I went to Church of Christ. They are biblical literalists so they have found verses to take out of context to mean that instrumental music is not allowed.
Also no dancing, no women speaking in church, and classics like don't be gay or divorced.
They got two things right- don't celebrate Christmas as a Christian holiday and they don't baptize children. You have to be old enough to decide to be baptized (13 or 14).
That sounds awful...
I respect peoples beliefs but that is so extreme that it doesn't make sense.
