What are your thoughts on the meaning and symbolism of the unicorn in present times? There seem to be some current stereotypes. The unicorn has been a symbol of Christ, purity and chastity in different times, just curious how it is may be perceived now and why you think it is perceived that way.
The Bible mentions unicorns, this is an honest and important question for me.

The word unicorn as used in the Bible-- specifically the KJV refers to a one horned rhinoceros. If youre asking what special meaning we get from that? I know of none.
I am not aware of any 'new' meaning applied to a unicorn. However, today's visual portrait of the unicorn as a horse with a horn is quite inaccurate.
It is an elusive magical beast that cannot be tamed, but is attracted to those who are 'pure'.
It has the head of a goat, the body of a deer and the tail of a lion.

Who said anything about any "new" meaning? There are stereotypes about certain things, what people assume things are. Lots of assumers on these boards.
Please read questions carefully before trying to answer logically. I think it is a great question with meaning. Not seeing very many good questions or interesting topics.

Owl answered your question, no reason to be so ugly
Perhaps you should start the discussion by telling us what meaning unicorns hold for you?
Talk about assumptions.
Perhaps you may want to rephrase your question
"What are your thoughts on the meaning and symbolism of the unicorn in present times?"
'Present times' implies a different a.k.a 'new' meaning.

Well...the invisible, pink ones (IPU) are presently an Atheist mascot....you will finds hundreds of mentions of them on this board by the Atheists. Just do a search...you'll see.
They are also pets of the minor Atheist Deity, The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM)...and the primary Atheist Deity "NOGODAH".
Actually...I have often suggested to the Atheists to just adopt the IPU as a Deity. At least that will get them "in the game" and help them to "fit in" better.
I always thought that a unicorn was the perfect symbol for the whimsical imagination of a 13 year-old girl.
Or the symbol of the ancient Finnish forest goddess Mielikki.
But most of all, it is a symbol for all of those fantastic claims that rational people know don't exist. The phrase "chasing unicorns" or "hunting unicorns" was once a metaphorical or pejorative description of a task or dream that is a waste of time.
I doubt if there is any single symbolic meaning of Unicorns. There seems to be a wide variety ranging from no significance to a wide variety depending on many diverse factors.

"Hey Man, like look at the hood ornament on that classy pony."
