I have always thought that choosing the cross as the universal symbol of Christianity is the most twisted and sad thing in the world.

That is why I prefer the Ichthys. It represents Jesus’s high point, when he performed a miracle for the all the people. For me, it’s better to remember people at their best than at their worst.

Referenced by my favorite Philip K Dick novel VALIS, the symbol of early Christianity: Fish cannot carry guns.

  The Vast Active Living Intelligent System… I read that 30 years ago as a teenager and didn’t really understand it then. He really hated Nixon though, even as a kid I could discern that much!

Oh, I always thought it was because he’s a fisher of men.

  It also means that! The fish and the loaves, the fisher of men, the fish that Jesus ate after his resurrection. It is a symbol with a very broad meaning.
