Zone1 What do the World Religions teach about Tattoos?

[Mortimer]

I dont have any tattoos but many do, and i dont really consider it "evil" only if it is a satanic symbol then it could be kinda like dedicating your body to the devil, but you could also have the head of jesus on your back or a cross on your forearm tattooed ? Why not?

I read from Catholic exorcists, that it is better not to have tattoos.... I dont know the official stance of the Catholic Church

I think Judaism is the strictest about tattoos, you cannot be burried traditionally jewish if you have tattoos right? What does Islam teach or Hinduism and Buddhism?

I've always thought one like this would look well on you. Too, the artist would have an ample canvas...

Catholic Exorcists on Tattoos

From a Christian standpoint, the body is a temple of God. Would Jesus have gone to the temple as he did many times and deface it with graffiti? No. Our bodies are temples for our spirits where the Holy Ghost can come in and comfort, testify and teach truth. Tattoos degrade the temple, our bodies. It says, look at my outer beauty and not my true self, especially what is on the inside.

Can those who tattoo themselves repent? Yes. Do they have to get the tattoos removed? No.

Mormons have done a lot of cultural damage in the Pacific.

Prevalent Tattoos and piercings are suppose to be a Sign of the Times, from what I have read on it?

Facts please. We have spend millions helping the Pacificers with many areas. Including with floods and many other disasters. What has your Church or Atheists done?

Mormons preach Pacific culture is not worthy. Spare me the smug supremacy vibe.

 

[Cougarbear]

Prove this. This is so wrong. Where do you get this nonsense from? We are very sensitive to cultures of people. Very much so of American Indians as well. It's you with the smug supremacy vibe as you spew lies.

This below directly contradicts Pacific culture and casts it as inferior, not worthy. Mormons never stop doing this in the Pacific. Elsewhere too, I suppose. I imagine if they do it here they do it everywhere.

Can it get better?

Can those who tattoo themselves repent? Yes.

 

[cnm]

As though scattering money around for church buildings compensates for the destruction of Pacific culture. Well, seems to let Mormons think well of their cultural imperialism, so there is that.

 

[cnm]

Very much so of American Indians as well.

My ribs, my ribs! Please in future let me know when you're going to do that so I may put on a corset to protect my ribs.

TIA

You are a complete idiot. Our mission is to teach the gospel to all people. We don’t judge those who have lived their lives without the gospel of Jesus Christ. When we teach them and they make their own changes we baptize them. If they don’t, we still love them. And we show it by the way we treat them and work with them and help them. The Church is well respected out in the Pacific.

Your are a stupid person. Explain how we are destroying their culture? We are giving them opportunities both in earth and in heaven. The latter is more important than thinking tattoos makes up their culture. That’s just stupid.

What Kool Aid you must have drunk.

Yes. You should fuck off out of the Pacific. We'd all be a lot better off without you appalling hypocrites destroying people's culture.

How ignorant can one Mormon demonstrate herself to be? I mean, it's not as if she knows the first thing about Pacific or Maori culture but that's not going to stop her.

Your name's not Karen, is it?

Wow. You've done the twofer. Ignorant and stupid in your certainty that other cultures either don't exist or don't matter.

Respected by itself, sure. You are an example of that.
