No part of Christianity says anything about names.
Dude's just a bigot.
Thank fuck for Janet p on the Wisconsin supreme court!
My parents told me that not wanting to use my birth name is not "honoring my mother and father", which is what the bible says to do.
Yeah... that's a bit of a stretch to me, but an interesting interpretation I had not imagined. Good to have some insight in to how others think. Thanks for sharing that.
I agree it's a stretch, because as an adult I'm not subject to their demands. And I don't follow their dumb religion anyways so why would it even matter to me, lol.
And I hope when people marry, they don't take the husbands name as a family name... I mean that's the same concept and not honoring the parents of the wife. I think if you believe in that, everyone absolutely also needs to stick with their maiden name.
Not taking his name in vain includes claiming to be a person of God but acting otherwise
