Im a christain but want to get my belly peirced?

Question

should i and is that a sin

Answer 1

There's no God, honey.  Pierce it and show it off.

Answer 2

I don't think so. Maybe in the old law but not under the new testament(pretty sure).

Answer 3

I'm a Christian. I can do whatever I want to my body without it being a sin (except suicide) but for catholics it's different. Catholics like, won't bury you if you have a tattoo. So... depends which christian you are.

Answer 4

It's not the actual piercing that's a sin, it's you most likely flaunting that piercing around like a w***e.

Answer 5

Are you serious?  

Answer 6

um...if you were of a denomination that believes it's a sin to do things to your body like tattoos or piercings, I'm pretty sure you'd know about it

Answer 7

not a sin, your good to go

Answer 8

buy fake earings or somthing wear that it will look real!

Answer 9

Why would that be a sin?  Even if it was, would you not be forgiven?

Other than a physical reason, I don't see any problem. There is not a commandment that states: Thou shalt not pierce.

Answer 10

no its not a sin, and getting a piercing has nothin to do with religion.

its more of an issue of tradition and perception. many religious conservatives view piercings as deviant, and they rationalise what is completely irrational by blambing God...which is uncool.

Go ahead and do it if you want. You should be more worried about whether you catch tetanus or sumthin from the place that does it.

ALSO: Its not against the catholic faith to get peircings or tatoos, either. I'm catholic and so is about 1/2 of new york (especially Staten Island, Long Island, the Bronx and Queens) and there are PLENTY of Irish and Italian Catholics with tatoos & piercings. I had a priest who was a Navy Chaplain and even HE got a tatoo

Answer 11

its not a sin in the christian religion

it is bad if your jewish tho so.. that doesnt really apply to you haha

but no go ahead and pierce it i dont think that God would care =]

and btw i dotn think that "life is good" is correct because i am a catholic and i could get a tatoo if i wanted i could pierce watever i wanted and i could still be burried in a catholic cemetary i believe its jewish people that cant be burried in a jewish cemetary with tatoos or piercings

Answer 12

I know the bible isn't a fan of tattoos, but I'm not sure about piercings. Since ear piercings are very acceptable, then I guess there is no problem with a belly piercing. So no... it is not a sin.
