In Church, I Noticed An Adult Woman
Unexpected Appearance in Church
A churchgoer was unsettled when she saw a woman in her 40s covered in tattoos and piercings during a service.
She said, “To me, church has always been a place of modesty and reverence,” and felt the woman’s look was “out of place in such a sacred space.”
Confrontation After Service
Afterward, she approached the woman and said her appearance wasn’t appropriate for church. The woman responded sharply, “It’s none of your business how I look,” leaving the worshipper confused.
Community Reactions
Many disagreed with the judgment. One commenter said, “Acceptance, tolerance, empathy, and compassion are all parts of religion that you don’t have.” Another added, “We are all God’s children and are all equal within the eyes of God. Only God can judge.”
Respecting Individual Faith
Others expressed support for the woman’s faith, stating, “Better she is there tattoed up, than not there at all,” and “Good on her she has faith and feels comfortable with her, never judge until you walk a mile in her shoes.”
