(31,414 posts)It's no accident that the Christian sects which emphasize covering everything
up also think women's role is to be subservient to men.
Women are powerful, beautiful creatures. Look at art through history.
If you want to limit that power, be sure to cover up the beauty of a woman's
body and make her feel guilty for being created with such power that
life literally comes from within her.
The patriarchal dominated religions--Christian, Muslim, Jewish--that want women to be
subservient make sure that women are forced to cover themselves up.
So this woman--Kim Davis--abides by some right wing dress code, but will not abide
by the tenets of her Apostolic Christian Church which INCLUDE being obedient to
government. Kind of strange, isn't it? Makes you wonder what else is going on in
her head.
For those interested, check out #17 in the Statement of Faith from the website for the Apostolic
Christian Church.
17. Governmental authority is respected and obeyed. Members serve in a non-combatant status in the military. Oaths are not taken, but truth is affirmed.
