Does God want us to pull our pants up?
- Thread starter Spiderman
- Start date
God wants us all to go nekkid. This was his original design.
As for drug addicts and pants/trowsers; reasonable people dress for their situation. Soldiers in the field wear camo and body armor. I'd expect drug addicts to wear clothes that would minimize attention from police, and maximize their chances for flight/evasion.
Loose pants signal delinquincy, and will hinder flight. They might even fall down and hurl the wearer onto his face.
Loose pants are a poor choice for those likely to be pursued by police. But, of course, these people are all on drugs, so they're wont to make poor sartorial decisions.

Im not judging them, I just find it a distraction seeing their fanny.
I'm just wondering if God judges people based on how they dress.
God killed a guy in the Old Testament for playing pickup up sticks on Saturday.
God also killed a guy for steadying the Ark of the covenant.
The God of Scripture is very judgemental.
I could totally see him having an opinion on people sagging their pants, because he says all kinds of silly things bother him in Scripture.

Unless they have an excuse for sagging their pants.
I'm talking about when it is done intentionally.
It just seems to me like practically everything that humans do that isn't perfect, offends Yahweh.
He seems to chronically look for things to get angry about that humans do.
He's all up in our business. If it offends him, he doesn't have to watch or listen.
Maybe he should mind his own business. I'll try and take my advice.

Hahahaha!!!! This idea is dear to my heart!! Ares almost never has his pants(or underwear) up and often runs around mooning people(unaware he's doing so). I think it stems from a sensory issue. My husband intentionally sags his pants; he says its more comfortable. I don't know if it is or not! I wear skirts/dresses often, or salwar kameez, which has pants, but they're different for the wear than most Western style pants.
I guess it would depend on which God!

I never said you were judging them I was simply expressing my opinion on the topic
. I don’t think there’s anything necessarily divinely offensive about how someone wears their pants. Some people like the style while others just simply don’t have fitting pants.
Like any style one might dislike you don’t have to wear it, or can always look the other way.
God wants all to be modest, what that is depends on the circumstances.
I imagine Bhagavān likes dignity and self-respect in human beings. As a man of both, I don't walk about with my trousers hanging down. I once saw a man pulling up his trousers while walking in a parking lot. His significant other, who was walking behind him, rolled her eyes and shook her head.

I'm currently sagging my pants. They simply don't fit and I was too lazy to use a belt. Waaa!

I think one can still have dignity with their pants secured below their buttcheeks. I like what @Brinne said; its somewhat about style. I think we associate the style with thugs and addicts, but that isn't always accurate. My husband is a hard worker who takes care of his family, and is actually pretty morally conservative. One can't always tell what's on the inside by looking at the outside.

I think he would have made it a sin had it been a huge problem for him
Well that woke me up, fanny has a different meaning in the UK
Yeah, I was thinking of sending him a PM. You'd expect someone on an international talk board to be more aware of these lexical faux pas.

I learned something new today, too.
That "pants" are worn on the outside only in America?

It's hard to say what God wants. Maybe society should stop wearing pants, to dodge angering God with having them up or down.
