If you're a Christian (as I am) this is a fine emblem. Otherwise, trash it. I wouldn't put it onto my 928. But you have to remember that it is all about YOUR car and YOUR choices, so if you like it (and you do) you should instal and enjoy it.

I think it's a cool idea but I'd probably put it on my minivan if I were to put it on anything. Sort of like a, 'My other car is a shark' kind of thing.

It's on my truck too. What I think I am going to do is make one out of aluminum but putting a real shark tail on it. I don't care for the jesus fish look myself.

I agree. Personally I won't put anything on the car that I don't have to (emissions/inspection stickers, etc), but it's an entertaining way of expressing your religious and automotive preferences simultaneously. Rock it out if you're happy with it.

If I saw that shark emblem on a car I would assume it was an anti-Christian symbol. Sort of like the fish emblem with feet and "DARWIN" in the middle.

I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little rabbit, isn't it?

After all, the shark(fish) is a bit of a living dinosaur...

Yes and you need to be careful stirring up the faithful... the fundamentalists might just torch your car...

...Or at least liberate your shark emblem

I don't think people who put the Darwin fish on their vehicles are anti-Christian at all. I think they are pro evolution. Very different. Most people claim to be both pro religious and pro evolution. Funny, I heard a Muslim friend say the Darwin Fish is anti Muslim. At least there is agreement between some Christians and Muslims, though not accurate, on that point.

I don't put things on my vehicles that espouse political/religous points of view. I also don't adorn the exterior of my cars with bumper stickers/faux bullet holes or license plate frames that state "My other car is a...."
