Marriage Is Not Just About Propagation

Marriage was ordained by God and it is clear in the Genesis account that woman was not create solely for the purpose of propagation of the race but for the outworking of man’s social relationship in companionship and love. …

The Bible clearly teaches that sexual union has purposes other than procreation. Indeed, Paul implies that frequent sexual intercourse in marriage is natural and indeed, advisable.

Liberals/Leftists Are Spoiled Brats

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child—miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.

Government Waste of Tax Dollars

Where does the U.S. Government spend some of the budget? A few years back, it gave an $856,000 grant to scientists to study how three captive mountain lions would perform on a treadmill. It took eight months before the animals were even "comfortable on the treadmill," followed by more research to determine that mountain lions "do not have the aerobic capacity for sustained high-energy activity."

Does this provoke YOUR thinking as to writing your Senator or Congress member with outrage?!? It should. This is nothing but corrupt politicians paying for votes.

Disobedience Can Be Freedom

You simply disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or what to say or how to behave, we don’t. We disobey the social protocol that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom.

Charlton Heston

Own Yourself

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened ─ but no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

Rudyard Kipling

Blessings or Miseries?

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent vice of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Winston Churchill

Greatest Evils

The greatest evils in the world will not be carried out by men with guns, but by men in suits sitting behind desks.

C. S. Lewis

Do You Deny It?

The fashion industry caters to pride, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, not purity and holiness. Its purpose is not covering the body; but sensually packaging or uncovering it.  The world does not deny this; why then do so many modern Christians.

The USA Is NOT Ready for War

It is often stated that the U.S. government is always prepared to fight the last war. In fact, our preparedness is worse than that. We are not prepared to fight even the last war. The U.S. government is prepared to fight only a World War II-style conflict.

Convictions vs Opinions

People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral.

Heinrich Heine, born 1797

Watch What You Wear

Being drawn to a person’s God-given beauty is one thing; having one’s eyes directed to another’s body by a sensually designed garment is another. While clothing does not have to smother one’s gender, any apparel designed to draw the eye to the erotic zones of the body cannot fill the requirements for Biblical decency.

Jeff Pollard, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America, pg.65

Are You Modest in What You Wear?

When we expose ourselves to one another in garments designed for sexual attraction, are we honestly preserving chastity in body, mind, and affections in ourselves and other?  Are we avoiding provocations to sin? Does this really qualify as watchfulness over the eyes and all the senses?

Jeff Pollard, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America, pg.60

The Purpose of Clothing

 The fashion industry does not believe that the principle purpose of clothing is to cover the body; it believes that the principle purpose of clothing is sexual attraction. This is the very opposite of Christian modesty.

Jeff Pollard, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America, pg.53

Dichotomy of Thought

To believe that a garment designed to eroticize various parts of the body is a thing indifferent manifests the dichotomy of thought…. Here’s what the dichotomy produces: men and women who would never dream of walking out the front door in their undergarments will parade their newly naked bodies publicly in swimwear.

Jeff Pollard, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America, pg.47

The Democratic Party is Racist, Through and Through

Like the Democratic Party historically, the left is racist. And it is so in precisely the way the word was always used — the Left believes in black inferiority. That is why leftists advocate lowering standards for blacks. That is why they advocate policies that always result in more blacks dying at the hands of other blacks. That is why they believe the state must take care of blacks more than any other group. That is why left-wing policies, from the Great Society to today, have destroyed so much of black life, especially its family life — and they don’t care.

Dennis Prager, A Brief Guide to Leftist Destruction.

When Nakedness Became Fashionable

Clearly the purpose underlying swimwear design was exposing human anatomy in a more sensual package. This could not be successfully achieved on the streets of the city. But in the name of recreation and especially sports, an amazing dichotomy of thought began to permeate our society. At the turn of the century, what was naked and lewd in the city was suddenly perfectly justifiable at the beach.

Jeff Pollard, Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America, pg.41

Swimwear Is A Form of Nakedness

Fashion designers did not view swimwear as simply functional garments with a specific use like overalls. They envisioned their creations as highly fashionable garments, and therefore designed them both to reveal and arouse.  What they clearly understood is that this new aquatic garment was merely a symbol of dress. This is why swimwear ultimately evolved into a form of nakedness thinly disguised as dress.
