You don’t play competitive beach volleyball in a burqa. If some religion or nation forces their women to wear 7th century attire, let the world see the glaring contrast between a free nation, where the athletes decide what works best, and a nation/religion that does not embrace Liberty, and prefers bondage.

Here’s Why the USA Women’s Volleyball Team Refuses to Stop Wearing Bikinis

One can see women as sexual objects no matter what they wear. Lust is lust. Is the volleyball attire any more immodest than what the swimmers and gymnasts wear? Not if you haven’t crucified the flesh. How many perverts tuned in to see gymnasts in tight outfits contorting their bodies? Its NOT the attire, its the people watching with the problem.

If one is offended while looking lustfully at female athletes, it would seem some time in the Word, and on their knees might be needed. I would think preaching the Word, changing people’s hearts, might be a better use of one’s time rather than discussing proper beach attire and forcing people to change their clothes because some religious tyrant demands it.

The real problem with the notion of modesty is that its never objective. Many Christians can see scantily clad women and just appreciate beauty. On the other hand, some religious zealot may be enraged by the site of an exposed ankle. Thankfully, we have LIBERTY in Christ, and still live in a nation clinging to what little freedom remains. We can be individually led by the Spirit, who will do far more than any religion in directing Believers to walk in Love and the Wisdom of God. We don’t need a Roman version of the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
