christian fish jewellery

I have seen fish Christian jewellery, but I do not understand why. I always thought of Jesus being symbolised as a lamb. Can you please shed some light?

at one time Christians would face death if they were discovered to be a christian......so if one person walked up to another, not knowing if he/she was a fellow christian, one would draw a curved line in the sand, (
If the other person was a Christian, they would respond by doing the same, )

The 2 lines would cross and form the fish symbol....ultimately leaving the sign of the fish....both would then understand they were safe.

I mean if Jesus would have died 30 years ago everyone would be wearing electric chair jewelry. Creepy. I understand what it symbolizes but why not a tomb? And why not the fish? Why are these symbols only used in certain areas and not others?

lol I guess the horizontal symbols go better with vehicles. Which leaves the vertical symbols for jewelry. Hell, I don't know. lmao

I am 16 and I am a sophomore in high school. I go to a small private Christian school and have been in private Christian schooling since my second 6th grade year. (I had to repeat 6th grade because my elementary school never knew how to teach me because of Dyslexia and now I am doing great getting almost all A's and B's for the most part. I have an A or B in every class but English I believe which I have a C in because it's hard)

I kind of am very scared of meeting people who I have never met before....meeting people who hurt me more than people in my private schools have or elementary school kids have. I am scared of going to college which other than that I am very excited to go to because I want to become a nurse. I am scared to meet mean kids or kids who shove God down the toilet and insult me because of what I believe. (I am the only one in my family other than my grandma who believes in God, my brother is the kind who insults me because of what I believe)

I am scared that I am not mature enough. I don't have communication skills outside of the computer or writing. I am not interested in sex, boys, marriage, or anything. I'm not interested in dating, dancing, proms, non-Christian bands, jewelry, or anything. I am interested in things like spin tops, trampolines, jump ropes, balls, pets, animals, playing with little kids, helping others, stuffed animals, and colorful things. I still like disney princesses and have them on my wall as well as I have those fuzzy boards that you color. I have kitten toys all over my room and two fish tanks.

I don't know what the outside world is like. I kind of try to avoid it? I am going to apply for another job monday at albersons or walmart since I didn't get my job at target...maybe I'll get more experience there. I have my license so I am able to go places but the only places that interests me is Petco, petsmart, and the occasional target.

Am I missing out on a lot of things? What is it going to be like for me when I have to "enter the real world"?
I have lived in England (almost 3 years) , Washington (1/2 a year) , California (10 years) , and now NM (2 or 3 years?) . I've moved several times.
I've lived with a mom who abused me since I was 8, but not physical.
I go to youth group mondays but only a few kids and I get shy there.
I have been to counseling. I used to be terrified of people but now I can talk to people and meet people--if I have to, of course.

I don't even know what I am missing...what am I missing?

I occasionally get in conversations with people while at the pet store or other places. I got in a conversation while at petco with Habika, one of my kittens...trying to get her to pick out her own toy by playing with her with different toys....but she destroyed the cat toy isle and almost broke an aquarium. Everyone was wanting to hold her...the people who work there were even wanting to carry Habika around. >.<

I like unforced conversations. I had a volunteer job when I was 13-14 at a nursing home and got quite a lot of experience there getting told off by people and getting asked random questions and taking care of all of them (changing, playing, etc.)
Ran out of room.
At the nursing home I setted up tables, helped people get dressed, helped people get from one place to another, helped the more able people to get out of bed, helped in the activity center and had to run the activity center on my own a lot with a lady who worked there who made me do everything most of the time. I had to sit through hour conversations with older people or go to my "boss" for things. Is that a lot of experience?

I also did volunteer one year helping make sandwhiches and food to give to the homeless.

If you want to be a nurse, you are going to have to learn how to deal with people with different attitudes. Not all of those attitudes are going to be grateful and appreciative. A lot of people can be difficult, rude and abusive. But in order for you to successfully deal with these people, you need practice. At your age, turning yourself into a cloistered nun will not help you deal with the real world. Take small steps into the real world if you have to, as long as you use your wits and wisdom, you will be ok.

Whilst the Pagan cross ( Egyptian Ankh ) and the Jewish fish symbol have been hijacked by Christianity, it appears the IPU , ( Invisible Pink Unicorn ), the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Bertram Russell’s celestial Tea-Pot have become identified with Atheism.

I am looking for an Icon , a symbol , that represents Atheism , not a negation of other belief systems – although other atheist icons will be of interest .

What I am getting at is ... should all atheists carry a Green balloon ? or make their Females only wear only Green Jewellery or always arrive for work 10 minutes late ?

I don’t mind buying a bagel from a Jewish Bakery or buying Fruit from a Muslim at midday. I don’t even mind marrying a Christian.

However , what symbol can I Put in my shop window / Wear on my Lapel ... Put on my pre-printed stationary ... that all Theistic believers will Understand and Know.

I hate to offend or upset anyone. If someone is going to buy a Battery for their watch from me .. I do not want them to offend their God ... they just need to be a hypocrite or an Atheist .
Stephen --- The Fish symbol with Darwin inside it is Good ( I like it ) , but is a Negation .

Namrettik --- The Atom symbol might work with more publicity A= atom , A = Atheism.

Movie --- I am not after a Gimmick , I just want just to Raise the Awareness of Atheism and not allow others to offend their God(s) / Goddess(es) / Juju / Yahweh / Allah / Jah / 真主 / 基督教 etc etc , there appear to be over 300 or 3000 of these peculiar ( peculiar to me ) Beliefs and I offend them all !

Demitri – I accept Visa , I accept Mastercard , I accept Christians and Muslims , However the latter 2 should be aware they do not accept me and my Goods for sale.

Pull My finger is my best answer so far ! Luckily there are still 3 days left to find a better answer !

Try a peace sign.

You are going to say i'm judging others right? but i'm just giving an example.

This one girl in my class who claims to be Christian wear short shorts and like tank tops and like golden jewelry and stuff to class. and i was like thinking about one verse:
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments

And she even has a tattoo that says faith on her body. but ugh aren't are bodies temples of the holy spirit? why would she defile it like that. i was thinking.

i mean i don't even wear crosses or have little fish logos on my car. okay to me i think that is like symbols and idols. i won't have those idols. plus i don't need those to prove to the world i'm Christian.

i just think people are more secular. isn't it world to try to fit God into your life, when it's suppose to be the main part of your life? i don't think you are suppose to just do what you want.
i'm just giving an example. can i not notice things? am i suppose to be some blind idiot who doesn't see sin? i am a sinner myself. God gave me eyes i see it. i'm just wondering if i'm alone in seeing how secular and worldy. yeah i kind of feel worldy too but i try to be less wordly. isn't that good?

Well lets put it this way. When I walked into a local evangelical church the other day to look at the architechture of the building, I was greeted by a young man who was happy to show me around. Took me through the main hall, the youth area, the small childrens area, the study rooms and ended up at the coffee bar which was next to the studies materials book store and trinkets etc. On the shelves of books I only found one, one mind you, Bible study book. The rest was get rich quick books, expericences with wealth building (money) and books by the pastor of the church.

Yes I would say they are very worldly and secular.
