I just think that our nation ought to revise its laws in order to prohibit women from dressing in a revealing manner. They shouldn't show any leg (certainly not above the knee!) and they shouldn't reveal any cleavage. If I wasn't a man subject to his natural desires, I would feel sick to my stomach every time I saw a lady dressed in an ungodly manner.

Matthew 18:9
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
The other Deacon Fred quotes made me wonder whether this was a parody or not.
After this one... well, the jury's still out...
If you've seen the video sermons by Deacon Fred of Landover Baptist on YouTube, you'll know that this is the way he talks. The expressions like "sick to my stomach" and "lady dressed in an ungodly manner" are very typical of him. And do you really think that a Christian fundie as mad as this would be able to write this in such a grammatically correct manner? I doubt it.
Funniest is that, according to Genesis (Adam and Eve), the more you reveal... the more godly you are.
Please, Deacon, don't attribute your hangups to your Gawd.
I would love to meet an enforcer of this "law" face to face.
Some ladies dress in Goddess-like fashion. By definition, I guess that makes them un'god'ly.
Yeah, that last part is difficult to parse.
Only if you wear a burqa as well.
And last time I checked, most straight guys find looking at scantily clad women pleasurable.
Move to Iran, or Saudi Arabia; you'd feel much more at home.
Also, thankfully we have constitutions and the like in place as to prevent dimwits like yourself from creating Theocracies. Of course, doesn't stop you lot from trying, sadly enough.
@MrBadAxe Yeah,the Bible is loaded with quotes that contradict fundamentalist viewpoints. Here's a site that points out that, by definition, the Religious Right are not Christians: http://www.liberalslikechrist.org/index.htm
If it's the same Deacon Fred of Landover Baptist, then I call Poe. His Landover site is an over the top parody of fundies. Check it out sometimes.
I just followed the link to the original post and it would appear the good Deacon has gotten himself banned from Christinalinks. Perhaps they saw through him?
Deacon Fred? The same guy as the Landover Baptist Deacon Fred? This and ANYTHING from him is a Poe, Landover Baptist is just a big parody site. Freehold, Iowa is a fictional town, and what fundie church would advertise WWJD? thongs on their site? Don't believe me? Fred posted this later in the thread: "Yes, and my marriage is blessed because I make sure that my wife is in her proper place below me (preferrably at knee-level)."
How anyone can compare DF's proposed dress code to the awful tyranny of Muslim dress is beyond my Christian comprehension. Get real, people: our society has gone to the gams.
A rollback to long skirts, "granny skirts" of the 1970's, or the womens' wear of the 1910's would be GOOD for cooling off the thug muckers ruling popular music, damaging our youths, making them "gangster" woman rapers.
This is America not Timbucktoo.

I know that. The point is that his original point is correct. I stand by my comment in bold above. It's all in the bible, you atheist beef jerkies: modesty in dresss promotes respect and restraint and helps to preserve marriages, and all that. It won't cure the homos or the corrupted adulterers, but if we had less porn on main street, we would have a stronger America. As Europe goes Godless, we must countermand, and upscale our battle for common sense, for consensus that the Lord's way is right.
I do not like to berate. I am really a gentle man at heart. Please forgive if you can this harsh rhetoric. I'm done.

Funny that, the most godless (=secular) nations in Europe oddly seem to quite consistently have higher life expectancies, lower maternal/infant mortalities, less poverty/homelessness, less violent crime, better educated populace, fewer teenage pregnancies; indeed better results on many of the markers commonly used to gauge the general well-being of a society.
And women in those countries still walk around with skimpy skirts and small tops whenever they feel like it. Something doesn't quite add up here. Gee, wonder what it is.
Even if he is fake, Does that mean as a male I'd have to cover up too. If women do have to cover up can they at least wear spandex?
@Jim, godless europe ever been to Italy, Jesus is quite big there?
And what if I am above lust. My girl dresses sexy for me and I her if someone can not control themselves and looks at us then they need to be a stronger person I still see no need to cover up.
Also that website looks awesome.
Or just move to Iran. No uppity wimmin showing skin there!
[EDIT] And poe or not, there ARE those out there who believe this. Bro. Randy, anyone?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
