I don't mean this to offend anyone, but this is how I see it. I'm not sure where Belly Dance comes from and that is the question I have in my mind. The reason people that have a Belly Dancing site and say that they don't know where it comes from is becuase that if they knew you knew from the start that it was bad, you wouldn't want to read their website about Belly Dancing. And sometimes people can convince you that something isn't bad when it is and now they look at you like your a bad person and you have no clue what you did wrong.
Most Middle East is bad, I'm not saying that everyone there is bad, there are a few people there who are good people, but think, it's only a few. And think about how big that few people are.
When you are talking about bad, people can convince you to think that Belly Dance isn't bad. This is most of the battle going on in my mind. I want to belly Dance, but when you ask me, how do I see it, I see it as
in one of the facts that people have in Middle East is that the Women were never able to sit with the Men, Women are one side of the house and Men are on the other side of the house. Women want to sit with the Men, so they do a dance to entertain each other , hoping to catch the guy's attention, so they can sit with the Men.
And who knows what happend next. I'm not sure what there intentions were on that.
I totally understand the positive side though, cuase I like to see it in the positive way. But then again, that maybe just the fact that I don't want to accept it as something bad. And again if it wasn't about seduction, they look like they are to entertain each other as if they were Bi or something no offence.
And most of the big moves were in forms of other Goddesses. Who they worshipped. In the Bible it says that we shouldn't sit with people and eat with people who worshipped other God's. Does that mean that if Iam belly dancing Iam worshipping other God's? That's another question that goes on in my mind.
Another thing I see is that, sure you can't go down the street and get beeped at, but most of the time , I wear clothes that cover a majority of my body and men still beep at me. Yeah of course. I understand that. But if you walk down the street and your half nakid down the street, I mean wearing shirts that show a part of you, esp your stomache, men are gonna beep at you no matter what. And someone may actually walk up to you and think that your trying to go out with someone. Think about it.
It's like Adam and Eve with the Apple, sure it's food and it's good like all other Food, but does that mean that Apple was ok for them? No it wasn't. I think that's why it was called The Forbidden Dance in other terms.
That's the same about Belly Dance, when you say that a man thinks the women was trying to get with him when they were Belly Dancing for him. And it's easy to make a man think that, you can't blame it on him for thinking that,I say I wouldn't Belly Dance if I made him think that and that is called teasing.
Thease are the battles I have about Belly Dancing in my mind. Not putting anyone down,this is just how I see it, and I'm not sure if I should Belly Dance or not.
And alot of Egyptians took advantage of the Christian people and abused them really bad, they hated the Christians and treated them like slaves. Most of the Belly Dancing I think started from Egypt but I'm not sure.
And I like Dancing so I'd hate to leave a certain form out, but if I'm not showing a Godly immage by Belly Dancing, I wouldn't Belly Dance.
Maybe I'm just falling under false guilt.

. and what is sin for one, may not be for another. i'm sure if the Holy Spirit convicted your heart that this was wrong you wouldn't do it. only God can be our judge.
