So if I wear a skirt will I go to hell? What exactly constitutes female and male clothing? Some Pacific islanders wear sarongs, which look like skirts to me. Scots wear kilts, those are definitely skirts. Does God hate islanders and Scots? Should I stone to death the Scotish guy that lives next door to me? What about a woman that wears pants? Is she doomed to eternal hellfire?[[User:Prof0705|Prof0705]] 14:05, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

:Maybe the Deut quotation really means "thou shalt not ''borrow'' the garb of the other gender"? Since, by simple definition, any clothing I might own is a man's clothing, so I can wear it. But if a woman friend owns something, it is a woman's clothing, and I may not wear it. Even if it fits, and looks good on me. By the way, this (so far) is one of only three articles in the category "sin". [[User:Human|Human]] 15:19, 14 May 2007 (EDT)

::I guess it would depend on what is considered male and female clothing. Is the definition dependent on any particular culture? Are skirts of all kind feminine clothing? At one time pants were not worn by women, but they are now. So are women that wear pants sinful? If in 20 years sundresses are acceptable clothing for men can I wear one and not go to hell?[[User:Prof0705|Prof0705]] 17:29, 14 May 2007 (EDT)
