none of the women had their heads covered. How am I supposed to shave their hair off?
The Bible says it must be done right here:
11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn.....

"We are not living in Bible times anymore - you can't take things that were clearly right - back then and apply them today."
WOW! Can you get your mind around this answer?! Does that also apply to homosexuality being an "abomination?!" What about premarital sex? Do the laws that applied back then no longer apply today?
I think Christianity and all the book religions should take Einstein's example when he said, "The world we have made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them."
For me, this is the fundamental reason why book religions do not work. They negate the problems of the present and the forward thinking necessary to deal with them. All social law, morality and mores must be able to stand up against the scrutiny of present circumstances. Calling an action a sin without taking into consideration both time and place is a sin against all humanity.

First of all - it is so sad that people like you have to come up with these dumb things to try to prove God wrong.
Do you wear a robe and sandals? We are not living in Bible times anymore - you can't take things that were clearly right - back then and apply them today. We don't ride camels, wear robes, cover our heads, so forth. You read about things in the Bible that applied to the times back then and then apply them to the the times now. We would all look kinda funny if we did some of the things these days that they did then. don't be so literal.

But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 1 Cor: 11:16
