I'm not going to lie to you: I am a very devout Christian, and not
to get off on a tangent or anything, but I sense some animosity that
some zealous Christians feel towards the art of Mehndi. I've been
told (Very ardently) by some that henna painting oneself is
blasphemous, that it states in the Bible that it is a sin to put
markings on one's body. Designs which I MYSELF created were
recognized beyond a shadow of a doubt as being those of Satan.

Personally, that's is a bunch of Bologna.

No one gets after people with permanent tattoos. I think that its
some culture panic over the fact that it comes from a similar area of
the earth where the Christian faith originated, and it isn't a
Christian-Dominant practice.

Yeah, I do believe that the body is a temple, and I KNOW that Henna
is a way of celebrating the body. So, for the record, I am not
marring it in any way, rather I'M SIMPLY DECORATING IT!!!!!

And besides. Doesn't the Bible also say that mortal people aren't
fit to judge?
