“-——nothing says devout Christian like a nose ring-——
A little harsh....”
I don’t think so.
“Lots of very devout young people do get caught up in their generations fashion statements....”
Not really an excuse or good reason.
“My nephew, a serious christian got a tattoo on his arm as a statement of his faith....when he became saved...”
Makes no sense. Kind of like going out and committing sodomy to celebrate getting saved.
Some people are mixed up and this writer in Slate seems to be one.
It doesn't make sense to me either, but I'm not in my mid twenties...tattoos are no longer a cultural taboo, they are statements of who you are...
I don't necessarily agree with that idea, but it is what it is to today's generation ...
Kind of like going out and committing sodomy to celebrate getting saved.
Seriously ? LOL...a tad over the top...
Sorta like the same people who think a nose ring equals Christianity and morality?
