I keep seeing stuff about that blog post by Veronica Partridge and now that follow-up article by Ashley Dickens. So many Christians have been outraged by Dickens' article.
I agree that modesty is important, but I also agree with the Dickens that there are other, larger issues at play that Christians do avoid. I think the author may have been too harsh on the woman who wrote the original article, however, as she never intended it to be widely read or discussed. However, I do find it ridiculous that the post was as popular as it was when articles about some of the topics mentioned in the Dickens article barely even get noticed in most Christian communities, let alone get discussed and argued about with such great intensity. And that's not to mention how few people read about a serious issue and actually do something about it.
While I do wear yoga pants, I don't have a problem with the original post. Yet I do agree with this writer's point that there are far more important unresolved issues in this world that far too many Christians would prefer to ignore while they focus on issues they think they are responsible for, such as whether or not to wear yoga pants. But as Christians, we are responsible, whether it involves us or not whether we caused it or not, we are responsible for the pain and suffering and the damage in this world.
I think the main thing we should take away from all of this is that arguing on the internet isn't doing anyone any good, and it never will. If we mean what we say in all of our angry posts and comments, then why don't we get out there and do something in the world?
