    My mother (religious) once told me my tattoos make her sad. There are only two that are visible on a forearm (the third is under my shirt). I told her that they make me feel happy. She’s never brought it up again. But hers is less fervent, still rooted in the same origin.

      I’m guessing that’s because the Bible says no tattoos in the same book where it says not to eat pork and shellfish, but Christians only believe the passages in the Pentateuch if they’re okay with them.

      Bible says no pork, pork is ok.

      Bible says not to be gay in the exact same book, being gay is an abomination unto the lord.

        What it actually says is not to lay with a man as you would with a woman. It’s not about being gay, it’s about topping!
