My Ford Ranger is ashamed of his faith, evidently. He does not even sport an ichthys.
Known colloquially, and perhaps blasphemously, as the "Jesus Fish", these wonderful decals will make even the most hardened road-raged heathens fall to his knees in repentance. When you affix one of these emblems on the back of your motorized transport, there's no need for a "Follow me to Sunday School" sticker, or a "Honk if you love Jesus" window sign. Heck, you won't even need the praying Calvin decal. The ichthys does it all, and sinners respect that.
I hope I'm not giving anything away, but when someone has a fish decal on his Hyndai, it means he is a Christian. Now, back in the day when "being a Christian" was against the law, Christians used the fish to identify themselves on the missed connections section of Craigs List. Since it is no longer illegal to get saved in a number of countries, the fish has been relegated to tailgates and boot lids, though it means the same thing.
So what should you expect from the GMC Sierra ahead of you that has the ichthys affixed to the rear entry? You should expect him to always signal, to never exceed the speed limit, and to always come to a full and complete stop at each stop sign. All of this is in accordance to Romans 13 where the beloved St. Paul advises all Christians to obey the laws of the land.
In the same vein, the owner of the vehicle with the chrome cod will not listen to pirated music, leave income off his taxes, .or "borrow" cable from his neighbor.
You might also expect this driver to give to needy pan handlers, assist orphans and widows, and in general treat others they way he wants to be treated.
Are you kidding? It's no wonder I don't have the fish on my truck. People might actually expect me to act like a Christian if I call myself one!
