Why religion cannot make its mind up about nudity

Tropical Wilds said:

I’m not dressing like a schlub because some men are content to be weak and helpless with the expectation the world should make life easier for them as a result.

Men who look at me and have lust need to adjust themselves. The first step would be to acknowledge how I’m dressing has zero to do with them or a desire for their attention and approval. They are the center of their world but they’re certainly not the center of mine.

You need to cover yourself. No one wants to see it

Being a woman, I can confirm that exactly none of us are interested in dressing in a way that entices him or people like him. As a whole, we are not keen on pursuing the good opinion of people who compare women to prostitutes.

Straw man. I never compared woman to prostitutes. I said some dress like prostitutes and they do.

I'm not enticed by your nudity either. Showing off your beauty is vain and not beautiful. Put some clothes on. Have some respect for yourself

People need to refrain from showing their body. It's vain and not holiness

Your opinion is noted and being treated with every ounce of the seriousness it deserves.

I really don’t care who wants to see what. My wardrobe choices are not a democracy.

Which would be a comparison.

If you’re not enticed then what people do and don’t wear shouldn’t bother you in the slightest.

No need to worry about the level of self-respect I have. I’ve got plenty.

It bothers me because people struggle with sexual images.

It bothers me because it's unholy, vain and selfish. But I only care about the church. The world can do what it wants.

Tropical Wilds said:

So then they should work on themselves.

Oh no.

So it doesn’t bother you and the world can do what it wants. Perfect. A resolution we can all agree with. You mind your business and everybody else will mind theirs.

My business is preaching. It's vain, selfish and unholy to entice people with lust.

There is no honesty here. People act like you did something wrong by saying that prostitutes exist. Bad is good and good is bad
