short haired women keep angels out of church.
short hair on women and long hair on men cause angels to not operate the gifts of the spirit listed in 1 cor.12.
1 Corinthians 11:5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven.
what this means is women with short hair dishonor their husbands.1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. The unveiled part means short hair as found in vs. 15.

Unveiled means short now? Not, you know, without a veil, ie headdress? Well blow me down.
See, this is why you shouldn't trust interpretations of specific words in a text that has been through multiple translations and not proofread by the original authors. Translation is rarely a perfect process, especially in such a vague text which relies on metaphor and parables, as every translator will inevitably be inclined to use their own interpretation of them.
You idiot! Their heads were shaved as a mark of shame in those days! Can we not talk about honour killings!
Furthermore! No you stupid cow! A veil is a fucking veil! If you're not wearing a burkha to church you're dishonouring God and your head may as well be shaved! Don't lie like that! You probably think Jesus was white and all those other Evangelical lies - oh wait, religious lies are called HERESY!
I never really understood this one:that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."
So doesn't that mean everyone moves one place? If the woman becomes man, then she's not woman anymore? She's man. But then man is christ, so she's not man anymore. Christ is god then she's moved up another peg. Then what happens, does god become woman to complete the circle of life? Is this some sort of cake-a-walk? Oh, wait, you're hypnotized by the bible! I forgot, it's not supposed to make sense.
There were times (and, I think there is still a Jewish tradition) when once a woman got married she was required to cut her hair short as a way of showing fidelity to her husband.
And long, uncovered hair is supposed to attract angels, but it isn't in a good way. Get your myths right!
Nekhbet:
If you and your "husband" went into a church
the angels would explode. Lets try it, maybe they
will take out a few fundies.
Is the angel repelling power of short hair related
to the shortness of the hair? Will a shaved head
repell angels harder? Does the number of short haired women
have a cumulative effect? Does a woman with really long hair
counteract a woman with short hair?
Well, the angels must be a little morons, if they can´t see with so much cleared space. Besides, the cover refers to the veil, not the hair. And the head is metaphoric, in case you´re wondering.(This guy has no imagination, because it´s evil)
By the way, most icons from Saints I know and Jesus Christ himself have long hair. And many nuns and saint women had to cut their hairs for some reasons, hygienic ones sometimes. Aren´t you a little stuck in social 20th century stereotypes to believe in God?
Why do fundies always have such a hard time finding angels. I have no problem with it. My girl Akroma always has my back. :p
(Yes, I'm a geek. Stop looking at me like that! Don't judge me!)
Being a long hair pseudohippy type still at 52 I've heard this shit most my life. Decades ago I started replying about the Founding Fathers (of Canada and America) and many of the most famous leaders in history,,,,or,,,quite likely you great great grandfather.
The Romans cut adult male hair short back then.
Point is , in the end, there's never been a time when all men kept their hair shorn close. Not in the fifties, not in the old west, not in the age of discovery, NEVER.
I have found it a useful asshole radar though, if you bitch about someone elses hair or think it's an affront to you , your religion or anything then you're an illogical asshole.
I don't care. *Runs hands through hair* As you can see, everyone in this band has long hair. I don't think it's keeping anything from church, considering the length of my Christian father's hair. Shove it, 2ducklow.
"short haired women keep angels out of church."
What about a female church campanologist with a page-bob hairstyle? [/paradox]

(emph-ass-is added):
"short hair on women and long hair on men cause angels to not operate the gifts of the spirit listed in 1 cor.12. "
So... no hypocrisy on Christian doctrine's part, nosiree. [/hyper-sarcasm] And of course, Baby Jebus hates hypocrites, does he not...?:

Sigourney Weaver as she appears in "Alien III" would give (IQ)2fucklow aneurysms, then.

In recent years, anthropologists & archaeologists have proved that Prostitution isn't the Oldest Profession. Do you know what it is?
Hairdressing & styling.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
