Keeping skin pretty is completely out of the realm of reasons for religious coverings tho
Isn’t it? I assumed that that is a big reason that religions that start in a desert demand that all members, regardless of gender, cover most of their skin in clothing
“Son, wear your long sleeve shirt. You know how prone you are to sun burn.”
“But dad, it is so hot outside and my clothes are so stuffy and I will only be outside for 15 minutes, tops.”
“Well guess what, son. I just spoke to God and he told me that boys who don’t wear long clothes outside go to hell. That is why you turn red and painful from sunburn, to remind you that you will roast in hell.”
