You're right! That's down right ignorant of a church/congregation to be so judgemental. More like 'mental' that is, for them to compare ear rings and long hair to evil. I'm sure they had seen, even witnessed evil and it aint in the hair.

Ironically though, the sister of the church member that witnessed this shooting a few Sunday ago that I spoke of, judged me by my hair years ago. I was dating her son. I was experimenting with my hair vs. getting it done professionally. I colored it, then put a perm in and it turned green. Since I was young, I saw the color as a unique color and had it styled.

One day her son and I stopped by to see her (my first time meeting her). She questioned me about my hair and the style. Soon after I was told that she didn't like me because of my hair. Well, years later, I became her favorite, even though I was no longer with her son. She tried her best to get us back together.

Funny, huh?
