Why would God be irritated or upset with something He created? It's more improtant to understand the true intention of God's words than implement a literal meaning.

What God really prohibits is the use of sexuality to take advetage of other people what dwindles down to basic morality.God prohibits somebody from using hers boobs or legs to sell you a car or a house or a makeup. God prohibits you from not controlling your urges - from fooling around - what could harm a friendship between your spouse and the friends or leave any kid without both parents.

God doesn't care about any dress code. God cares about your actions and intentions. If your behavior doesn't harm other people you can dress whatever you want. However, if you intentionally using your body to lure other people - married or close family friends or get involved into extramarital affair - then you harm other people what truly bothers God.

 Just don't harm other people. Your actions can't harm God anyway.

I have to admit when I am at work I wear trousers and boots because they are comfortable and I wear 3/4 or long sleave tops because they look professional and therefore good in the workplace. I also do not wear tops that show my cleavage. None of this is related to my religion (I am christain-no particular brand) but it just makes good business sense.

On the weekend in summer its singlet tops and shorts because Aussie men are so used to seeing womens body parts  they barely look any more.  

I don't know much about the Koran (Qur’an) But if I know my Bible correctly, Clothing wasn't God's idea when he made us. It was man's idea, interpeted in many ways by various reasons. God warned them not to go into the garden of Eden. Eve taking a bite of the apple, Some say the snake was the devil and that's why she took the bite of the apple. she coaxed Adam into the garden to eat the forbidden fruit. Some say the apple gave them knowledge of right from wrong. Others say it is because they had sex and they hid their naked bodies when God spoke to them and asked them why they covered themselves.

So, wouldn't you say God was displeased on two counts? (1) they went into the garden, (2) They covered themselves because they were ashamed to be naked, The way God originally intended them to be. Intentionally  covering themselve and ashamed of the beauty he designed.

For a woman to cover everything except her eyes is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard of in any religion and I will have to check in the Koran to see if God (Allah) made them wear clothing.  

@Aussie:

For Muslims, life and religion are not mutually exclusive. How we conduct ourselves in our worship, as well as with fellow human beings, is shaped by our faith. Thus, if we look a certain way when outside, whether at school or work, it is not to shove it in someone's face, but merely an expression of who we are.

@Lord Izet:

It's pretty presumptuous to say what God does or doesn't care about, or to say you could understand His intentions. God has commanded certain things, for our own benefit. Then, He obviously gave us free will to act as we please. If we go by our intentions alone, Man could kill and bomb, and claim to bring freedom and liberation.

@commonsense:

I don't know about the Bible, but the Quran certainly does not say God was upset at humans attempting to cover themselves. In fact, He says in one place in the Quran: "O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness — that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember. O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts."[Quran 7:26-27]

Here, it is clear that Islam cares about modesty, inside and out. So, it is not only that we are to cover ourselves and, at the same time, disregard virtue of the heart. Conversely, we cannot neglect to dress modestly, and proclaim only to be good on the inside.

@ghostrider:

You seem to have a good understanding of Islamic culture and the viewpoints of Muslims..Y@H

So, the bible says one thing and the Quran says another. To look at it logically, they are just storys different men thought up and wrote in a book. The book writers are the one's who started the religions. Who was around to write about it when God/Allah  made Adam & Eve. Who was around to know if they hid themselves or if God/Allah told them to hide in  their bodies.

 Man believes what he wants to believe. All religions believe what someone wrote who wasn't around at the time. Faith is what you, yourself wants to believe. Not what some self proclaimed right hand of God/Allah wants us to believe.

Wouldn't it be funny if God/Allah was sitting back laughing at us all saying to himself. "You all have it Soooooo wrong!"

Nope, but thanks. The original posts under this heading are to specifically influence TDS writers to the importance of getting these topics on the air. Anyone can start this discussion in religion if they wish.

Within these walls its a political issue.
