The Jesus Fish (too far)?

Let's start with a passage from the "good book":

One fish... Two fish... Red fish... Blue fish (Suess)

I was given a darwin fish for Christmas (how ironic) a couple of years back and I never got around to fixing it to the trunk of my car. Mine is the original! Simplistic in design. Traditional fish with legs. No words.

Now there are a myriad of spin-offs:
DARWIN
SUSHI
N' CHIPS
ANGEL
DEVIL
etc

You can see more here http://www.prankplace.com/darwinfish.htm

Even Christian groups have produced several retorts, showing a Jesus fish eating a Darwin fish, or the dead Darwin fish with the x'ed out eye.

The other day I spotted a new one... A Darwin fish, mounting a Jesus fish from behind.... Too far? You be the judge.

My reasoning for wanting one was simple. I am an atheist, and yet, am very interested in serious religious conversation. I have an open mind, and am always looking for intelligent and engaging conversation. I figured by displaying a Darwin fish, I could elicit such conversation from others. Also, I want to portray that both beliefs can co-exist. I have no issue with Christianity. In fact, I fully support those who have the ever illusive faith. Oh... I also think it's funny as hell!!

Suess? Who's Suess? Perhaps you mean Dr. Seuss?
