Televangelist Pat Robertson warned his viewers with tattoos on Wednesday that they would be considered heathens, even if the body art included Jesus Christ. During the Bring It On segment of The 700 Club, a viewer told Robertson that a friend was considering getting a tattoo of Jesus on his upper back.
Does that make it okay? the viewer wondered. It doesnt make it okay because its religious, believe me, Robertson asserted. I mean, it could be a tattoo of some hoochie-cooch girl. I mean, it doesnt really make any difference. The TV preacher explained that the Bible forbid people from marking their bodies, and cut themselves like the heathen did.
Tattooing is heathen practice, it is not a Christian practice, to mar the body that [God] gave you, he insisted. And you see people that have gone crazy on this, and their bodies are just filled with these things. It is a heathen practice, and it is prohibited in the Old Testament, and so that fact that its Jesus doesnt make a bit of difference.

Hell, he's a year older than at least one of the men he "prayed" about.

(531 posts)I would really hate to have to get a tat of Jesus as a hoochie-cooch girl to ensure I am going to well where ever Pat is not going too.
Unless it is someplace where I get to torment him for eternity.

(50,562 posts)When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but Pat Robertson on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto Pat Robertson, Pick up thy Shit and goeth straight to the Lake of Fire, prepared for the Devil and his angels.
And at once, the earth split open and the Devil exclaimed, Fuck you Jesus, on this I draw the line. He's your problem. You deal with him.
