Post #130 has a smaller version.

Blimey, what a fuss over nothing. I actually thought they would be in bikinis or something, not just relatively short dresses/skirts.

You stand on any high street in the UK on a Saturday afternoon for 5 minutes and you see at least 30 girls dressed like that. Mountains and molehills spring to mind.

Why ignore it. Why should you being a Christian stop you finding someone attractive

i was once told by a christian friend that the bible is "full of sex, drink" and something else thats completely left my mind, but also which many christians condone, and believe doesnt happen.

What worries me is when someone chooses the subject "Racks and Pins" for the POTW. Time to hide then I reckon.

Ah Religion, ban it all I say!;)

I really can't see why people are getting worked up over it. The last time I looked we live in the 21st century where women as well as men have the feedom of choice and the freedom of expresion to wear what they like. There ia no need to be confused about their chioce as it is sweet FA to do with anyone else.

Well, if you want I can explain my beliefs on the subject based on religion.

I wasn't being sarcastic, by the way.

Might be the only way people will listen.

while we are on the subject of being a christian and sexism, shall we mention the fact than many christian denominations forbid woman from leading prayer?

I am easy, if it makes you feel better, go for it.

Alright.

Christians are obviously attracted to each other. The Bible says that marriage is right and sex is fine inside marriage.

True attraction is not really based on external appearance. It is based on personality. (Obviously there is a biological side to it that tends to match the males to the females.)

Sex is, however, not for outside marriage. And it is not to be cheapened.

In my opinion, the photo cheapens sex, but sadly this is what you see everywhere in society today.

But there is no reason for them to choose to dress in such a manner, then pose for a photo, unless they were trying to give a certain sort of impression.

Perhaps it's what they enjoy wearing, or are people not allowed to enjoy things if you don't approve?
Who are you to judge them because of the choices they make anyway?

I wonder what Biggles take on this would have been !!

I think he'd have had a fit!
Then refuse to talk to some of us for being atheists :D

They are free to make any choice they wish. But it obviously sends out a sexual message.

Will people please stop showing a lack of respect for my religious beliefs.

I am not going to become angry.

No, you're interpreting a sexual message. There's a difference.

I'm referring to biggles, and his asking someone not to talk to him because they're an atheist, not to you.

.

far from it, if thats what you think fair enough, but perhaps your christianity is covering you up from the real world. this is everyday dress in this day and age. As your 13 i wont suggest going to a nightclub, but realistically 90% of girls in nightclub enviroments wear far less.

That doesn't mean that they're not doing the same thing.

To you it seems to pick out a sexual message, but to most of us it doesn't at all just shows two young women having a good time and doing some fun posing for the cameras.

People are not showing disrepect for your Religious beliefs as it is your own personal views. Myself i don't have any at all and the same as many others even though i have done a lot for the church.

But as 90019 said we had another person on here that put a bad light on some christians by ordering/ refusing to talk to anyone who is an Atheist.

Obviously, without sex, there is no further procreation of the human race.
Pretty much every single person who goes to a nightclub is looking for a life partner, they all hope to find 'the one'.
Many girls dress like this because they wish to attract a mate.

its current fashion trends, nothing to do with sexualisation. if you were a few years older you'd be understanding of the terminolgy you have used. I can assure you girls wear far less on every day life

Forcing the issue again I see. There is nothing obvious about it.

Maybe it sends a sexual message to you but it doesn't to me. The reasons are explained above.

So people try to attract people to spend their life with by sex appeal?
(Don't bother following up on that comment, I know it's sadly true.)

I know that is not how I would want to find someone who I would marry.

And someone cannot be found that way?

No disrespect intended towards you here, but in a couple of years (if not sooner), then you will view that sort of picture in a totally different light, regardless of religous views.

Really? That's very much an opinion, not a fact. I and other friends of mine go to nightlcubs to drink, be merry and headbang to some decent rock and metal at indecent volumes. The fact that I met my long term partner at a club rather undermines my argument, but it didn't happen through intent on the part of either of us!

I don't think any non-religious married couples think sex is the be-all-and-end-all, which you seem to be implying.
