Just thinking out loud

Sometimes I wonder if I'm being too critical. I hate, yes hate, when some celebrity acts like an idiot then wins an award and all of a sudden they yell out," I want to thank God the father" or some other religious sounding mess and people make them in to super christian with wisdom coming out the eyeballs.
Even "christian celebs" for example a few years one got married. Had this long drawn out boring mess of a wedding. Wasn't married a year before she wrote a book giving  "how to keep your man advise" to other women.  ( that was before the divorce)
Where in the scriptures are women instructed to think like a man?  It's elitist and snobbish to expect a christian to use clean language, dress appropriately for age, gender and faith. Even being disrespectful is supposed to be overlooked and made fun of. Not!
I require evidence of being in the same family I'm in.  You should look like my daddy in some way. your behavior should agree with the culture I live in. You know, culture,( the way we do things here.) My daddy has rules and boundaries you must not cross. As good as my daddy is he can't stop you from sending your self to hell. He gives a person a chance many times over to change his ways. He will not make you.
If you have not studied, and practiced to develop a godly mindset your conscience has nothing to  confront you with when you are wrong.  The holy spirit's job is not to punish. Just remind you of what ever the lord has said.  You punish your self with your own conscience. With that if you don't turn away from your rebelliousness you will one day lift your eyes in hell.  I'm just thinking  out loud.
