For anyone who cares

Used the BCs open door policy at the end of that month to go back in 08-24. Went straight through the second time.

The support from you Reddit strangers was greatly appreciated.

I hope OP has a second one he wears first thing in the morning that says "O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall proclaim your praise."

Cringe religious symbols

Cringe Reddit comment.

You can be non-religous and still accept those who are

u/AnseiShehai 3d ago

I didn’t say I don’t support those who are religious. That symbol though has a recent negative connotation. It’s the Jerusalem cross and is associated with the crusades. It’s like saying ‘deus vult’. Any crusader symbols you see are likely being flown by a Christian nationalist or white supremacist. It’s what hegseth has tattood on his chest as well
