Also, have you ever seen the trinity symbol commonly found on the spines of various theological books? Take one part of that and you have the fish.
That symbol was adopted by early religious groups as representing their belief, but its roots are pagan.

NI,

I trust you don't use a calendar or acknowledge the days of the week since they most certainly have pagan origins.

If you refuse to associate or use anything that at some point in time as been used by pagans you are just conceding those things to them. Why not just claim them for Lord?

Do you have specific, verified documentation that the fish symbol is evil? You yourself conceded that for hundreds, possibly over a thousand years, it has been a symbol meaning Christian. Does the fact that at some points pagans may have used a similar symbol for something negate all of that history?

You are truly swallowing a gnat.
