I had some "Bible-Christian" moron try to tell me that wearing a small cross/crucifix was a form of witchcraft. Seriously. You can see it for yourself here, post #45. Another reason I am putting Josiah on ignore is that he is illiterate. He interprets "we are called this, this and this..." to "I...
