Are Pants Police A Healthy Thing ?

I know with the 2012 Presidential Election just getting heated up, that what I am sharing here may seem a little “off track” compared to being relevant and perhaps news worthy but I wanted to get this information out because as the national media continues to pay attention to the “larger picture “ of what they deem as national interest for public consumption, I am as usual, instead looking at the more detailed situations of what is occurring nationally as well as internationally. I like to address what is truly important and are the relevant matters of in the real world in which we live. This weeks topic regarding the “pants police” is an important American( and perhaps internationally as well) national issue and I only ask that you read on in my article as to see why.

Yes, as I mentioned, the “ Pants Police” are real. That's correct, the immoral-moral police have begun their decent upon all in the USA. Recently in New York City, a non-government group called Metropolitan Etiquette Authority has created and posted signs and implemented some sort of “a one-man manners squad” by hanging “Pull Up Your Pants” signs throughout the Metropolitan New York City Area. Young boys, teens and even men have been wearing their pants down low so that their underwear sticks out and apparently many people have voiced their opinion loud enough so that there are apparently moral police available to point out distasteful clothing styles. Cities around the United States have even gone so far as creating laws where if a person decides to hang their pants to low, that person can be given a ticket and later fined if found guilty. Sound scary yet ?

I gotta ask though is this a good thing ? I mean is someone who walks around with their underwear hanging out of their pants bad taste or is it really a criminal act ? I ask this because many people who “set the moral compass” of today's America are they themselves hypocrites regarding morality. How many legislators as of late have been sacked due to “sexting” ? How many judges/lawyers are caught driving while intoxicated, making outlandish rulings with no regards to the U.S Constitution ? While we would hope it would be good moral Bible believing Christians and or Jews that were setting the tone for such moral objections to such matters as “saggy pants”, In reality it is not those who have Biblical truth behind them that are making the moral objections and instituting moral authority over the clothing offenders as many would hope. No, the hard and difficult truth is that by and large unfortunately, we have immoral people in the USA that have made themselves the moral police over others when it comes to how we all are to live. Let's face it, we have some very sick minded people who will some how self-certify themselves telling us how to eat, sleep, where to go, how to and where to go, when to do in everything ! Is this healthy ? I mean as I mentioned earlier, the vast majority of these folks who tell us how to live our lives these days are they themselves hypocrites, involving themselves in all sorts of shady behaviors and do what they want, but yet get away with telling us how to live and pointing out our supposed “fault” while they do the most vilest of things imaginable.

By now In my article I must admit, I probably have many a Ron Paul and Libertarians jumping for joy over what I have written thus far but before those sort of folks begin signing me up for “Ron Paul for President” websites, let me clarify here that what I am writing about is not personal liberty alone. What I am saying is that there are many folks that are making judgment calls, who have also put themselves in authority over our lives that have learned from a source outside of God and the Bible and that makes it very dangerous for all our personal liberties. Anything decisions outside of the Bible will be sure to bring on disaster.

Even our American and many of our state's governments have “government agents” who are labeled “experts” in fighting a war against “criminals”and bad behavior but I believe at this point and time in our world, we need to ask the questions as to how people became to be called “criminals” or “bad behavior” in the first place? Was this a judgment that is from the Bible ? and what “crime” or “bad behavior” did they commit ? We also need visit the questions “Who made the laws that deems someone a 'criminal' ” ? and by what Divine Authority do people institute these laws labeling others “bad people“ ? If we now go back to the “moral police” I mentioned earlier, we can easily see they themselves have little to no morals. We also find that they only learned some sort of man made doctrine or theory in which they at some point also made up in their own mind that something “right or wrong” based on someone else's thoughts. Many folks inevitably deleted God from the equation of right and wrong, and now we are all in trouble. If you're looking for clarity to my point and statement, here it is; unfortunately in today's world to many people have been placed in authority that can for any reason come up with a law that deems anything illegal without reference to God and or the Bible. Saggy pants included.

Yes, I freely admit I'm against baggy pants and are a bad idea for many reasons. Should they be outlawed ? Well, I'll tell you what, when women who have their boobies hanging out of their clothes also have the same scrutinizing on the same level as the men with the baggy pants issues, then we'll talk. Bottom line though is this; I believe that the reason we are confronting these issues of immoral people making moral judgments for the rest of us is because the Body Of Christ, the real Christian Church still has their head in the sand and need to do as they are instructed in Titus Chapter 2. If the Christians would go back to utilizing and teaching the Bible, many in the world would not have to go through such wasted time in hanging ridiculous “moral” judgment signs. For those who are unfamiliar with the Bible or Titus Chapter 2: 1-8, Let me state this, God has a plan to help defeat much more than bad taste in clothes. He has a plan on how to help set healthy standards so that we will not need to listen to ill gotten advice from immoral and hypocritical folks like those of the Metropolitan Etiquette Authority.

Anytime, “man” gets a “bright idea” as how to tell the rest of the world how to live, we should all get more than “just a little nervous.” I highly suggest the Church gets out here and doing their job-as the Bible says so. We need God these days more then ever, not the government, drunk politicians, pedophiles, nor the mentally deranged telling us how to live.

Titus Chapter 2:1-8

“ But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. “
