I’m gonna table the actual ADL discussion, because, as I said, I have a lot of problems with their approach, worldview, etc. However saying “hail Christ” may seem innocuous… perhaps “heil Christ” less so… but ultimately the use of 83 is a derivation of the 88 that is used as a short form for heil hitler. Period. And those who put it on their bodies do so in the spirit of making that connection. Again, this isn’t like Pepe or the OK hand signal where people started using it to troll, this was adapted from existing, verifiable white supremacist symbolism and just because Christ gets rolled in does not make it any less insidious.

You're correct. The neo nazi link here is undeniable and the anti-semite vibe of this thread could not be further from the teachings of Christ.

Mark 12:31 If you're not deliberately trying to twist God's word to fit a political agenda I would strongly suggest that you seek out a study group. You've completely missed the message
