Do you have evidence that your god commands this? Or do you simply take the word of a writer who claimed his words were divine and not hallucination, delusion or lie? Surely we have more evidence of these three human characters more so than we have of "divine inspiration."
Skin
As I recall from reading a long time a go
the Quoran was written in a time when men and women were naked and having orgies in the street.
It was told that women AND men cover their 'jewells', the rules in the Quoran are equally applied to men and women as far as I recall.
The fact that over the yrs this has been taken to an extreme by the women and men further used this 'rule' to oppress women is a statement of men and women and the decisions they make.
You mention superstition skin, are you aware most superstitions stem from real things but those things have been completely lost over time so that all is left is an 'irrational fear' or 'action' that is nonsensical in the modern changed world.
I mention circumsion a lot to demonstrate this point.This practice originated in Egypt as result of snake woprship. NOTHING to do woith Mohammed being born with no foreskin or any other bollocks. Little do all the religions who continue to mutilate baby boys today know they do so because snake worshippers wanted to honour the snake.
Perhaps what is needed in regards to extreme religious practices is a closer
examination of why the dress codes were deemed necc at that point in time
and whether in todays world they are still appropriate. Instead of sticking to them out of misplaced belief.
Note: Humans seem stuck on tradition, in the UK, barristers and judges still wear wigs and bat coats, why?
