Colossians 2:20-23

²⁰So, then, if with Christ you''ve put all that pretentious and infantile religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it?r

²¹"Don''t touch this! Don''t taste that! Don''t go near this!"s

²²Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention?

²³Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice. They even give the illusion of being pious and humble and ascetic. But they''re just another way of showing off, making yourselves look important.t
