I believe the Nazarene and Church of God.  Most Pentacostal denominations.  They are all Protestant. 

 In the 1960s when pant suits for women first made the fashion scene, our Lutheran church forbade women in the choir to wear them.  I had an outfit that had a long tunic over dress that came to just about 2 inches above the knee and a pair of slacks.  I threatened to wear just the tunic (which was short for the times) if they didn't want me to wear the pants.  They got the point rather quickly when I demonstrated how silly the rule was.  It was loads of fun.

Most religious belief systems disrespect or outright hate women and seek to keep them 'in their place'. It is a logical outgrowth of patriarchism.

It is so much easier to keep a woman's legs open if they are not wearing pants. You may draw your own conclusions to this statement. Women, in the eyes of religion, have no use whatsoever other than bearing children.

I disagree with Ahau Kin about religions wanting "to keep a woman's legs open." It is rather that they want to preserve the complementary roles of man and woman, for the sake of completing and not of competing.

 If you think Obama's system is working, ask someone who isn't!

As to wearing pants in Church: no problem.  In our Church, show up wearing anything you feel comfortable wearing.  However, we do have a dress code: you must wear clothing or face hypothermia outside during winter.

Ahau Kin is obviously quite paranoid and feels threatened any time she cannot get an emotional rush from a soap opera, feminist cult meeting,or atheist hate session.

The gloomy and bitter negativity she preaches makes it clear that she lives in isolated from other people and is so unattractive that she would make any man lose his lunch if he caught sight of her.

What was the name of the Greek goddess whose hair was made of snakes and one look at her reduced a man to stone?

Apparently, Ahau Kin has stolen all her beauty secrets.

She would not want to attend Church with us: we're happy people and she would only feel her loneliness painfully accentuated in our presence.  Besides that, we tend to greet each other with smiles, hugs, and sing songs of joy.

It would make her a happier woman to attend with us, but self-pitying curmudgeons never stick around long: they either sweeten up or it is just too late for them.
