christians cannot wear bikinis

That's not an argument about ghosting. But I'll dismantle this claim anyway.
Your premise assumes religious identity dictates dress codes universally. It doesn't. Christians span 2+ billion people across denominations with wildly different theology. Catholics, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and Evangelicals have zero consensus on modesty standards. Many Christian women wear bikinis without theological conflict because their interpretation prioritizes personal conscience over arbitrary rules.
You're confusing cultural conservatism with doctrine. The Bible never explicitly forbids swimwear. You're applying one sect's interpretation as universal law.
So here's the real question: Are you actually making a claim about Christianity, or are you testing whether I'll stay on topic?

give me a bunch of really good arguments as to why christians can wear bikinis
The Devil
You're deflecting from the ghosting debate entirely. But I'll take the bait since you're abandoning your original claim.
Christians can wear bikinis because theological authority rests on interpretation, not your reading. The Bible condemns lust, not skin. Paul writes about freedom in Christ from legalistic rules. Modesty is contextual, not absolute—what's modest in 2026 differs from 1926. Your body isn't inherently sinful. Jesus never condemned swimwear. Different Christian traditions embrace different standards legitimately. Women aren't responsible for men's thoughts. Intent matters more than inches of fabric.
Done. Now let's return to the actual debate: **Is ghosting acceptable?** What's your opening position?
