According to Carrie Prejean, the Bible Allows Breast Implants. In an
interview with Christianity Today, Carrie Prejean uses the Bible to defend her cosmetic enhancement.
She states "No, I don't think there's anything wrong with getting breast implants as a Christian. I think it's a personal decision. I don't see anywhere in the Bible where it says you shouldn't get breast implants."
I'll grant her that the Bible
probably doesn't ban hooter heightening. I could be wrong, but I don't think that silicone stuffing was an issue back when the Bible banned everything.
The Bible does prohibit body-altering in some forms:
- Deuteronomy 14:1: "Ye are the sons of the LORD your God; you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead."
- 1 Kings 18:28: "And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them."
As I understand it, God made you. Should you go changing God's Creation to suit your plans to use your body to gain fame and wealth?
- 1 Corinthians 3:16: "Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple."
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
- Genesis 1:31: "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."
The real boob job is Miss Prejean herself. I disagree with what she said about "same marriage" and "opposite marriage" in 'the pageant,' but that doesn't bother me. After all, I disagree with just about everyone, even the voices in my head.
My problem with her is that she's dug herself into a hole, and refuses to put down the shovel. Instead of casting herself as a poor victim abused by the pageant, liberals, faggots, the news media, and on and on, she should just shut up. When the dust settles, she should find a role besides victim. Then move on. Surely someone who is pretty (and now has a great rack) and has a stage presence can find a way to serve humanity and/or herself and/or God.
Carrie, a tip for you: keep your mouth wired shut until you have at least 3 good clues - that would be 3 more than you have now.
Instead, she blames everyone else for her life going South, and blames most of the world mocking her stupidity. She's a liar and a cheat. She attempts to evade and avoid her past, present, and future.
Mostly, she's a hypocrite. Every time she gets caught in another act of hypocrisy, she writes it off as someone else's fault or her own imperfections. "I'm not perfect, " she says. Then she attacks and blames others, instead of granting them what she grants herself: the "I'm not perfect" excuse.
From the
interview with Christianity Today:
Carrie: Perez Hilton wasn't even correct when asking the question. He said, "Vermont recently legalized same-sex marriage. Do you think other states should follow suit? Why or why not?"
Actually, the people in Vermont didn't even vote. It was the legislature that voted.
ME: [Actually, Miss Prejean, most laws everywhere in the USA are made by legislative bodies, not by individual voters.]
Carrie: It's funny, looking back now; obviously I'm a lot more educated now. I'm not a spokesperson for traditional marriage, but looking back now, it was such a biased question. For a judge to ask that question and have his own agenda, and if you don't agree with him, (he will) call you every name in the book and then mock you for seven months? That's just crazy.
ME: [Miss Prejean, you shouldn't judge him. After all, in your own words, you are not perfect - so anything goes. Shouldn't that apply to Hilton, too? Besides, whatever kind of pathetic creep he is isn't the issue. Your answer is the issue.
Interviewer: Have you forgiven him?
Carrie: Oh yeah. I actually feel really sorry for him. I really do. If you look at his website, it's kind of scary what he does.
ME: [Is that the way a real Christian forgives? The way I learned it, forgiveness doesn't include any IFs, ANDs, or BUTs; forgiveness does not include PITY. But you're a Christian, I'm not. I guess that makes you righter than I.]
Mary Chapin Carpenter: "Forgiveness doesn't come with a debt."
Why not just accept that YOU screwed up?
- Find the real you.
- Live with that real you or fix it.
- Be true to that real you; if you really want to be a Christian, learn what that means and start living it.
- Get your facts right before talking out of turn ('get' the 3 clues).
Or continue the hypocrisy, the lies, the evasions, the blaming everyone else. But please stop doing those in public.
