After fleeing the thug-controlled state of Ohio (1969), East Tenn. and South Carolina were such righteous places to live. I know what you mean.
The Bible states God's blessing will not be on a people or nation which deliberately turns the Sabbath (Lord's day) into just another day of merchandising and pleasure. We are on this earth for His pleasure, not ours.
Of course I've heard of the New Testament, that's the whole point! You're the one who was claiming that bans on tattooing are legitimate because it's forbidden in Leviticus.
Do you mind telling me which commandments in Leviticus you believe in and which you don't? And how are the rest of us non-holy-rollers supposed to know?

Letting some dingaling loose on you with needles that might be dirty, in order to create a lifelong mutilation? *Definitely* a lowrent behavior.
Please show me where I posted that. All I said was tattooing is heathen and pagan. What are you smoking?
I.And how are the rest of us non-holy-rollers supposed to know?
Do you consider yourself a pagan or heathen?
Please show me a pagan or heathen nation in the history of the world which has enjoyed the liberties we have enjoyed in the USA. You know what? You can't.
There is no liberty outside of Christianity.
"Conservative" and "Liberal" just don't apply to one's place in the political spectrum anymore. FR has become overrun with STATISTS.
Got pierced ears?
The country club conservatives will never give you a straight answer on those types of questions posed by us heathens.
In fact I'm constantly reading this site and very rarely do I offer an opinion. My observations are that there are only a few people in the forums that take the time to actually read what is written instead of skimming or making an assumption with no basis and then going off half cocked ranting and raving at somebody.
By the way, the Lord Jesus Christ will handle my judgment, I don't think he will need to confer with you.
No it is not. I have already said I have no problem with people who want tattoos. I know lots of people who have tatoos. Let them go to a state where it is legal to get them. Personally, I don't want my tax dollars spent to regulate these places.
And in SC all these sorority girls are toothless?
By the time of his death Goldwater had become a wholly irrelevant, confused and bitter old codger, whose opinions were about as substantial and intellligent as the bilabial fricative wheezings emanating from a whoopee cushion.
Which, of course, is why many libertarians revere him.
I met him three or four years before his death. He spoke on current affairs for half an hour, without notes, and then answered unscripted questions from the audience. His opinions were crisp, consistent, and wholly relevant. He showed no trace of bitterness or confusion.
In his retirement, some religious fanatics became upset with him because he scorned the reptilian Rolex-flashing TV preachers who were giving conservative politics a bad name. Unfortunately, these holy-rolling wackos have burrowed deeply into the party apparatus. It's a sad commentary on today's Republicans that so many of them prefer a heap of filth like Pat Robertson or Jimmy Swaggart to a great leader and patriot like Barry Goldwater.
Goldwater was one of the four or five greatest men in the history of the Grand Old Party. He had more character in his little finger than all the TV preacher weasels put together. God bless him and keep him.

You are correct.
It was actually the holier-than-thou state senator who referred to the Bible to support keeping tattooing illegal in South Carolina.
You, on the other hand, said that you also wanted to keep the ban, because tattooing is heathen and pagan, and you want to keep our culture as Christian as possible.
Silly me, I thought you were agreeing with the senator's interpretation of Leviticus. Thanks for setting me straight.
I assume this means you cannot cite any Biblical support for your view; you just have a feeling that because it seems heathen and pagan to you, that's reason enough to ban it. Am I missing something?

What a presposterous argument. If your tax dollars do not go to regulate the parlors, they will go to the cops you pay to shut them down, in vastly greater amounts. Try again.

Who is Matthew Henry and why should I give a damn for his opinion?
