Are Tattooed Persons More Likely to Rape My Son Or Daughter?
I need to start off this article with a broad proclamation of my faith — JESUS LOVES ME, AND CAN LEARN TO LOVE YOU TOO, IF YOU REPENT.
I had to preface this article with such a claim, because of the nature of the people whom I’m describing — Tattooed individuals.
This originally started off as one of my daily devotions, but I took it upon myself to share it with my brothers at Christwire as proof that I am a man who is not without fault — recently my seventeen-year old son, Bobbi Dale, befriended another boy whom we all took an immediate liking too, and we had him over for dinner. I found no fault with Bobbi’s new friend, especially because he helped Bobbi with his academics and didn’t pressure him into trying cigarettes or “poppers.”
I even read in Bobbi’s diary that he and his new friend had done a variety of experimenting in the locker room — which is of no surprise to me; as a celebrated chemist and recipient of a full-ride Chemistry scholarship to Oral Roberts, I knew Bobbi was willing to have it stuck to him, and work long hours in order to maintain his 4.0 GPA. But that night, after dinner, I saw something that has stuck to me till this day.
As Bobbi’s friend was leaving our home, he shared a long embrace with my son. After what seemed to be twenty minutes, his friend left but not before taking off his hooded sweatshirt revealing a large “The Phish” tattoo on his upper-right shoulder blade.
I prayed for hours as to what I should do. Finally Jesus came inside me, and I begin to write this down.
—
So, “Are People with tattoos more likely to rape my son/daughter?”
The short answer is yes. Since these individuals have no problem with desecrating the temple of God, they have no qualms about sexually forcing themselves upon a child.
The long answer, for the purpose of this article, takes a look at several factors that contribute to this overwhelming phenomena in which heavily tattooed individuals commit a multitude of crimes and sins against God. How does someone soil the fine Christian traditions laid forth in the Bible, by cutting and staining the most holy of canvases?
Do drugs — mainly Marijuana — play a role? Do these people suffer from a crippling mental illness that causes them to reject God’s love and grace in lieu of “tattoos?” Are these people undergoing a crisis which causes them to question their sexual orientation and thus, fill this void with “Tattoos?” Do these people often times have difficulty from abstaining from pre-marital sex with minors?
The answer to all of these statements is a resounding “Yes.”
While blasphemizing Christ and destroying God’s most beautiful creation is trespass enough, these “tattooed” people are even more deplorable than once thought. A new statistic released by the Christian Science Foundation for a Better Life indicates that the most serious of these offenses by tattooed persons are rape. Statistics show that 78% of rapists are identified through their tattoos. 78% of tattooed persons are guilty of rape. And those are simply the ones who get caught.
I weep when I think about Jesus Christ on his heavenly throne, looking down upon the Earth and viewing Hispanic or Black gang members, heavily tattooed with religious imagery, exposing their genitals to children at the local Disney store.
But what occurs to make people loath themselves so much as to destroy the beautiful canvas which God hath created? What causes a person to snicker with his friends and whisper “I’m an atheist” while smoking cigarillos and receiving tattoos behind the school’s football field? The answer is frightening. More children can recite lyrics of the band “Slipknot” than recite John 3:16.
Due to my volunteer work at the local drug rehabilitation facility, I was able to compile a list of common factors amongst the numerous “tattooed” persons whom I came in contact with. These factors and characteristics allowed me to provide a brief insight into the psyche of the “tattooed” person. Here are a few reasons people get tattoos –
1. Hard Drug abuse — a majority of tattooed folks get tattoos for the sole purpose of covering up evidence of them using hard drugs such as heroin or cocaine. Often times this weakened, drugged mindset will contribute to them getting a “Sailor Jerry” or a “Ed Hardy themed demonic tattoo. It’s proven that 89% of those who have been tattooed have thought about using Marijuana as a recreational drug at one point in their life. Many “tattooed” persons are so heavily drugged, that conversation with them is near impossible.
2. Low Self Esteem — People often get tattooed because they are horrible human beings who hate everything about themselves. Perhaps a loved one died due to their negligence, or perhaps they were experimenting with Alcohol and hit someone in their motor vehicle — the fact of the matter is, the more depressed a person, the more tattoos they have. These people see other scummy, low-life individuals who they identify with, adorned with numerous tattoos. They then feel that if they too are tattooed, they will be “Accepted”, welcomed or loved. The sad fact is most Tattoo artists are homosexuals who use tattooing as a twisted way to “self-medicate”. Thus the artistic prowess and varied use of colors in tattoo designs. “Mr. Nice Guy” Freddy Corbin is the most notorious of these closet homosexuals, and is rumored to perform oral sex on his male clientele, in order to “soothe” the pain associated with getting tattooed.
3. Gay Homosexuality — It’s a common gay homosexual rite of passage to get a lower back tattoo or a “tramp stamp” (Homosexuals often photograph these tattoos and collect them in a grotesque manner to “document” all of their disease-filled exploits). 12 out of every 14 gay men have a tattoo on their back. Well known closet homosexual “Katt Daddy” from the History Channel’s “Mudcats” program has a large tattoo that reads “Katt Daddy” on his back as a friendly reminder to all the homo’s who have sex with him that he is in fact, a “Katt Daddy.”
4. A Lack of Strong Moral Integrity and Ethics — This begins at home. Perhaps parents of tattooed individuals need to take a step back and examine the lack of parenting they are guilty of. Listening to rock music, drinking wine and other spirits and excessive use of social media are all clear-cut warnings that one is not fit to be a parent. A clear revamping in the parental strategy is necessary for these type of parents, who should be ashamed that they procreated.
5. Poverty — Tattooed individuals often use their sick art as a way to advertise their bodies and services. For example, a person with a “tribal” tattoo indicates that they are seeking savage, unprohibited sex, with a member of the same sex. A nautical star tattoo broadcasts that one is sexually promiscuous, and has drugs available for purchase. Prominent rapper “Soldier Boy” is covered in tattoos, most of them indicating that he is a bi-sexual who abuses drugs and flaunts wealth.
Reading the Bible every night with your family provides the strengthening necessary for willful devotion to the Lord’s word and practices. Sinful families often forget the daily Bible read and prayer, and thus are more likely to tailspin into a lifetime of inequity.
Don’t let missed child support payments of unpaid mortgages force you into destroying your body. The Lord, our God created our flesh in his image, and the last time I checked, MY Lord and God didn’t look like a fat, meth-addicted biker clad in Harley-Davidson gear with a plethora of “dildoes” adorning his pink colored “chopper.”

Typical of sinners to attacks Billings with filthy libel and unfounded claims. I’ve had fellowship with Billings on several occasions and let me be the first to tell you that there is not a pedophilic bone in his body. Billings is most certainly not a “Father Flanagan.”
Perhaps most of these commentors would be better served taking a course on public speaking or debate. They’d then learn that you cannot win an argument by making baseless accusations and personal attacks.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say that Billings is the object of your perverse desire — continuing to call him a pedophile will not turn Billings into one. Wishful thinking, L.N. you sickening pervert, you.

Maybe that goes for america (in 80% of cases… maybe 90%), but here where i live and i have such friends here, none of this is true. And since you did refer to ALL people who have a tattoo, i just wanted to prove you wrong, which i did.

Here you call them mental ill.
And then you also call them drug abusers, homosexuals, low-lifers and so on (i could quote more). And you refere to all tattooed people.
Bible judges people by their looks? Please make a quote out of it. I want to read that. That actually remind me on a video, where a woman said “I don’t hate gay people, god does.” And i always thought god loves everyone… or something.

Markey, clearly you missed the conversation from when Pedobillings admitted to seeing children naked. When asked upon further, he revealed that he saw them naked in situations that would require him to actually TRY to see them naked. You can’t say those things and NOT be called a pedophile. Then again, you’re a soulless bastard who supports the Phelps and their insidious cult of insanity and hatred, so it’s not surprising you support people who are just as hateful as you.

Hi – brother, you are FULL of fear! That was not Christ speaking to
You or through you. You convinced yourself and
Manipulated your righteous position within Chris to justify it.
You may as well say people who enjoy candy (especially chocolate) are
More likely to rape someone. Most of the time rapists aren’t
the easiest person to identify. Take a psychology course!!
Jesus walked with all the misfits and “weirdos” and loved them not because they earned His death on the cross (no one did and I very much include you in this statement) but because they believe and chose to receive the beauty God provides us. Jesus loves those with Tattoos and as a Christ follower and example on this earth for His purpose so should you. Jesus didn’t ever say “thou who is tattooed is more likely to rape”. Foolishness. Jesus tells us to love and judge others how we wish to be judged. Judge lest ye be judged. So, in theory when you face Jesus – He will hold you to that standard.
Don’t assume that about those with tat’s. Stop being a pussy about ppl with tattoos and be a shining light in their life – gently guide them into understanding how beautiful God made them. Not attack them with fear and judgement!
What does your statement say about those who tattoo a loved one on their body to carry their memory everywhere? Or those who sacrifice skin to demonstrate physically their dedication to Christ?
Jesus loves everyone already. It is you who needs to love as Jesus does.

I mean, apparently its “His” temple. So do you ask him before you get dresses or get a hair cut? Even if you did, you wouldnt hear an answer. Why? IF, there is a higher power somewhere, he wouldnt waste his time with petty crap like this. 7 billion people on the planet, a third are Christian.

Just wanted to post real quick to the author of this… article, I suppose we’ll say, and point out a few quick things he got wrong.
First, and CERTAINLY foremost, the Christian religion states that Jesus LEARNS to love no one, Jesus LOVES everyone and YOU have to learn to love him.
Secondly, the statistic posted about how 78% of rapists are identified by their tattoos is correct. Your following statement that this means that 78% of tattooed people are guilty of rape is incorrect in the extreme. 78% of RAPISTS are guilty of being TATTOOED; not the other way around.
Skipping over the obviously pulled from the air statements about how tattoos are a show that you question your sexual orientation and your similar remarks we’ll just keep to correcting facts.
Tribal tattoos were a fade. They had no more set in stone meaning than bird tattoos do today.
Nautical star tattoos were started by sailors. Sailor tattoos such as swallows, anchors, and nautical stars signified things such as how many nautical miles you’d sailed and other such sea-themed things.
Once again, a “majority of tattooed folk” do not get their tattoos to cover up signs of drug use. We’ll recap from the rapist statement. Many people guilty of hard drug use are guilty of using tattoos to cover up signs of this. This doesn’t mean most tattooed folk fall into this category.
Also drawing the correlation that someone willing to desecrate the temple of God would OBVIOUSLY have no problem harming a child (two things that you believe to be sins) is like saying that judgmental people would obviously have no problem harming a child. They’re both sins. Another note on that, you’re pushing YOUR belief on others and judging their actions on it. Because they’re doing something that they think is perfectly morally fine (getting a tattoo as they don’t believe their body is a temple so have no reason to feel badly about this) you see fit to jump to the conclusion that they’d be willing to do something so deplorable as rape a child. I can think of three of my tattooed friends who have STOPPED rapes and another four who have soundly beaten people they found out to be molesters.
In closing, I would like to state that I honestly believe that it’s “Christians” like you that are the reason God has turned his back on us. Not the premarital sex (which many prominent “heroes” in the Bible engaged in without it saying it was bad), or the lack of belief or any of the other things that people like to say are the reasons. I believe that it’s the people who think so highly of themselves (pride) that they feel they have the right to decide what’s right and wrong for others (judging). The people who spread THEIR word as God’s word (false witness), and spread hate (wrath, hate, anger), are the ones that have caused Him to loose hope in us.
I’ve never had a person of a different belief make me feel ashamed to be a Christian. Only other Christians have done that by behaving the way that you express in this article. Congratulations on making us all look bad and pushing people further from God.
Have a good one,
Skiv

To the author:
I think your son might be gay. You mentioned he and his new friend ”expiramenting” in the locker room and engaging in long embraces. Perhaps deep down inside you fear this is true and are looking for something to blame it on. Tattooed people are not the reason. I am a woman, I have 7 tattoos. I’ve never raped anyone nor have I ever been raped. I’m not a prostitute, drug addict or drug dealer. I’m not a criminal. I’m married to a man, we have a son, I have a good, well paying job as a project manager at a Christian company and they are fully aware of my tattoos. I’ve never been arrested, never been in jail. I’m not mentally ill. I’m just a woman who has tattoos.
If you give an artist a piece of canvas, they will paint a picture. Why can’t we do the same with our bodies (since you keep referring to it as a canvas)?

I found this website and article as linked on a non-Christian friend’s facebook posting. I myself, am a Christian.
I must say that I hope that we as believers can take a step back and take a look at what our calling is. It is to love one another, and to spread that love and be a light unto the world by it’s use. Do we find ourselves being so critical of each other and the decisions that people make? Is that what Jesus really intended? I believe that it is up to God to judge, and not for us. I believe that we are granted discernment so that we may be able to guide ourselves through life and make good choices. However, to judge a person because they have tattoos is wrong. Who are you to judge what is in their heart? Or how they interpreted a scripture? Perhaps they are born new in Christ anyhow!
It is with such great sadness that I read all of the hate filled posts by brothers and sisters in Christ. This is NOT what we are called to do! Do you think you are pleasing God by hating and ridiculing people? You are turning people away from God and His Word by being the way that you are. You are to be a vine ripe with fruit! The fruit of your love and your light is bringing others TO Christ, not pushing them away and arguing with them!
Remember to love and to live in peace. Jesus was about peace and love, not hatred and looking down on people. Get off of your high horse, and stop saying you are riding in the name of Christ. You aren’t. You are riding for yourself. Ask yourself the question next time that you go to type a comment to someone if it is something that Jesus would say to someone in the same situation. Remember those wrist bands that everyone used to wear “WWJD”?

Really. I cannot believe that still be alive people like this.
You can belive in your God and have a Tattoo at the same time.
It is Art, Expresion, Decisions.
Dear Thing (Cause I can’t belive a people can think that), remember, there is a different between faith and fanaticism.
Please use your computer for something real and search for all the massacres that the religion fanaticism has been done all over the times.

To all Christians out there, if the new testament is correct and there is an afterlife that is in accordance with what it says, you all are going to have to deal with this asshole in the afterlife too XD “Go to heaven for the climate, go to hell for the company”
