Sin

I don't mind off-topic posts...conversations in real life tend to flow in different directions so I don't see a problem with that happening online as well

I haven't been involved in a forum yet where a thread stays on topic very long.

The bottom line is that men are sexually attracted to women by God's design. Sometimes, what we wear doesn't matter either way.

And sometimes it does. I remember a pastor many, many years ago who commented that the change in women's "revealing styles" (low cut necklines, bra-less, etc.) were especially distracting to him when they came to the communion rail. The pastor does have to keep his eyes open to serve communion.

Modesty is Biblical. Legalism concerning dress is not.

Yes, well, exposing one's cleavage is a bad idea any time. I don't know how women keep from feeling naked under such circumstances, but maybe I'm just a stick in the mud or have yet to outgrow being a tomboy.

Ok, I had said something, then thought it was too off topic and deleted it, but now I think it fits.

Some of us were given a little more than we would like and show a bit of cleavage no matter what we wear, unless it's a turtleneck or T-shirt. While I agree wearing stuff that makes you hang out on purpose isn't right, we also can't help the way we are built, and I don't think I should have to refrain from buying v-neck shirts that would still be modest for most people, for example, because some might show if I turn the wrong way. I have a friend who is bigger than I am and she has a harder time. I would get reduction surgery in a heartbeat if I can prove that it causes back problems so insurance would pay for it.

I also know some women who can cover themselves up completely and be equally alluring as if they were wearing a bikini. Porterross is right. Further, I think Robin Williams said that Men were born with 2 brains, but only enough blood to operate one at a time. Women didn't create that.

About pants - there's pants out there that have legs so wide they look like a skirt. I've had my culottes mistaken for skirts a few times.

About thongs (I think Rad mentioned that) - If they are worn correctly, no one sees them. Why they have to show is beyond me.

While this is correct, that doesn't give free license to just wear whatever either. If more people, of both sexes, kept in mind that they are going to God's house, not the club, things would be better. A church service is NOT where you go to get hooked up.

Uh, oh! Did you read that, Rev?

If I were a woman I would have a second problem with wearing closed top shirts and dresses. I am like a human furnace and rarely ever wear a tie or button up my shirt all the way. If I can get away with it I leave the top tow or maybe even 3 buttons if I don't have to worry about people looking at me. So I feel very sorry for women who want to show modesty but share in my problem.

We were blessed to get A/C in our church last year and it is so nice. I have passed our cold twice in church and I'm not the only one. My daughter passed out at her wedding from heat, everyone teased her about that but it was quite obvious why she kealed over.

While what you said is true and good looks and being sexually attracted should be the last reasons why anyone should get married, I think if more people married out of their churchs membership there would be far less divorces and broken familes.

I think you mean from within their church's membership.
