Would it be normal to believe in these rules and wear these clothes?

I'm choosing (though it's expensive) to wear Christian clothes and a Christian hat (traditional wear), the type in plain humble black clothes with a white long-sleeve shirt underneath and a plain humble black hat, i.e. a certain bowler hat, and it symbolizes 1. that you're ranking low in a hierarchy or scale (having less), and 2. that you're modest and unpretentious with no pleasures and luxuries, by 'modest' I mean "small or limited in size, amount, or aim", in other words the Christian clothes I endeavor to buy symbolize humility, it also, as humility, symbolizes that you have a low opinion of yourself and are unassertive. This by some Christians, though it's not compulsory, is done on moral grounds, the point is to look like that Christian boy on 'Children Of The Corn', my mother doesn't understand it, and said it was the Devil. It also symbolizes that you're honest and spiritually cleansed. The rules of Christian Science are: 1. don't be selfish, 2. don't have pleasures, 3. be kind, 4. have mercy, 5. have justice, 6. don't have revenge, 7. don't have wrath, 8. be humble, and 9. have love, to name a few rules, the result of this, like primitive Christianity, is similar to some of the rules of Catholicism. It's in order to enrobe myself with righteousness, to cleanse, in order to get in heaven, is this normal?

      Some Christians do! The Mormons wear plain dress, the Methodists wear plain dress, with no gold, or anything expensive, at all! Although in most Christianity it's not a rule to dress a certain way, they still dress like that! I observed it carefully.

          Nikki, I was unaware you alone were the perfect representation of the 2.2 billion Christians in existence.

            My point was, some Mormons, some Methodists, and some other sects (is mormon even Christian?), that have a specific dress, are an almost neglibile percentage of Christians who have none.

            But I am kinda perfect ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

          I can't say whether lust is a sin, but since you're not a Christian Scientist, you're sinning, it's lust! Cleanse your wicked ways! But if Mary Baker Eddy has any words on lust I will gladly admit it's a sin. By the way you should censor yourself, you CS!

    Since when is a bowler hat a "Christian hat"?

    I don't know where you live, but in Britain only the royal family and other upper-crust dandies are even seen wearing a bowler hat in a non-ironic way these days.

    In any case, you say this ridiculous outfit is going to be expensive, but it's also going to a statement of how humble you are. Your posts make it clear that logic isn't your strong suit, but surely you see the contradiction there.

    If you really want to look humble, get some gunny sacks and hand-stitch them into a floor-length robe using twine, and never wear underwear or anything on your feet.

    That would give you the "Look at me!" effect you want much more cheaply that what you propose.

      I think you're misunderstanding something. The clothes are symbolic, white symbolizes purity, how do I explain this? It's supposed to look meek, honest and cleansed, not simply humble. This is why people don't understand Christians.
