Pagan symbols however still retain their meaning. Maybe that should have been clarified in my original post.

That seems very selective. Christians adopted pagan holidays, they no longer retain the original meaning and so it is ok.
Christians adopted pagan symbols and yet you claim they STILL retain the original meaning and therefore not ok.
Is a cross pagan? Does it retain the original meaning or do Christians see it another way? Same with the fish....do Christians use the fish symbol according to it's pagan meaning or did they change that?
