I'm not a religious person in the traditional sense of the word, but
turns out I find myself one of the most religious person I've ever met
because patience, perseverance, lack of ambition and a certain mastery
of the art of listening seem pretty religious to me.  For instance,
pretty much every religious person I know has at least one tattoo on
their skin.  I think that's totally non-religious because a tattoo
effectively destroys (at least a bit) something natural that took a
zillion years to be prepared---to protect the person.  I think that if
God speaks to us at all, it is done through the movement of nature.

 Never been a fan of tattoos. But in my case it is a conservative upbringing
where tattoos where seen as low class. It is strange how things like that still
stick with you. On the other hand, it is permanent, and since I don't have
anything permanent to say, I don't really see why I should get a tattoo.
 

Most intelligent people realize that the subcutaneous inks used in tattooing cause cancer. It's not difficult to predict, when one observes that most all foreign substances admitted to the body (whether by breathing, ingestion, etc) lead to cancer.
