What difference, really, does it make if I get to wear shorts or not? ARe shorts really worth fighting for? Or any of the other things? I'm not interested in how much I can do and not sin, I'm interested in staying as far away from it as possible!
Some seem to almost take pride in what they're able to do, not realizing they're headed for danger. I would just as soon stay from it all. I'm not missing a thing and filled with the joy of the Lord!

No, and I'm not fighting over them with you. 
I don't take pride in whatever liberties I have; you asked what my views were in regard to question #4. I answered as frankly as I could without second guessing or trying to over-explain why I think this or that.
