That is a fashion statement where i live, extremely common Yes, I know, but I live in the Bible Belt of the U.S. Not quite on the buckle, but - add to it that I live in a VERY small town, and you get the picture. But, if treated casually enough, things pass. Where I live, both at my work place and at Masters, staff meetings start with a Bible verse, a prayer, and a biblical reflection ( a sermon). At a public event attended by the whole community to raise money and awareness for cancer, many public groups dressed up a float, dressed in a theme and marched in a parade. Churches, buisnesses, ect. The publicly funded hospital's in town had as their float theme, 'The Ten Comandments of Moses'. Okay. But, most people do not pry, and unless you get in someone's face, they generally do not get in yours. Lots of children ask me about my locking necklace, and I answer with causuallness - the only adults that have EVER asked have been police officers. And I answer with the same casual strait face. Since it really is none of their buisness, and it really is not pushing the lifestyle in their face anymore than a person wearing a cross or a pentagram is pushing their religion in your face, why should I feel compelled to answer more? in fact, answering more would, IMO, qualify as pushing in peoples face - but just wearing it, and living my life, does not, at least not to me.
