"Tattoos will not take you to hell! It doesn't add to your Christianity or make you less spiritual. In some cultures, Tattoos are their way of life." CITAM (Christ is The Answer Ministries) Reverend Jesse Mwai preached to his anticipating congregation last Sunday.

He also added on the stereotype nature the church has on people who have dreadlocks, saying, "Unfortunately, in Christianity, people put too much emphasis on dreadlocks. Having dreadlocks will not take you to hell or heaven. Reggae, Hip hop are different music genres. When you go to some cultures, they use these genres to worship God. People in the Caribbean write their songs with a touch of reggae. They praise God and go to Heaven. The church needs to stop being too legalistic."
