TATTOOS: God isn't a big fan

| July 17, 2015 9:00 PM

It makes me ill to see the number of people, young and old, sporting tattoos and body piercings on their bodies. I feel there should be a law requiring every tattoo parlor and body piercing establishment to post the following sign on their front door as follows: 1 Corinthians 3: 16 & 17: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

Every time I see people with these defiling marks and scars I imagine a sign hanging around their neck stating, “I’m stupid, have very little good judgment and have a severe lack of common sense.” All qualities most employers seek when interviewing applicants for employment.

It is sad to see the lowly state of mankind in our world today and their total lack of knowledge and guidance supplied for them by their maker.
