I don't think I've ever used the word "unhinged" before. But that was an unhinged rant full of strawmen.
You're defensive because you're not getting it. It's not a judgement thing. It's advice given by OP and by God for your own benefit. Not because anyone is trying to control you. Nobody is trying to prevent you from showing off your hotwife's ass in Lululemon leggings so that other men can imagine her being on top. It just might not be best.
It's ok for OP (and God) to suggest avoiding obsession over the outer and instead focussing on the inner. Your goal as a Christian should be to be true. Not false. It's not good for your wife to put on a false-face in order to misrepresent herself to the world. It's also not good for others to be fooled by outward appearances and dazzled by baubles dangling from her (or from you, a man who wears jewelry..).
We're here in this world because we've been dazzled by the outer. We've lusted after things that have luster. Things that reflect light outwardly. Seeing inner light is the way out of this world. Inner light is easily overshadowed by the garish outward light that has you so fascinated. I have trouble understanding how you call yourself "spiritual" while not understanding this basic spiritual concept.
Are you having true spiritual experiences? In my experience, putting focus on the management of outward appearances really hampers one's ability to connect with God. That's why the bible instructs against it. It's not an arbitrary personal attack against you and your wife.
Anyhoo, for your own reflective purposes, you should know that, in Truth, you've been a dishonest, judgmental, name-calling liar, bearing false-witness throughout this thread. But those are just inner qualities, so they might not not be of any import to you.
I am spiritual because I am above your superficial piety.
Max cringe. The defense of superficiality has been the explicit aim of everything you've written in this thread.

Best of luck out there.
Fuck theocrats as much as democrats. They’re all autocrats.
