On Modesty

Here's someone's take on a Christian forum

I think the whole clothing thing is a product of your life.

If you were raised around nudity then nudity would not tempt you.

I think the human body is the most beautiful creation that God has created, it should NOT be used for sinful gains, but often times is.

A thong is a double edged sword, as all clothes are. Some harlets were them, some don't. Some harlets were full body coverings as well.

I do understand that you are not suppose to tempt others, but you are also not suppose to do the opposite either.

I wear thongs and go topless on beaches and I think it is fine. My body was created by God and is a temple of God. Why cover the temple of God?

I think that if you are offended by my wearing of a thong (not to get attention) then you probably need to pray so that you are not tempted. Women can tempt men no matter what they wear, no matter where they are, no matter what their motives are.

I guess women should stay at home, out-of-site and never be in public. That would not tempt men, right?

Men/Woman GROW UP and be Godly! God made us in his image and he has given us a way to live our lives. Clothes are a crutch for mankind, and a poor one at that.

I grew up in a very strict Christian environment with many males around. I never had sex until I was married, neither has my daughter or son.

I am sorry that I have a female body and God made it attactive to men. It was Gods design and it is what brings the genders together. Nudity (for me) is never to distract, but to be comfortable with the clothes that God provided me with. If God intended that I would not be attractive to the other sex than I wouldn't be.

I think the whole clothing thing needs to be addresed when we are children. Children need to be exposed to the nude human form. If all were nude from the start noone would look at another with lust anymore than if one were clothed from head to toe.

I find it interesting, to say the least. For the record, my position on modesty is similar to that of C.S. Lewis, that it differs from culture to culture.
