Mayhem.

                                         

When the young son of a member of our congregation arrived in church wearing a t-shirt sporting an image of the skull and cross bones with the word Mayhem above it I felt obliged to say something.

When I said to the father that the image and words were Satanic, probably from a rock band, he said he didn't know anything about that.

So was the boy just trying to look tough?

Fashion?

Are people doing these thing without knowing what it is?

It would seem so.

"'Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.'"  Luke 23:34 (NRSV)
