I'm going to say something and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. While at work today I noticed a lot of women shopping after church, which in it's self is fine. What I noticed about them though, was how they were dressed. Some of these women were hardly covered or wearing cloths so form fitting that you couldn't help but to notice. What I can't understand is why; why do women have to go to church (or anywhere, for that matter) exposing themselves for everybody so see? When we go to church we're supposed to leave the world outside and dedicate ourselves to worship. How can that be possible when half of the church (the men) is busy looking at women with lust and the other half (their wives) is busy looking with judgement? Who is listening to the sermon? Who's heart is set on worship?
Men aren't exempt from this either. I see plenty of them dressed to the nines, strutting around like peacocks and looking at their reflection in the glass in all the freezer doors. I hate to say it, but I think the Muslims, Hoscitic Jews, and Amish have it right to a degree. This might sound radical but if everybody dressed the same for worship it might lead to a more fulfilling and genuine experience. I'm not saying that woman should cover every thing but their eyes but if they all dressed much more modestly than they do and if men all wore a plain, inexpensive black suit there would be no gawking or strutting or competition. I just think that too much is put into going to worship, so much that it takes away from it and makes it unholy.
