Modesty is a separate issue. A woman wearing modest pants still offends God, not by lack of modesty, but by dressing like a man. A woman wearing an immodest skirt or dress offends God less than a woman wearing a modest pair of pants.

Remember ladies, as long as you dress like an amish woman and don't speak in church you'll go to heaven!
Furthermore you know who never wore pants?
Jesus.

a) Pants weren't worn by either sex in OT times, so the Bible clearly isn't forbidding pants on women.
b) If you're going to complain about pants on women, why not complain about eating shrimp or touching a woman during her period or any of the other hundreds of nitpicking OT rules? Aren't you just deciding what you like or don't like first, then cherry-picking the Bible to try and make it look like it was God's idea instead of your own?
So a mini skirt, fish nets and a see-through blouse beats out Aunt Ethel's overalls. Hmmm, maybe that explains the Catholic school girl outfits, much holier than the plaid trousers the boys wear . . . except there's something there that seems to get Father Nelson's blood to boiling, now that I mention pants. But I digress, we were discussing women going to hell, anyway.
Yes, the thing about that whole modesty thing is... The more women cover up, the easier you lot get offended by what is still visible. It's why Victorian age people got offended by bare ankles, something that's laughable by modern standards.
Correction: by sane people's modern standards :)
So...how does this guy feel about emo boys wearing girls' pants?
Just curious, because when I start thinking it through using his logic, it just sort of blows my mind.
Blasphemina, that was just what I was thinking!
Their god is transcendental, eternal, and infinite: do they actually realise what those words mean? It means that our etire universe and all its space-time is unnoticeable. Where I put my cock, and what I wear occupies so infinitismal amount of time, that it would be a very strange deity worried about it.
But their god is strange, and as nosey as a mad woman, or a Welsh mam!
Does a kilt count as a dress?
And while you are at it, the wholly babble also says that women should not wear any gold in church, and should be covered or shorn (shaved head). So.....all women wearing wedding rings of gold are sinning. So are all women who do not cover their heads like the muslim women do, or shave their heads. Besides....your catholic priest wear dresses. I dont care that you call them "robes", they are designed as dresses.
I'm always baffled by the insistence by people like this that pants are exclusively "men's clothes". It's definitely true that in today's society, pants have become commonly accepted women's wear. And as for "tradition", do they not realize that women have been wearing pants for quite a long time? I mean, there are places where skirts are not only inappropriate, but downright dangerous.
Oh, I forgot: women should just stay home and just be decorative, right?
Picture below: women dressing as men. Harlots!

Yet, when the book was written the majority of people wore robes, tied at the waist.
So technically, by your logic, women wearing skirts are actually dressing like men so we should be wearing pants and men should stick to skirts.

Wow!
Your fantasy god have issue with what people is wearing? What a
fucked up dictator you are worshiping. I'm so fucking happy I never had to wallow around in middle eastern mythology and it's insane rules.
Besides, who the fuck wants to deal with a being so much into fashion? I mean, you do worship the god GAY after all so not surprised he is so onto fashion....
thank you for letting us know what god thinks about this important social issue. hey, while you've got him on the line, can you have him make that whole "marry the guy that raped you" bit a little clearer?
Astronauts... what about female astronauts? Wouldn't the stupid of trying to wear a dress in vacuum offend your pretend god more? Just asking...
And while we're on the subject, can anyone explain how Adam and Eve allegedly got kicked out of the magic garden because they were ashamed of being naked... but after that god has a problem with immodesty? WTF? Seriously?
I have this really weird image in my head... I picture a place, lets say, 2000 years ago, give or take...and I am so the coolest thing to happen to fashion... I just know a man can not go on wearing a skirt! He needs something else, something new.... what do we call that?
Oh dammit, the sexiest model I have is a ... wait for it... girl! And hot damn, she looks damn good in these new fangled pant type thingumybobs!
What came first? The invisible, pants-wearing-women-hating, God, or the drooling, mentally-fucked-up, half-witted, weakling, fundamentalist men who like to think they are superior to women and, when it comes to it, any non-superstitous people, whether they be women or men? Funny how the one has been made in the image of the others but frequently changes according to the geographical location, the time period and the cultural mores of the morons who worship it.
Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
I wonder if someone at Catholic Planet could explain why the long flowing robes the Pope wears aren't de facto dresses and so abominations to God?

There are even some in the middle east who want women to wear an eye patch, now, so that only one eye is visible. Even the burka isn't enough for them. Reminds me of an old joke about keeping an eye out for someone. heh heh heh
This is old, really.
I'm sick of you fucks and your "my way or the highway" universal dress code.
Fuck your god, if he actually gives even the slightest fuck about what people run around wearing he can kiss my heretical ass, because not a single other person gives a fuck about this anymore.
And I wonder, for the millionth time, why God made us naked in the first place, if he was going to be offended for such petty things?
> A woman wearing modest pants still offends God
I wouldn't call it "offensive", rather "obstructive".
Fashion is fleeting, and you just want to control what women are allowed to wear.
I doubt that you would tell a Scottish man that wearing a kilt is offensive to God, but you would have no problem telling me that I am offending God by wearing a pair of pants. Oh and to let you know, Army Combat Uniforms don't come with skirts for women.
I believe that the statements about wearing things that pertains to men and women only is meant to prevent people from having an ambiguous gender apearence.
ok... so.. by your logic these following scenarios apply:
1. when I ride a bike... to get somewhere because I cannot afford a car... I should be wearing a skirt so all the people in the neighborhood can see my cha cha and fat ass.
2. when I go to work at a fast food job... i should wear a skirt or dress so the hot grease from the fryer or the cooker can land on and burn the skin of my bare unprotected legs causing blisters and possible third degree burns.
3. should i decide to go jogging, do jumping jacks, the splits, or any other number of healthy arobics or fitness... i should wear skirts so my knees can get all scraped up or my legs bruised should i fall or trip... and so everyone can see up my skirt.
4. if i have to climb a ladder to pain my house or to put something up on my wall... i better wear a modest skirt or dress so i can modestly show off my modest under garments and vajay-jay to anyone who might pass me by underneath and happen to see.
Im sorry but REAL LIFE VS FASHION SENSE AND MODESTY disagrees with you. Life doesnt work that way! get over it. God knows we need to do what we need to do sometimes to protect ourselves.
Also... werent Adam and Eve created nude in the beginning? And God was OK with this. The balls in your court now. :D
@ Sacharissa's picture...
well theres ONE woman in that picture not wearing pants but wearing a skirt. Im assuming shes the only one in the bunch who went to heaven because of Gods strict "standards of dress code in faith"? XD
Personally, if I was God, I'd be more occupied with the Middle East, starving children, global warming, all that stuff... Honestly, what kind of deity worth his/her/its salt gives a flying crap about what kind of leg coverings his/her/its creations are wearing? I mean, unless humanity took to skinning babies and using them for pants or something, but short of that...
Weren't all people wearing long robes at the time when most of the Bible was written?
How many nudist camps have been struck by acts of God?
How many times have the Bible Belt in the US been struck by acts of God?
God seems much more pissed off about what's going on in the Bible Belt...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
