Why is it so important to God that men and women dress modestly and distinctly different from each other? The reason is this: if you see two people walking down the sidewalk together, and they are both in pants, how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman? If you cannot tell at a glance from a distance, then you will keep looking until you know. Your eyes will be drawn to the differences in the way that God has made men and women. Those areas entice people to lust.

Fascinating, especially when you consider that, in the garden of eden, we were all naked and god told us to be fruitful and multiply.
Once again, "if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out". Nowhere does Jesus say "if thine eye offend thee, tell people to stop walking in front of it".
Two people walking down the sidewalk could be two men or two women. It could be a kilt-wearing man and a pants-wearing woman. What does it matter to you, anyway?
Does the Bible mention pants at all?
"Why is it so important to God that men and women dress modestly and distinctly different from each other?"
I think you'll find that people are generally able to tell the difference between men and women whether or not they wear pants. But, we know it is certainly true that nonexistent gods, particularly Bible God, have no idea whatsoever. Perhaps men and women in pants are as invisible to Him as He, in all His glorious and nebulous nudity, is to men and women. Maybe Bible God needs to wear a skirt, or pants, or maybe just a loin-cloth? Sorry, didn't mean to frighten anyone.
I know the difference, you dork, and so does any other sighted person with a brain. If you are preoccupied with lust and it bothers you, cut off your genitals, like Origen did, and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace.
The first time I ever met my wife she was wearing blue jeans. I knew instantly that she was a woman. If you're really having trouble determining who is a man or woman because they all wear pants, then you have serious problems.
With the idea of "being enticed to lust" I think they do have problems, mainly being frightened of their own sexuality.
how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman?
Dang hippies with all that long hair, wearing flowers and shit harrumph! It's gettin' so's ya cain't tell the boys from the girls.
*Ahem* I thought your god knows everything. And it's none of your beeswax, anyway.
You can't see the difference; not when everyone is a sexless android!
I plan to keep looking at men in pants (or no pants)& lusting after the hot ones, plus the one I live with.
It does not affect me in the least what other people wear-the only possible exceptions being boys with super baggy shit catchers & little girls dressed up like Vegas whores. I'm looking at you, Toddlers & Tiaras.
I can tell a man from a woman, even wearing very similar clothes.

And I don't even have to look at their junk to do it.

In the proper context. Otherwise they're just a part of the body. Unless you're one of those perverts that wants women to stop breastfeeding their babies just because it makes you uncomfortable.
"The reason is this: if you see two people walking down the sidewalk together, and they are both in pants, how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman?"
There are several not so subtle primary and secondary sexual characteristics that may tip you off.
This also doesn't explain why your god would allow what was, essentially, a dress as male attire for much of the time during which your Wholly Babble took place.
"If you cannot tell at a glance from a distance, then you will keep looking until you know."
And?
"Your eyes will be drawn to the differences in the way that God has made men and women. Those areas entice people to lust."
Yeah, because people are completely incapable of fantasizing on their own.
Please, feel free to look at me and my girl until your eyes bleed. I wasn't aware you needed help with identifying sexes. Also, you seem not to be in control of your sexdrive. That's ok, just masturbate every couple of days and see a therapist, there is always hope.
And no kindly fuck off.
"The reason is this: if you see two people walking down the sidewalk together, and they are both in pants, how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman? If you cannot tell at a glance from a distance, then you will keep looking until you know"
If God is supposed to be 'omnipresent ', then it wouldn't make any difference about what the person looked like on the outside ; it's what's on the inside that counts, is it not...?
Therefore your so-called 'God' would instantly update - via neurological methods - all his followers, so they'd know immediately.
Or are you just miffed at the thought of being inconvenienced in this way; or a case of you thought a certain character in the videogame "Guilty Gear" looked hot, fapped to such, then only realised too late...?! >:D [/'Dropped A Bridget On Him']
"..if you see two people walking down the sidewalk together, and they are both in pants, how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman? If you cannot tell at a glance from a distance, then you will keep looking until you know..." Loss of logical capability. If you do not know one is a woman, you will not be bothered looking - if you are a straight man.
OTOD, the female shape does tend to differ from the male somewhat, or hadn't Liberty noticed? Can one be that idiotic and not be brain-dead?

Why is it so important to pissants like you to pretend to know the answer?

Which one's a guy? Which is a gal? Gee! I can't even tell! (sarcasm)
Just because you feel lust if you look at a person too long, doesn't mean everyone does.
In fact, that indicates that you are the one with the problem.
If it is so important to God, the omnipotent, omniscient, omni-benevolent God could have made people immune to "improper" lust... but he didn't.

Why do you care?
Those areas entice people to lust.
So should people arrange their lives so that they never tempt others? Should I drive an old car so no one is enticed to car theft?
"Blahblah...modesty...bladblah...women in skirts...blah...."
ORLY?
It's not like a schmuck with mirrors on his shoes can't stick his foot beneath a lady's skirt to check out her pretty-pink-pantied neither-regions! He can't do that with pants!
If you're obsessed with female modesty, you should clamor for gals in pants.
(perhaps there's an ulterior motive to this madness....they want to look under skirts....pervs!)
ima revise jesus a touch, because i think it needs to be done:
"But I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
And, also, if everyone in eyeshot has to dress a certain way so that you won't start frothing at the mouth, then that counts too."

If you can't tell men from women you should probably get your eyes checked.
If you cannot tell at a glance from a distance, then you will keep looking until you know.
Not usually, but even if... uhhhm, So?
Your eyes will be drawn to the differences in the way that God has made men and women
And?

Here we go... Because you guys are drooling lust buckets and cant keep yourselves from eye fondling other people's naughty-bits, doesn't mean others have the same problem.
Most of the rest of us find it *easier* to tell the difference at a glance between males and females the less clothes someone has on. If he thinks dressing more modestly makes it *easier* to tell the difference then he needs some basic biology lessons.
If anything, I'd imagine crossdressers would have an easier time "passing" in a society where people dress modestly all the time.
Yup. Pants completely obscure feminine facial features, hips, breasts and overall size.
Wait... no they don't, this guy is stick his dick in a blender stupid.
If you can't tell the difference between a woman wearing pants, and a man wearing pants, I suggest a good optometrist, instead of buy bull bullshit.
"Why is it so important"
It isn't.
And if you don't cover furniture legs, it might start people thinking about legs and what lies between. So start putting dresses on all your furniture, before it's too late!
The Victorian age ended a century ago. Please update accordingly.
>The reason is this: if you see two people walking down the sidewalk together, and they are both in pants, how do you know which is the man, and which is the woman?
Gee, umm... I don't know, the body and the face, I guess.
Seriously, unless you have the unfortunate job of identifying the gender of Asian pop-stars, this should not be so hard.
holy shit. i know this hinges on god exists, but this is both not circular, AND a coherent argument. im impressed. its still religion based misogyny, but still.
Aren't we the superficial bitch? How about, instead of looking at their pants like a weirdo, look at their FACES. Those tend to be big indicators if gender. If you still can't take a hint, just don't care. Easy as that.
Wait, stop. You're saying that you don't like non-gender-specific clothing because it emphasises sexually dimorphic features?
So female-specific clothing doesn't emphasise female features? Cause I'd have to disagree quite heavily there.
With 99.99999% of people you see on the street, it's pretty obvious which gender they are, and even if you happen to cross the path of someone so androgynous that you genuinely can't be sure of his/her gender, it still doesn't matter. To quote the wisdom of Commander Badass :
"Look, way I figg'r it don't matter worth two shits what a person got in their pants if y'aren't plannin' on gettin' in there. Is that a concern of particular relevance t'you concernin' [this person]?"
And a bit of lust is a good thing. You just need to combine it with a modicum of self-control so that lust doesn't dominate you.
Unless someone intentionally made themselves androgynous, you shouldn't need to ogle them to work out if they're male or female.
Why would you care so much whether someone was a man or woman anyway? It might be annoying if you can't tell, but should be over that in, being generous, about 5 seconds.
@Blue the Thief: ...the Frollo gif is astonishingly appropriate for this thread, given the whole "blame everyone else for my boner" thing that character had going. Seriously, whenever I see someone talking like this I legit picture Frollo.
Well, there's body shape, how they walk, breasts and facial features. I'm not gonna say hair mainly because my best friend, a guy, has longer hair than my girlfriend.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
