CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is offensive to some, is not to others. Even amongst Christians. What was offensive 50 years ago, is not today. Fashion style is extremely subjective. I changes even from year to year. So I wouldn't be too bothered by summertime wear.

so if it's very hot then nudity would be ok?
I probably have a more liberal view on nudity than most Americans. I don't see why people shouldn't be allowed to go naked at appropriate places. For example, I don't see why nudity should be prohibited at a beach or pool, although I wouldn't want to see nudity alllowed at a symphony concert or in church or at a formal affair.
Even if complete nudity is prohibited, I think that women should certainly have the right to go topless anyplace that men can go topless. There are a few places in the US, like the State of New York, where this is allowed, but that isn't the case in most places in America.

Depends on the individual. I'm of a size and stature that shorts and little teeny weeny skirts would be a severe affront to nature. So I have gotten used to wearing jeans in the dead of summer. I have other ways of staying cool.

Its hard to say because it could just be culture based. On the one hand not wearing much causes temptation, on the other hand I don't want women wearing curtains all year. I guess people should wear what they want as long as they are covering up the basics.
In places like church though there should be more modesty because the point is to focus on God, not that person to the left that is catching your eye.
Do you think society (inc kids) would be better or worse off seeing more nakedness?
Isn't there a difference between the bodies of men and women and that is why there is a difference between what can and cannot be shown?

For the first your of my long life, this one I intend to keep the promise I made to myself to wear shorts through the hot season.
No this is not more clothes than normal. I usually wear jeans and bake in the heat.

Frankly I think that society would be better off. I've spent time in Europe where nudity really isn't that big a deal.
No, it's a cultural thing.

BTW, I also think that such things can be self-regulating without the intervention of the state. Right now it is legal for women to go topless in the state of New York so long as it isn't being done for commercial purposes, yet very few do because it isn't part of our American culture.

The King made it plain that defilement comes out of a person's heart.
So IF the person is wearing skimpy clothes to be cool. That is fine.
IF they are doing it to be outrageous or to rebel against others to show off, then that is coming from a bad heart.

To me there is a healthier attitude towards the human body. Take the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" from the Superbowl a few years back. Janet Jackson's breast was exposed for one or two seconds--something that most viewers didn't even notice at the time it happened--and it caused a national uproar. My German friends were wondering what all the fuss was about.

There is a difference in our bodies of course, but what makes some things not ok to reveal all depends on what parts of the body are sexualized.
For example, there is a particular holiday celebrated by certain holy men in India where they go sky clad for a week. That is they wander the streets of Benares completely naked regardless of who sees them. That's ok because their nakedness isn't sexualized by themselves or others. Some sadhus renounce all clothing year round. So a western tourist to southern India may get more sight seeing than they intended... 0_o
In other parts of the world the only thing covering the nether regions are strings of beads or a small bit of cloth (or cod pieces for the men). Breasts are non sexual in nature. However, since the genitals are used for procreation they are covered up. That's usually the case world wide, regardless of culture or back ground.
I find it odd that legs here in the US are as sexy as they are...using my logic you'd figure American women would wear floor length skirts and loose pants more often, but it could be that they're just un sexualized enough for it to be ok to wear short hemlines and shorts in the summer...

The cotton banyans with outside shirt and t-shirts are the best wear during summertime.These wears are fascinating and will help to reduce the maintenance costs like ironing,frequently washing ,Banyans used for sweat swallowing etc.,.
