In reply to the discussion: Church denies First Communion to fashion-loving girl because she wanted to wear a suit [View all]Angry Dragon
(36,693 posts)Do we need rules?? ....... yes
Are all rules good?? ........ no
Should stupid rules be pointed out?? ....... yes
Here we have a young girl taking her First Communion, her first steps on the path to her adult relationship with her god.
Should she have the right to face her god in the manner in which she chooses?? ............. I say yes
She honored her father and mother by asking them if was okay. I believe that is one of the Ten Commandments.
Please explain what rule she was breaking in wanting to face her god, with her faith and belief, in wanting to face her god and showing her god what she was?? Was she wronging her god by wearing what she thought was good??
In my world any church that goes around raping young children for hundreds of years and then hides that truth deserves no respect.
