Like the One Ring, or those damned doubloons in the first Pirates of the Caribbean flick, "it calls to us".... can I not to node here? Bury the thought!! For I am the Pandeism Fish, and I am that I am.

So one of the E2-Gods told me:

"After a re-reading of My Creation of Pandeism Fish it is apparent that you and Glowing Fish are the same person. E2 policy on multiple accounts is such that C!ing of stuff written by alt-accounts is forbidden, hence the withdrawal of the C! privilege. For now I'm inclined to have the ban stand, and (another E2-God) concurs. If you have anything to add, obviously (other E2-God) and I would be delighted to hear your side."


I found this to be unfortunate -- I had never claimed anywhere to be the same person as this Glowing Fish character, and surely the other write-up in this node could not be read against me -- after all, being based on something that Glowing Fish wrote. If he thinks I'm some alternate personality of his (based on the mere happenstance of my stalking him pretty much like you'd expect your alternate personality to stalk you), then he's just delusional!!

But to be fair, first off I did get my C!'s back, eventually, and secondly, I did torment poor Glowing Fish by playing along with his theory, and third of all, I am undoubtedly the creator of the Pandeism Fish -- and what is the Pandeism Fish, after all?

It is in a way an updated take on the icthys, the "Jesus fish." Well, some people use a symbol of a fish to symbolise Jesus -- why? Because there's a passage somewhere in the Bible where Jesus does something with fish. He wasn't a fisherman, and there's no real connection to fish more than that, so it would be just as reasonable to use a symbol of a wine glass or a broken bread loaf or an oiled-up foot massage.

I am told, now, that: "The fish was an early symbol for Christianity because if you take the first letters of "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour" in Greek, you get "fish" in Greek" -- so, a clever word game, but like extractable Bible codes, a countless number of those must be available!!

But the Pandeism Fish is a "fish" symbolising Pandeism -- it has genuine symbolism unique to the faith for which it stands. The "tail" of the fish is but an ever-so concave triangle of golden light, roughly at a right angle but tilted so that right-angle forms an arrow point, representing the energy of our Creator passing into that triangle point. The "body" of the fish is that famed light-blueimage of the cosmic background radiation, left over from the Big Bang, and so symbolising the transition of our Creator in becoming our Universe itself in that stupendous, most momentous of moments!!

And to be completely forthright, the design came upon me while standing in one of the more modest art galleries of San Francisco, staring at a painting meant to represent a double-barreled view of an oscillating Universe at an angle askance.

So that is what the Pandeism Fish is, and really is all that it is, and I will put it on the record as well that I am not, and never have been, rumble fish, Albert Fish, Erik Fish, Percolator Fish, or Stanley Fish.... as for I Have Zero Fish, I just don't see how that could even make sense. And fish slapping maniac had better just stay the hell away from me. And the rest of Fishville. I'm laying down the law, here, after all.
