I have always felt wary about an overgeneralization on the practical extent of modesty that is put forward by many, simply because ideas of what is modest will look VERY different to both women and men from New York City, Papua New Guinea, Saudi Arabia, and Polynesia. In its most basic sense, modesty is the proper check placed upon sexuality and hubris....but beyond that, its prescriptions are almost entirely cultural. The Bible cares far more about the state of the heart and the attitude of modesty over the length of a skirt or the coverage of a loincloth. <br /><br />Also, kudos for Calvin.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403455579293612939noreply@blogger.com
