I believe that it would be safe to say that Christian men would not wear ear rings. Nor, would God s children be drilling holes in their noses, tongues, eyelids, lips, belly buttons etc. Secondly, it would be prudent to consider the cultural direction. We see a cultural attraction to body piercing, fantasy murder games, and suicidally depressing music. In the non-Christian culture, there are have been two ideologies vying for the hearts of man.
Rationalism seeks order, self-control and community solidarity.
There is a conformity favoring the group over the individual. They were convinced they could control nature and even reshape society by their rationalistic ideologies and scientific knowledge. On the other hand, the Experiential valued extreme experiences. They sought places of danger and extreme excitement. They use drugs and alcohol to experience a sense of freedom and enlightenment.
