Hi there Quittner,

Although my belief system centres more on the esoteric I find myself in agreement with parts of what you are saying. For example

1) Jesus stated that there are two laws

That one should love the almighty Totally (if i may paraphrase) and that you should love thy neighbour.

So where did Paul of Tarsus get the notion that a woman should cover her head whenever she is in church.

There are a great many things that are so obviously added to the Xtian faith in the Pauline letters that the message is more garbled than ever.
