On today's show, Marty talks about some fads that are taking today's youth by storm....some OK, and some VERY NOT OK!!!! Both "cutting" and "knitting" are in the news in the modern western world.
With the encouragement and support of twenty-something media stars, and wide internet and press coverage, our youth are taking up self-mutilation as a new hobby, as well as a method of escape from the "pressures" of life. Marty Roberts sees this as somewhat of an alarming development, and ponders what this might have to say about the current religious/moral state of our society.
The bizarre tattooing craze has already made itself felt world-wide, even here, in Israel. Perhaps using the human body as an art canvas is less alarming than carving it up like raw meat, but it is no less forbidden by both Jewish and Christian Law:
The verse from the Torah/Bible is:
Leviticus 19:28 -- "Do not cut your bodies for the dead, or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD"
The Jewish religion views the human body as a holy vessel, on loan to its user, to temporarily house the Human Spirit during its brief time on this earth. It is fully expected that this body will be returned to its owner in the same condition in which it was received!!
And what about the deranged German so-called artist that makes art out of preserved human corpses?????
Marty has something to say about THAT, also!!
Less disturbing, perhaps even encouraging is another trend that is grabbing teenage boys in both America and Israel...KNITTING!!!!
Can yarn and knitting needles REALLY be a powerful "chick-magnet"??? Maybe so!!!
