“A classic illustration of marking oneself is found in the example of the Amlicites. They did not want to appear as Nephites and ‘marked themselves with red in their foreheads after the manner of the Lamanites’ (Alma 3:4). … Just as these Amlicites began to take on the appearance of the Lamanites, they also began to take on their attitudes. The spiritual principle is, ‘You can’t act like, think like, and dress like the world. It will cost you spiritually’” (Williams, “Using the Book of Mormon to Meet Today’s Challenges,” 36).
