Anti- FishMagnet
Why would you put the Christian fish on the back of your car? Seriously, what is your reason. I am against it in pretty much all forms. Here’s why:
The Cons:
1) NO ONE drives good enough to represent Christ
2) When you by chance slip up and drive poorly, it’s mainly noticed by people behind you (where the fish is); when you are a considerate driver, thinking of others before yourself, it’s mainly noticed by people who are now in front you of (where the fish ain’t). So either have the fish over your front light beams, or not at all.
3) It doesn’t send a message. It is merely a label that could mean one of twenty different things to the onlooker. If it doesn’t send a message, what’s the point? (Although the Christian “Truth” fish that eats the “Darwin” fish does send a message)
4) It doesn’t mean the person follows Jesus. Think about this: if you were a con-artist or a dishonest business owner....wouldn’t you put a fish on your car to better deceive people?
5) Your car is now harder to sell with a fish logo forever branded on your car (even if you remove the magnet, the coloration is different due to the sun)
The Pros:
1) It can encourage other Christians. I’m sure some Christians will see that fish and be like “Hey, there’s another brother/sister in Christ....maybe.”
2) I can’t think of any more. But the pros definitely do not outweigh the damage done by the cons.

I can think of one more positive related to the one listed. If you see a girl riding down the road in a car with the fish, and she happens to have her windows down, and yall happen to stop at a stop light/sign next to each other, it could be confirmation that she is a "righteous fox," and you can "holla" in her direction and go "fish" for digits. That's the best I can do. However, she could always be a rebel with her parents car. If she says "yes" to the date invite on the road, she probably is. I have nothing further and yes,, this is coming from a single man. That is all.
