I Guess the Beard is OK, but the Pointy Hat?

From an (edited) email from Mom:

Sammy asked Quin what he had on his leg. It was a tattoo of a wizard - long flowing beard, robe with stars, hands outstretched. He's now attending the Church of God and feels that it is blasphemous to have this wizard on his leg. He said he has asked for forgiveness and has been forgiven. Then he said he thought he'd have a little more work done on the tattoo and turn it into Jesus. :) Couldn't have made up a better line!! He said his minister told him that the tattoo just enables him to be a witness to a different kind of people. See, aren't you sorry you missed the reunion?!

I long for the day when the religious and magic communities can embrace one another, put their bickerings aside, and live in peace with each other’s symbology of bearded men.

Out of curiousity, is the last paragraph your commentary or Mom's?

The last paragraph is my commentary. And the "edited" just means that the names were changed.
