Swimwear IS Immodest

…led me to examine modesty in general and then swimwear in particular. Why swimwear? Because Scriptural evidence convinced me that modern swimwear is immodest nakedness; and historical evidence convinced me that was designed to be so. After a good bit of research I discovered that the fashion industry employed swimwear to change public opinion about modesty. In other words, fashion designers used swimwear to undress America. And this is diametrically opposed to Christian modesty.

Mercy vs Justice

Too much mercy... often resulted in further crimes which were fatal to innocent victims who need not have been victims if justice had been put first and mercy second.

Agatha Christie

Christian Modesty Copies Pagan Immodesty

In past centuries, Christian peoples were often noted for their modesty, and heathen peoples for their immodesty. Today, the line between the professing Christian and the savage tribesman has become increasingly blurred, as more and more “Christian” people resort not only to the pagan practices of scarification, tattoos and body mutilation, but have thrown off the “restraints’ of modest dress in favor of the trendy and physically revealing. The result is that modern America has been publicly undressed. What is worse, Americans have come to think of nakedness as normal and acceptable, even preferable.

Cultures and Modesty

Cultures that worship nature and treasure sensuality tend to dress immodestly. Those which make an idolatry out of material possessions, often fall prey to a foppish enslavement to high fashion. On the other hand, cultures which embrace true Christian piety will seek to make personal holiness the driving standard for their dress codes. They will develop clothing which emphasizes biblical principles like distinction, functionality and modesty. In short, dress is not neutral.

For What Are YOU Destined?

Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason.

Voltaire 

The Need For Self-Defense

Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.

Augustine of Hippo (commonly known as Saint Augustine)

What Atheism Is

Atheism is an appealing, consoling delusion which includes the delusion of absolute autonomy, the delusion of lack of ultimate accountability, the consoling delusion of subjective meaning in an objectively meaningless existence, and the delusion of being more erudite than thou. (Atheists are the smartest, they are “right” and everyone else is ‘wrong.”)

Mariano Grinbank, "The New (Emergent) Atheists," M.C.O.I. Journal, Vol.15/No.1, Winter/Spring 2009.

Education?

Education, the great mumbo-jumbo and fraud of the ages, purports to equip us to live, and is prescribed as a universal remedy for everything from juvenile delinquency to premature senility. For the most part, it only serves to enlarge stupidity, inflate conceit, enhance credulity and put those subjected to it at the mercy of brainwashers with printing presses, radio and television at their disposal.

Malcolm Muggeridge, Jesus Rediscovered, pg.11

"Climate Change" Fear

So why all the fear of climate change spreading throughout the world’s religions? One cause is the disappearance of old-fashioned investigative journalism that keeps the public scientifically naïve. Scary headlines sell. Another cause is the globalist ideology that increasingly dominates climate science leadership. One prominent authority wrote: “The function of climate change [science] … really is not about stopping climate chaos. Instead, we need to see how we can use the idea of climate change … to rethink how we take forward our political, social, economic and personal projects over the decades to come.”

Charles Clough, “Religions Spread Fear of Climate Change—For No Good Reason.”
