When St. Columba came to Scotland (from Ireland) in 500AD
the people had little or no civilization and were steeped
in pagan animism, barbarism, and superstition. St. Columba
brought Christianity (10 Commandments, Golden Rule, etc.)
and did something the Romans could not do militarily; that
is civilize Scotland from their "spear chucking" past. Of
course it took hundreds of years to spread throughout all
of Scotland and found much resistance. Notably, the Picts
(the original inhabitants of Scotland) were named such
because of the Tatoos all over their body. It is
very interesting that as Europe (and Scotland) reject
Christianity and turn to neo-paganism that they are going
back to what they were spiritually and physically many
years ago in the past!

Yes, the disgusting splashing of tattoos on bodies continues to amaze me. I have nothing against one or two hidden away. What astounds me is the shoulder tattoos on women, some aggressively encroaching on delicate areas and on full display.

(American is a great country: 20 million illegals can't be wrong. So build that wall, Mr. Bush.)
