@Man on FireThe Apostles and men like Saint Patrick were Counter Cultural. They went into a foreign land and worked to spread the Gospel. Over the process of that, they changed the culture of the nations.
In 1960, someone may say that there was Christian Culture in the US. Americans had prayer in school, and they were brought up singing Christmas songs and celebrating Easter. The Counter Culture of the 1960's was a rebellion. It was a rebellion of wives from husbands. Children from parents. Men from God to other spiritualism and gurus. The Counter Culture was influenced by Marx and Crowley. The Counter Culture was known for a sexual revolution and debauchery. In the 1970's, the Counter Culture running counter to God and Christianity, was mainstreamed. It became part of mainstream culture. Has that been what someone was participating in?
In the 1960's, only Sailors had tattoos? Sailors known for going shore to shore and joining themselves with prostitutes. Is there something spiritual to that in retrospect?
My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse, and mine also; and I'm sure other conversations have arisen as a result of her willingness to be injected with ink in this design.
(So her ink was frankly nothing to do with prostitution.)
