Jesus Loves Pants

Here is what I find scary about Christian fundamentalism.


Excerpts from Bob Jones University Dress Code:



Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style–not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted.


Hey, what's Jesus got against a little colour? And shaved heads are bad too? That seems like crazy talk.



Recreation and Work Dress

...


Dress Code for Women


Classroom/general dress consists of a dress or top and skirt; however, pants may be worn for some recreational activities. Shorts may never be worn outside the residence halls and fitness center.


Shorts are bad! They show the legs which are the devil's tools! Jesus loves pants.



Combat boots, hiking boots, or shoes that give this appearance are not permitted.


Hiking leads you away from campus where we can't control you. Better to not be tempted by wearing shoes that look like hiking boots too.



Hairstyles should be neat, orderly, and feminine. Avoid cutting-edge fads and cuts so short that they take on a masculine look.


I like girls with short haircuts. I met my wife when she had hair shorter than I did (and I was never a long haired hippy kind of guy). Having short hair does not give one a masculine look, but telling people not to have short hair does make one look rather loony.


I swear, its only a short matter of a couple years before the Christian Fundamentalists are as severe as Muslims in their dress and behaviour laws.
