@Psycho Tits
Agreed 100%!
The Prince of Peace is a Fish-guy!
More about this amazing symbol....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys
....and perhaps providing clues as to what the heck the OP is yammering about.
It's also based on the "Yoni" symbol....A VULVA! Thus; The Fish acknowledges the Divine Feminine.
I think I see why the OP hates it.
It's Christian, Pagan, Gender-Equal, Feminine, Jesus as a peaceful fisherman rather than Sky-Stalin, etc.
It's UNIVERSAL....As true Christianity SHOULD be!
Although I find using Messianic Judaism as a means for Barabbans to convert Jews from Judaism a rather sneaky and questionable thing, I have no problem with the general concept of Messianic Judaism. In fact; Christianity originally WAS a type of Messianic Judaism!....

....As far as symbols go; I think the Messianics have the right idea. Christianity is Judaism 2.0 and shouldn't be some Anti-Jewish slop. Even if one sees the Hebrew Testament as "Old News" or "Demiurgic" or "Just For Jews", one should still embrace the Jewishness.
JESUS OF NAZARETH - The New Moses.
JOHN THE BAPTIST - The New Elijah.
THE TWELVE APOSTLES - THE NEW TWELVE TRIBE/PATRIARCHS.
My theory is is that Yeshua Bar Yosef saw how his faith had been messed with over the centuries and decided to recreate the whole shebang from scratch....removing the Demiurgic stuff and perhaps reinterpreting the Tanakh in a fresh, new way....even saying some rules are no longer in effect or being followed wrong. He came to renew Judaism. It was Constantine and those afterwards who decided to turn it into a completely separate, non-Jewish religion.
All that genocide stuff in the Tanakh is likely not meant to be taken literally. There's no archeological evidence and it turns out the Hebrews and Canaanites are one and the same. They simply smushed their whole Pantheon into one Deity and then MANDATED THAT UPON THE POPULACE!
Remember; The Tanakh was written after the Babylonian exile. Who knows what the Hebrew scriptures originally said, beforehand? Most of the original Hebrew leaders had died out beforehand and they pretty much had to start Judaism all over again and try to work from memory.
After feeling demoralized as a conquered people, it was important for them to conjurer up a national history that may have been greatly embellished. Turning "We Canaanites were inspired by Akhenaten's Egyptian Aten worship and decided to do the same with our Pantheon" became, "We were slaves in Polytheistic Egypt, escaped, then conquered Polytheistic Canaan!".
My theory; Anyway.
