Jesus wore sandals. I also notice religious people getting offended about almost anything on this forum. Do they have longer toes, which makes it easier to step on them?
In all my question I've always tried to use disclaimers and non-offensive words. Yet, still people manage to take offense.
I don't truly care they take offense, don't get me wrong. I just wonder what causes it. And I wonder if you realise that taking offense so easily is ruining a very valuable forum.
And I know, also atheists get offended, I'm not blind. I just wanted to use the sandals-metaphore. But this question is of course meant for everybody.
In other words: What is left of the meaning of a Religious section, when every question needs a long disclaimer in order to prevent people from getting offended?

Jesus may have worn sandals but most Christians I know wear shoes - maybe they don't like them getting scuffed. People who wear sandals tend to have healthier feet
I know what you mean. If you leave out a "most" or "some" people get bent out of shape and all you get are answers about generalizations. They would rather pick apart the question than answer it. Really if you know what someone means just answer the question and don't worry about nit-picking. So what if someone doesn't agree with you - this is the real world and life is like that.
Of course the exception being typos that totally change the meaning of the question, especially if they are funny. they are fair game.

There are other reasons apart from fashion to wear sandals, you know... sandals are much more comfortable and healthier than closed shoes; in fact closed shoes, ill-fitting shoes and heels are a major cause of feet looking awful in the first place. People who don't have pretty feet still have the right to be comfortable; would you require people who have acne to wear a mask?

I have spent years pondering this enigma! sandals might result in longer toes because I knew of a bloke who wore them for years and eventually found that he could play the piano with his toes.
