[Further excerpt from long, batshit insane essay.]
I told her the truth from God's Word --It is a sin for women to wear men's apparel (Deuteronomy 22:5), and an even greater sin to wear immodest clothing that draws men's attention to the outward body, rather than to the inner heart (1st Peter 3:3-5). After I gave her the truth, she immediately became defense of the pants she was wearing by exclaiming, "So what? I don't think THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH WOMEN WEARING PANTS." I tried to show her more Scriptures, but she wouldn't be reasoned with. After talking with her, she said she had to leave for a church. A van then pulled up and I saw a bunch of women wearing PANTS!

I heard a similar point made by a pastor of a church I was supposed to do some data recovery work for. I showed up the next day in a skirt (I'm male, to clarify) I bought at a thrift store. He didn't dare say a word. By the way, did you guys see the google ads on this page?
Robert must be the most inattentive person I've ever seen if he just noticed women wearing pants. Or, perhaps even worse, Robert is *still* bitching about this just like he was when pants became a regular part of women's attire.
Dear Bob,
I live and work with people who believe this.
Since Mr. Stewart is upset that people don't wear gender-stereotyped clothing, let's propose a National Naked Day. (Oh wait, he only cares whether women wear the "wrong" clothes. Big surprise there.)
Ummmmm, what is very interesting is that this person is correlating women in pants with the rock and roll culture, trying to establish a tie-in to 'immorality'. I have a news flash, women in pants happened way back in the 1940's, Marlena Dietrich, and of course, all those women who went to work in the factories during WWII. Pants were far more PRACTICAL than skirts. Problem with this type of thinking is that it does not take into account all the rammifciations of today's socio-economic environment. These 'fundie' types feel that the only way is to abandon everything and live back in the theological stone age. I will agree that things may be getting a bit extreme, what with ultra-low rise pants, skirts that have 8-inch hemlines, and all.
"Anyone ever actually meet someone like this in person? It's got to be a surreal experience."
Typical Christian Legalism. I can't win my dog to Christ, so I will make up rules people will fail at in order to feel better about myself. There were people in Jesus' day just like this He did not get along with them either, they were called Pharisees!
Oh, for the love of god. Even if you had a point, which I don't really think you do, what's considered men's apparel or women's apparel is very time and place dependent. Women in India and Persia have been wearing pants for centuries.
Yeah, Zipperback, I was thinking about the MST3K "Pants Song" too... "Sing the praises of pants!"
So Jesus wore a dress? No one wore pants when he was alive.
But Robert J Stewart is perfectly comfortable for wearing womens knickers, because the bible doesn't mention that's an abomination - lucky they didn't exist back then.
"Napoleon, I'm willing to bet Robert's favorite pants are the ultra-tight shiny leather ones. Ooh, scary thought right there."-Anti-Gothnot need that mental image. Fuck. Those damn pleather things are an abomination, and to imagine them on someone... Fuck.
"You try fitting some on at Walmart and tell me that they fit." do fit! Also, i am a pretty princess!
"So if a woman wears pants she will grow balls and a wang?"
Oh, if only it were so easy :P
Anyway, PANTS!
Read this link. This guy is amazing. Listen mate, just cos you're not getting any right now does not mean you have to take it out on others. And if the girl was wearing pants and you noticed then surely that makes you worse because your the one who looked
I think the final part of Rob's post is missing...
After talking with her, she said she had to leave for a church. A van then pulled up and I saw a bunch of women wearing PANTS! After I had a good look at those tight, virginal asses I went and fetched my scatter gun and slaughtered every single one of those wretched whores so my brothers in Christ would not have to defile their eyes looking at them. However, one of the heathens started to groan and I promptly buggered her to death with the butt of my gun while praying for her eternal soul.
Ah. Found it.
0_0.....
Did someone else heard the psycho theme after reading PANTS!
Also, if you worry about shit like that while are people dying of hunger in the world, you have wayyy messed priorities dude.
Robert, calm down before you do yourself a nasty - and if it's any consolation, womens' pants are different in design from mens' pants. Which would mean that they are not mens' apparel, mmm?
Not that it matters, of course, and Deuteronomy can go and fuck himself and the camel he rode in on.
So this fundie wanted to force a law from the bronze-age onto a stranger he met on the street?
Thats the reason why "separation of religion and state" must be strictly enforced.
This guy didn't deserve to be argued with him, but rather arrested for harrassment.
Oh noes! Not teh PANTS!!!!!1ONE!!
I've been badgered about pants by fundies a couple of times. If it happens again, I might just strip them off and ask them which offends them more- my smiley face knickers or my boring old pants.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
