I was thinking about some of the things that the church has demonized over the years, things that we have said were “condemned” or would condemn us. Here’s some I came up with off the top of my head:

• Movies
• Dancing
• “Spot” cards (with Rook cards being okay)
• Dominoes
• Mixed bathing (otherwise known as swimming)
• Alcohol
• Tattoos
• Piercings
• Jazz
• Rock and roll music
• Rap music
• Tobacco
• Pants on women
• Short hair on women
• Long hair on men

We could go on and on. And we probably will.

But I think we need to add one big taboo to the very top of that list:

• Making laws that God hasn’t made

I daresay that’s far more dangerous than any of the other things on that list.
