In the wake of scandal and hypocrisy surrounding clergy members lately, such as the 30-something-year-old youth minister who got nabbed for having sex with a 15-year-old member of his flock, and the anti-Facebook preaching pastor who-- whoopsie!-- we found out has had three- and foursomes in the past, it occurs to me that I, too, have a skeleton in my closet. The kind of skeleton that if found out years and years from now might actually have an effect on my integrity.
I think the only way to fight this is to confront it head on. After all, monsters live in the dark, as they say. I believe that being up-front about this will go a long way in preventing a possible scandal (or at least head-shaking and eye-rolling) further on down the line. Here it is.
I, the admin and founder of the Central Maine Atheist Alliance, have a tattoo.
Wait, it gets worse.
It's of a religious symbol.
