I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream. It seemed like it had a plot or something and I resolved it, but I forget what it was about. All I know is that the end was fun at a water park.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What are you doing right now? (3)

Hmmm...I can almost remember the dream I had last night.
I'm just sitting here, checking out my email and lurking on two websites before I go off and get productive today. LOL.

I trust this isn't a tatoo...
Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD (Leviticus 19:28)

Thanks Keri!
I'm excited.. (I took the day off work). Im going to sleep in, make some coffee, listen to some nice music, maybe go down to the beach for a bit and watch the waves, then I think Im making a mini road trip down to San Diego to pick up some new car parts I ordered. 
SO excited.
..however I just found out I need new tires. They are really worn down. All 4 need to be replaced.
Ouch.. that's going to be a big bill. 
and ON topic; I just got into work, drinking my coffee, playing my iPod, thinking about how thankful I am for my life.

Relax - it's the Cross of St. Peter
Watching as my nation goes into debt, and receiving reports from the coastal urbanates of cruise missile strikes, with several hundred civilians dead or missing.
They can destroy our economy and devastate our urbanates, but we will never surrender.
Hail the Technate!

It is and I love it.
Ever read the 20 before and the 20 after? It's a good thing to do regarding verses that I learned in Bible college.
It seems every Christian anti-tattoo argument is based primarily on one thing...a single verse from Leviticus:
"You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the LORD."
Does this verse really condemn all tattoos?
Read properly, no!
Leviticus 19:26-31 deals with pagan practices and God's prohibitions against adopting those practices. In verse 28, God is warning the Jewish people about a pagan practice at funerals, where pagans would mutilate/mark themselves to appease their false gods. The pagans hoped that by cutting themselves and marking images/symbols of idols on their bodies, that they would obtain favour in the afterlife from their false gods, both for themselves and for those who just died.
See the Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (I've read that book front to back and all the commentation. It's a great book.) on the Whole Bible, the New John Gill Exposition of the Entire Bible, the Adam Clarke Commentary, and the Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible for more detailed analysis.
As no one with a tattoo is trying to pacify a pagan deity, it is safe to say this verse is not relevant to us.
The Old law and the New Law established by Christ and how Leviticus 19:28 relates to the New Law
Still, many who read the Bible will not take into account historical considerations or the full context of Leviticus 19:28.
Yet, there is a very real problem with using this verse in an anti-tattoo argument. One cannot believe that Jesus is Lord and He came to save the world through grace and love and still accept this verse as applicable to us today. It sounds harsh, but it is true. Why? The answer is simple. Christ gave us a New Law, one that supersedes the Old Testament Law, which includes Leviticus 19:28.
