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.

Actually, the meaning has never changed. It still represents pagan belief. If this is a "gnat", then I don't want it.
Further, it is IMO a catholic myth that early christians used this symbol as a sign. At that time, it was well known to represent paganism for paganism was more prevelent then than now, though it is on the rise again.
I find it difficult to believe that one God christians would use a polytheistic symbol to represent themselves one towards another.
Having studied various cults in great deal, I can see how history has possibly been bent to permit the current dogma to be considered christian.
