I must be in a parallel universe. The one I’m used to puts up Joan of Arc or Mother Theresa as Christian role models for women, the other defends a young confused girl who gets naked for photo shoots and pumps up her boobs to DD’s to help her win a beauty pageant whose ultimate goal is the objectification of womens bodies at the expense of their hearts and soul.
Oh ya, I forgot. She came out against same sex marriage so that trumps all previous considerations...like modesty, humility, chastity. And the most obscene aspect is she keeps defending the nude pics (wardrobe malfunction? Huh? Give me a break) and the boob job as if those are acceptable Christian objectives as long as you can make a few bucks along the way.
Prejean doesn’t need to be condemned for this...she is young and confused, but she should not be held up as a role model and those Christians doing backflips to rationalize the events and spin them as mainstream Christian values need to take a long look at themselves. Prejean needs counseling, not congratulations and adoration.
BTW - Anyone out there who thinks this is some kind of plus for your issues is simply deluded, it is a huge loss. Prejean looks at best inconsistent and at worst vacuous, hypocritical and morally ignorant.
But, if this is the mountain you want die on, go ahead and immolate yourself.
Any one in modeling is modest. They are posing for pictures of their bodies showing products. Does this mean no Christians can be models?
Anyway, the point of supporting the kid is that she stood up and said what she believed even when it was politically incorrect, especially brave given her modeling profession. That did take courage and faith and that is a good role model for other young Christian people who are being harassed by the gay mafia.
