get up in arms.

I have a friend who had them like that

She put a little heart above them, even.

Go for it!

Wow, that's pretty special. I'd be afraid to do that here. My car would probably be keyed in a day.

I would love to put both a Jesus Fish and a Darwin Fish on my car....but my wife would kill me.

Of course, I'd also like to throw a Cthulhu fish on there as well....
