Emma Watson's quote about modesty has raised the applause of Christian's as they've finally found a Hollywood star who would stand up for modesty. But does Emma really believe in modesty?
While Emma uses the word modesty, her heart doesn't seem to be there. This is revealed by the comment "the less you reveal the more they can wonder." Who can wonder? Her husband? Is this quote only for her husband? Because if she is talking about provoking "wondering" in anybody else, she has this whole game wrong.
You see she's not really endorsing modesty, but rather a different game strategy. Her ultimate goal is to get men to wonder, lust and want her. Something that is neither Christian nor something I would endorse. The idea of modesty is not necessarily about what skin one should or shouldn't cover - that's legalism. What it is about is, ultimately how can I best glorify God with this body that I have been given. Is it glorifying to God to get men to wonder? If you can't honestly say yes, then your heart is wrong in wanting that.
Taking the hard heart checks leads to the result of a decent amount of skin being covered, but the heart is following along with it.
