Can you be more specific. Can you define what you mean by 'the world' like do you mean from the creation of the Earth, or the evolution of life, or are you referring to the cultural and sociological tribes and cultures, say going back to the beginning of agriculture?

And who is the intolerant one today? The man who puts the Christian fish symbol on his car or the man who puts a fish symbol on his car with legs and teeth eating the Christian fish symbol?

Who else is intolerant today? The one who for no particular reason post a video attacking faith?

The often repeated phrase that more people have died in wars started in the name of God is mind-numbing stupidity so kudos for correctly adding politics into the mix since as far as I can tell, its the only readon wars are started. Even the ones attributed to religion are really power and land grabs by flawed men in power using their god as an excuse.

If your post was a commentary on the intolerance of starting this thread to begin with, I agree with you. If this is your response to PG offering a defense rather than just staying still like the Christian fish being eaten, then I'd suggest you take your own advice and ask yourself why you decided it was necessary to pile on and add to the intolerance level.

oh please  Eegore.....  To suggest the fish eating emblem is not a display of intolerance is patently ridiculous. Of course it is. Tolerance would be to display nothing. The fish eating emblem is a statement to the other guy "you're stupid, unscientific and I'm not. I'm better than you"
The Christian fish symbol by itself is like wearing you favorite team's jersey.

Yep - like I said, Eegore is indeed the voice of reason (for most of us anyway)!

Eegore, sorry to say this but you're either incredibly obtuse (which I don't believe) or trying so hard to maintain an impression of some kind of wise, unbiased sage you're turning a blind eye to the obvious.

If you saw the Christan symbol representing Calvary's hill with three crosses cleary placed over the top of the Islamic moon and star symbol, are you telling me you wouldn't see this as what it was meant to convey which is Christianity's superiority over Islam? Everyone would understand what the person who did that was intending. Same as someone who puts the fish with legs and teeth eating the simple Christian fish.

So you can honestly say a symbol of Calvary's hill over the Islamic symbol would mean nothing to you? Both carry the same meaning, which os my belief system is superior to yours. I'll concede the fish eating the other has an element of humor but the ultimate message is the same.
