Why religion cannot make its mind up about nudity

[Desk trauma]

So if I entice a drunk to drink then its all his fault?

Yes, people are responsible for their actions.

Why would a Godly women want to entice me with her body anyway?

Being neither of those things I can only guess.

Hypothetically, Im a young Christian man trying to stay celibate and the women dress like prostitutes. Why are they not trying to stay celibate as well? Why are they concerned with enticing a young man with lust?

 

[soldier of light]

Yes, people are responsible for their actions.

You don't know what scripture teaches about love it seems. You don't put stumbling blocks in people's way. Paul said that's not love.

I understand that but it makes no sense to argue against someone who is not arguing with you.

You posted your opinion I responded, if you’re wanting to post your opinion but are not interested in people disagreeing with your views I would suggest blogging with the comments turned off.

I started the thread, since I don't think neither of you did.

Not counting sins, but reconcilling

The gospel message is GOOD NEWS. 2 Cor. 5: 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from...

Wanting to be beautiful is lust. If it were normal then everyone would be beautiful but they're not. Also the men who who have lust in their heart look at you. Why entice them?

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.

Flaunting beauty when people struggle with lust is like putting drugs in an addicts face. I'm not seeing how it's holiness or love.

Exposing yourself or another to drugs is a choice you make to influence your environment or the environment of another. You finding somebody beautiful is your personal visceral response to another person. They can’t control how you find them and it’s not up to them to comport themselves in a way that you won’t find appealing because you don’t want to reframe your thoughts or your behavior.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Yes, people are responsible for their actions.

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.

Why do religions tell us to cover up? And how has this affected the way we value, judge, and sexualise our bodies in the modern world?

Have a listen to this podcast episode, it's very interesting.

Shame of self predates religion.

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