This post was 'inspired' by the several religious constraints attached to dressing. Well, I don't know about men but women suffer the greater part of it. Fine, you must be properly dressed to signify your religion but I must say some religions are going over the edge (permit me to say that).
For example as a christian lady, there are various clothes you should not wear. I won't mention the churches which support this system but you all know them (I guess). Don't wear trousers, no jewellery, no makeup, no piercings, no this, no that. I have come to realise one thing in life, all thanks to my school. Your relationship with God is a personal thing. It does not matter if you wear the longest skirts or the biggest ear rings, so far your heart is in correlation with God' commandments and you have a cordial relationship with Him, these do not matter.
Don't get me wrong. I am not supporting wearing of trousers or jewelry neither am I condemning it. What I am simply saying is you should have the freedom to wear what you feel like since you have the freedom of religion. I believe you should dress moderately, dress in such a way that people won't ridicule you or the church you attend (a lot of people do that)
The funniest part of everything is that Men can wear and get away with anything. Nobody is bothering them about piercings, makeup(yes, some guys wear makeup. Google it) and the rest. It is just very very funny. I really don't understand this part of the religion we practise.
Not just Christians, even Muslims. A typical married Muslim woman must wear a robe from head to toe, wear socks, veil...you're practically not seeing anything. According to what I heard, it is to protect her from other men. Actually, most men that practise this have the most beautiful wives. But then, you know what? That does not stop her from cheating on you. She's human. If you wish, tie her to a pole at home; she'll still cheat on you. I am not by any means saying women are not loyal (of course we are). But religious constraints are just so killing.
What has religion got to do with attitude? A lot my dear. A whole lot. I don't know about the Qur'an but the The Holy Bible says 'Be gentle as a dove and wise as a serpent' Your religion should shapen your attitude towards yourself and to other people. We all know how annoying it is when people make comments like 'But she's a christian' or 'And he calls himself an Imam'.
Attitude is everything and it speaks a lot about you even before you open your mouth to describe yourself.
Be wise!
