It's amazing that people get so offended when a Christian shows even the smallest display of his faith.

  It's equally amazing the amount of anger Christians exhibit when an atheist attempts even the smallest display of their beliefs, or lack thereof.
  
  Don't believe me? Try putting a Darwin fish emblem on your car, and see how long it lasts before it gets pried off, your car gets keyed, and/or your tires get slashed.

    Is the Darwin fish a symbol of atheist belief, or a mockery of Christian belief?
    
    I would have to say that it's the latter. The similarity to the Christian symbol is unmistakable and deliberate. Though I take no offense to it, I can see why it would be viewed as offensive by many (and INTENDED as offensive by many also).
    
    If the atheists had their own symbol which was not an offensive mockery, it might be less susceptible to vandalism.

      "s the Darwin fish a symbol of atheist belief, or a mockery of Christian belief?"
      
      It's a mockery of Christian belief perpetrated in direct response to Christians putting a fish on their car.
      
      It can't be a symbol of atheist belief because there are plenty of people who are Christians (and Catholics) who believe in Darwin's theory. Darwins theory of evolution in no way discredits Christian beliefs, unless you are a Bible literalist, and if you're a Bible literalist you have a lot more sticky problems to resolve other than the creationist crapola.
      
      "If the atheists had their own symbol which was not an offensive mockery, it might be less susceptible to vandalism."
      
      Sorry. You lost me there. Vandalism indicates a lack of basic morality and the lack of an ethical framework. If someone mocks you, it doesn't justify (ESPECIALLY as a 'Christian') your lack of morals or ethics.
      
      "It's equally amazing the amount of anger Christians exhibit when an atheist attempts even the smallest display of their beliefs, or lack thereof."
      
      Often Atheists mock Christians, speak as though they're idiots or uneducated and assume that they cannot believe in science simultaneously with religion. That's often what they're angry about -- not the display of atheists beliefs.
