The definition of "MODESTY" varies from culture to culture, religion to religion.

I'm a Muslim wearing the hijab. I did so because God said so. God knows that (most) men R too weak to look away when they see a woman in tight fitting clothing/shorts...ect. If U R in a country where all women are covered (face should not be covered) then men will not have wondering eyes that might lead to a film going on in their minds. Jesus (pbuh) said a man should not lust after a woman. We both agree on this area.
I am happy being covered. I don't care what others think.

Hey Bruce: I find it hard to judge people on how they dress or don't dress. Who are you\we to say what is right or wrong. If some women wish to dress provocatively then that is their right. As a free society, we set the laws and the morals that we wish to live by. It is unfair to generalize women in the way that you did. You cannot lump all people under one catagory (IE: Why don't women wear more modest clothing) Not all women dress trashy nor modestly, believe it or not most dress conservatively! I believe that we should live and let live, and if we do not cause harm to our fellow man then we are living the "right way"

I am Jewish, and I only find it difficult to wear modest clothing in the summer, when the weather is warm.

I am not Islamic or Jewish. I am a Conservative Anabaptist Christian, But I dont find it hard to wear a covering and Cape Dresses. We need to follow what the bible tell us or else we arent really Christians. The bible says Faith with out works is dead.

Jesus Christ, who is God, became the one and only sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. - Jesus is God and there is one, not many paths that lead to God - Jn.3; Jn.14:5-6; Acts 2:21; Acts 4:12; Rom.10:10; Cols.1:20-22; Cols.2:13-15 After we die we go to our eternal reward of heaven or hell. - Salvation is not thru reincarnation or in living a pretty good life. - Whether we put our faith in Jesus while we lived on earth determines our eternal destiny. - No second chance after we die. No purgatory. When we die our destiny is sealed for ever. - Matt.3:12; Matt.25:41; Heb.9:27; Rev.20; Rev.21:27
According to Matthew 7, there will be those who stand before God and call themselves Christian but God will say "depart from me I never knew you". They were not building their lives on a Christian foundation or worldview. They were only Christian in name.
I can not pick and choose which parts of the Bible I will obey if I want to be a follower of Jesus!
A new generation of Christians are buying into the lie that you can be a Christian and pick and choose your values based on your own preferences instead of the absolutes of scripture.
Biblical absolutes, logic and reason are out of style and tolerance, choice and preferences are in.
This shift of worldviews has a great impact on our lives and church.
At one time the word "intolerance" was used for things such as racism but today it is being used against anyone who questions another person's values or belief system.
In the new worldview everything is relative. There is no right and wrong beliefs. There is no objective set of absolutes other then what the individual of community chooses.
The new measure of morality is "If it doesn't hurt anyone it is ok"
Of course this is all based on a lie. All sin hurts not only the individual but those around them and the very fabric of a society.
Anyone who claims to have absolutes is viewed as the new radical fundamentalists of society.
The scriptures, not the preferences of man are the basis for truth and so we have both authority and responsibility to speak and share our faith.
Ezek 3:18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
The universal truth for all cultures and peoples is written in the Bible:
John 14:5-6 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
What have you decided about Jesus?
Have you embraced not only Jesus but his teachings? Are you living a biblical worldview?
Are you walking in obedience to the absolutes of His word as the authority in your life for the decisions you make?
If not, according to the Bible, you really don't love Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:15: "If you love me you will obey what I command". In other words if you love Jesus you will live by a Biblical worldview.

It's natural because you feel comfortable in them. You don't feel like people are staring elsewhere because you are wearing loose clothing.
I feel strange if I don't wear my hijab. It makes me feel really good about myself and happy that I am making God happy.
When nuns dress modestly people think she is giving herself to God but when Muslim women dress modestly, people think she is oppressed. Does that make sense? It's doesn't to me. I dress modestly for myself because it prevents evil eyes and helps me feel safe and also comfortable.

Uh, there's a difference between "Islamic" and "Jewish." There's also a difference between modest clothing by choice and oppressive clothing by force.
Please don't confuse the two.

sometimes its hard..... when ppl are rude. but most of the time it makes me feel wonderful.
it's kind of empowering to feel as like i know i'm attractive but it's hidden and it's mine alone. when ppl are nice to me or when ppl befriend me it feels twice as good as before i wore hijab b/ i know they truly care for who i am. modesty is a beautiful gift we have been blessed with
peace and blessings to all

You don't live near Jew. We are Jews. My daughter just came home in a tank top and mini skirt. She looks great. These things are the normal clothes of her group who are Jewish too. Orthodox women dress modestly only
