Do You Agree? Meagan Good Says It’s OK To Be a Swexy Christian

Meagan Good’s sultry Hollywood image has come under increasing scrutiny in contrast with the actress’s personal beliefs on celibacy and the christian union she just made with her new husband. Meagan obviously isn’t oblivious to the backlash that followed her somewhat controversial Burlesque bachelorette dance and in an interview with Just The Fab, the newlywed spoke on that criticism as well as the overall idea that you can’t be a christian and still in tune with your sexuality. Here’s a bit of what she had to say:

On her burlesque dance
“I almost didn’t do it because I knew there would be backlash but I can’t let people control my life and if God does not convict me about something or tell me that it is wrong… Regardless of what anybody thinks, I have a personal relationship with God. We talk and we speak and I don’t feel convicted about it and so I have to do what’s in my heart and I can’t allow people to manipulate my direction.  [...] I’m getting s[w]exy and all that but there is a way to do it, there is a classy way to do everything  and there is nothing wrong with being s[w]exy or having sex appeal and I think that I am definitely going to be someone who is boldly going to go out to the masses and be someone who say, ‘ Look! Women it’s okay to do this, that and the other’, because I don’t like [how] sometimes people who are religious will try and force everyone into a box and judge them.”

Her reaction to the criticism
“It really hurt my feelings when I saw some of the comments because Tia Mowry had did the cover of Vibe Vixen and she had an itty bit of cleavage and they like ripped her to shreds, [saying]  ‘We thought she was Christian….’

“She is a Christian, she loves God so because she showed some cleavage she loves him less? I mean, to me, it was like it’s not right and you know God gave us these body parts not to go and show everything to everyone but its okay to be s[w]exy and to be comfortable with your sexuality and I think there’s kind of a line that gets blurred and I’m very bold about speaking out about it.”

Yes she is. Sounds like Meagan’s bottom line is only God can judge me. Do you agree? Can sexiness and Christianity go hand-in-hand?

    I agree with Megan. I’m not going to walk around looking like an old hag just because I’m christian. Our personal relationship with God is not defined by what we wear but what’s in our hearts. Yes we should model christian examples, but those who are going to talk are going to do just that and most of them think the rules according to the bible only apply when it does not concern them.

    There is a certain way that you can look great without having to show cleveage. It can be done tastefully. You want to look decent not look like homey and a real old maid. You do want to please God by looking great without overdoing it.

    Most of those complaining have done a lot worse than dance. If people want to show how good a Christian they are they need to go and read John 8:7. Once you do, sit down and shut up.

    Ever since I found out Meagan was Christian, I liked her 1000x better. And I agree with her! Just because you’re Christian doesn’t mean you have to cover up from head to toe all the time, not engage in any activity that’s not church-related or evangelical, etc. If you do fall in that category, awesome! But if you truly are Christian, you can’t go around judging other people’s faith for the things they do and don’t do because YOU KNOW that you’re not blameless yourself and shouldn’t be judging anyone. God knows everyone’s heart…you don’t. So don’t focus on them, focus on your own walk with Christ and do what you feel a Christian should be doing because you don’t get the final judgment call — God does.

    Uh Megan! Stop while you’re ahead. It wasn’t long enough ago you were on the scene parlaying with Fidy and he subsiquently wrote diss verses about you. I’m glad you found faith, but ain’t nobody checkin on your Christian card. Please stick to acting (no ministering) and enjoy your marriage.

      all these “articles” about what a “holy roller” she is now seem to be leading up to something. is this re-imaging, is there some scandalous sex tape…like wut is it?

  • Angel

    I disagree with her completely…thats all im going to say.

    • Pivyque

      I would like to know why. I’m curious. :-)

  • dontdoit

    Lol at only God can judge me, that line seems to be making an appearance in a few posts. Now I will be looking for it like people were looking for Waldo and lol to myself :) .

  • TRUTH IS

    Cannot serve God & mammon (are there any christians in follywood?)!

  • Nope

    “the overall idea that you can’t be a christian and still in tune with your sexuality.”

    According to a lot of clinics and delivery rooms, yes.
