Clement of Alexandria (d. 215 AD) writes that early Christian women were required to cover their body and faces similarly to with a burqa:

>"Your arm is beautiful; yes, but it is not for the public gaze. Your thighs are beautiful; but, was the reply, for my husband alone. And your face is comely. Yes; but only for him who has married me."
>But I do not wish chaste women to afford cause for such praises to those who, by praises, hunt after grounds of censure; and not only because it is prohibited to expose the ankle, but because it has also been enjoined that the head should be veiled and the face covered; for it is a wicked thing for beauty to be a snare to men.
>The Instructor, Book 2, Chapter 11 - On Clothes

Why was this ancient Christian rule lost only to be recovered by Islam? It puts doubt into my mind about whether the Christian faith as it has been passed down is accurate to that commanded by Jesus. What if Islam is correct? I know no Christian woman would ever submit to this today as they are at their best crypto-feminists who would hold that it is fully the responsibility of the man to not to succumb to temptation from a woman. The situation reminds me of how quickly the Christian church also fell into making visual idols and praying to human persons rather than to God alone.

Thanks to /lit/ I am almost converting to Islam.
>read Guenon/Evola
realised we need Islam for tradition
>read Kaczynski
realised we need Islam to restrict technology
>read Rational Male
realised we need Islam to restrict women and hypergamy
It seems that Islam is the endgame of right wing philosophy and that christianity is dead + Quran and Islamic philosophy are top tier literature. Don't weep for me as I have chosen the same glorious path of wisdom, as Guenon did. Good luck in hell retards
