So, who's going to reach the sub culture of green haired, pierced people. If being dressed in a shirt and tied accomplished that mission they'd all be mormons by now.

Its not about focus, its about conscience. If what I wear is causing my brother to sin, I need to be aware of it and act accordingly. But if the stumbling he experiences is merely that he is judging me as less than correct that's his stuff, not mine. He needs to get the judgemental log out of his own eye first. Otherwise, we're reduced to the lowest common denominator and can't offend anyone ... I believe they call it political correctness out in the world.

I remember the stories of the Indians in Oregon being made to wear suits and forbidden to speak their native languages in order to make them "good Christians" this mentality is alive and well.
