Things like what Harry posted floors me. Yeah I think it's nuts. That's probably why I've avoided political all these years.

I don't have a bible in front of me, but wasn't the quote "render Caesar's things unto Caesar, and let the homos have a baby imo"?

I'll have to go back to the original Greek to see if that's right. I didn't think they used imo in conversation back in those days.

Then member's of the organization would have the option available them to have the tattoo.
