Of course the person had the right to brag that she was against some religions, specifically Christians. In doing so she should not be surprised there are consequences when you insult a person's religion. The fish in the original artist representation has a serious meaning to many Christians and is displayed on cars, etc. To mock it's meaning is an act which of course offends many practicing Christians. Do I agree the actions taken by a couple of persons who objected was appropriate of course not. Do I think the person who did this knew he/she were going to offend many people. Of course I do. The real shame in my opinion was the person purposely insulting many who believe in the biblical story of the fish and for what purpose were he/she doing that.?

As I understand, or perhaps misunderstand, your posting...Where do you get the idea that the sticker is bragging about being against Christians? You're suggesting expressing an opinion that science should be taught in the schools without teaching a faith based story that contradicts the established science is a slap at Christians and they should feel offended. I don't want religion taught in a science class.. which is the entire point of the sticker. But apparently "many practicing Christians" are offended by that, who knew? To those of you who have crosses around your necks and in your yards proclaiming your belief, should non-Christians be offended and feel that their faith or non-faith is being mocked or ridiculed? Your post is excusing their behavior.. you are trying to explain it away by saying their fish story was being attacked and that was just too much although they went too far in their expression of righteous outrage. Apparently you should expect consequences if someone feels their faith is being attacked by the infidels. And your take home is that the shame in this event is not that two men accosted Mrs Blueash in defense of their perversion of Christianity, but that Mrs Blueash should have expected to be exposed to the consequences of her act.
There is a term "Christian Taliban" Those two men whether they know it are not, are acting in concert with the Christian Taliban. Defending the faith against fish feet.
