A friend of mine commented on a
facebook page today - a xian radio station in Nashville. The gist is, that they
linked an article by a xian blogger, who decides she will no longer wear leggings or yoga pants outside of her own home. Primary reason is because
her husband told her that "it's hard for him not to look at other women wearing the tight athletic wear." So that's when she decided not to wear them outside the home and if she was wearing them at home, her shirt must be long enough to cover her bum. Because "it will honor her husband and god, and teach her daughter that her value is not in the way her body looks or how she dresses, but in the character and personality God has given her."
So then I'm following the discussion on the FB page and this comment is made. Really?
Similar comments are made in response. I don't get it. I never have, even when I was religious (and raised in a Pentecostal minister's home) - every little thing was cause for great fear, that a person would lose their salvation over every little thing. It never seemed like faith to me - it just seemed like fear. I never understood why faith was simply not faith and why people could never seem to be content to live in their faith, without such fear and worry.
