Cool somewhat related fact:
The word for "fish" in Greek (ichthyus) is an acronym for "Jesus Christ Son of God" in Greek(I think it's iota, chi, theta, upsilon, sigma??). Something I learned in 4th grade confirmation class. Hence the fish being a symbol of Christianity (not to mention the "fisher of men" and the feeding of the 5000)

Wow...they let you get confirmed at 4th grade? Isn't that a little too young?

I should kick anyone's car with my 3 lb. Sketcher boots who has the Darwin symbol on the back of their car.

At least where I am... confirmation is being moved down the age of first communion (in the Catholic church)... I have a few Catholic-school teacher friends who explained the reasoning to me, but I still don't get it.
As to Xmas: My grandma told me it was a cross-mas but since we can't type a cross, they put and X. I"m soooo calling her on that. :P

I've seen the opposite - the darwin fish eating the Jesus fish. I dislike them both. There's no reason to trash anothers beliefs on your bumper.

I remember I was out on a 3rd or 4th date with a guy and I saw one in a car and asked what it meant. He asked "Didn't you learn that in CCD (or some sort of class)?" and I replied "No, I'm Agnostic"
He didn't call after that...

I learned it from the third Indiana Jones movie. So don't feel bad.

I C Q U S
IesuV CristoV QeoV UioV Soter (Iesus Christos Theos Uios Soter) - Jesus Christ, Son of Man, the Savio[u]r. The initials of the Greek acronym means 'fish' - ICQUS (ichthus).
When I last visited OU a few years ago, a Bible study group composed of Greeks met under the name 'Ichthus'.

Doesn't bother me if Christmas is abbreviated Xmas. What bothers me is the crass commercialism that has subverted the meaning of one of the holiest of holidays to many Christians.
Hell, I don't even bother putting up a Christmas tree, and I quit believing in Santa Claus many years ago once the novelty wore off and I found out my parents were the ones who put the gifts under the tree.
