I showed that you didn’t know the roots of the two religious traditions that you used as examples.

If the rules of Kashruth started as a way to institutionalise a ban against cruelty to animals would that be rational to you? You think that all of the rules started with “God said so”. You are wrong.

The head covering is to remind the man that there is a separation between him and the higher power. To be reminded, every day of your life, to be humble. To be reminded, every day of your life, of your place in the universe. There are a lot of people throughout history that could have used that reminder. Maybe there would have been less man on man oppression if everyone did that.
