I am not dictating her dress. But I have EVERY RIGHT to express my opinion. I also have my right to my beliefs. I have a right to be sanctimonious if I wish. I know that you modern promiscuous sex-promoting anti-religious bigots feel that you can spew hatred of traditional religious believers with impunity, but then cry for censorship if any traditional religious believer so much as expresses his or her opinion. Frankly, dressing like Madonna or Britney Spears is a step backward for women. The sexual revolution had a victim, and it is women, since it freed men from any obligations to commitment. That's what I believe and what I will continue to believe. I am simply saying that this is not progress for women or for Afghanistan, plus it is unwise to provide propaganda for the Taliban, particularly since the new regime is not yet secure. But apparently the model dwells in the US and did it of her own accord, so there is nothing one can do about it. However, I still believe it unwise, and if she falsely acted as if she was officially representing her government, then that is dishonest.

Bikinis did not free men from having to "commit".

You have a right to be called sanctimonious, and wrong. By me.

Who is censoring you, anyway? Just mind your own dress, if you feel it protects you from your sin nature. (It doesn't.)

I wonder why you object to a woman revealing her physical body, that God did create. It is written that Adam and Eve were naked in Eden, only to find shame in their bodies after defying God, obeying Satan and eating of the "tree of knowledge". It is not God who finds shame in nudity; it is the influence of Satan and the initial defiance of God's commands that has brought about "prudishness".

BTW, rethink your statement that posters here are "modern promiscuous sex-promoting anti-religious bigots"

Your "shame" is your problem. Deal with it.

Careful what you wish for, you just may get it!

I'll ask you the question others in the "we're headed downhill" crowd always decline to answer. What year was the highpoint for women? In other words, we were going in the right direction until when? When did the downhill trend begin?

That is precisely why we should avoid even the appearance of kow-towing to their medievalism. Bring on the bikinis!

you modern promiscuous sex-promoting anti-religious bigots

If this is how you characterize those who disagree with you, don't be surprised that you don't have many allies.
