When, in truth, God doesn't really require respect in order to
work properly. I suspect these things are done to pacify man's
perceived expectations of God rather than any real expectations God
may have of man(an entity with omniscience will have no expectations,
as all facts are known; therefore, with or without head coverings, God
would naturally know how much you respect Him anyway. I.e., there's
no hiding behind religious 'appearances'). God created heads and the
things that are used to make coverings for them. They are all,
equally, patterns of His energy.
