You know how some religious people were kippah hats, right? Does it have a religious aspect to it, or is it designed to cover one's bald spot?

What are the chances that hat was originally designed to cover one's bald spot?

Pretty slim since its only one incarnation of head covering used by Jews.

My mother used to have a friend who was Israeli descent and he had a bald spot.
Does a slim chance seem reasonable to you?
How so? I think who ever started this fashion had a bald spot, and was a religious leader.

If you look up the history, you will find that the bald spot was discovered in 28CE, in the far east. However, the Jewish iteration of the skullcap predates that by approximately, 400 years and was innovated in the Middle East! The two found each other when introduced in the year 103 by Sunburn, who was a mutual friend and sensed that the two would be fast friends.
And the rest is history.

Bald spots, like body hair are common among men of all ethnic types.
No. The kippah is one type of head covering worn by Jews. Others are much larger.

The type that you see in the picture, is just one type worn today (and perhaps the smallest sized that it can be and still perform its function). Many others where other types and sizes.

A hat which perfectly covers one's bald spot, do you not see the connection?
Your finger also fits up your nose. And in other places.

Why are you chatting about something else altogether?
What is the purpose of kippah hats?
Hmm, that strongly hints that he was a human male.
You realize that bald spots are very much unrelated to Israeli descent, right?
What good is it to ask the people who would know if you are set on doubting what they say?

Okay, but what is the purpose of those hats?
I'm showing you your flawed logic.
Not that it's any use because you've already demonstrated over and over and over and over and over and over and over your lack of logic, yet you persist.

How is it a flawed theory? A hat which perfectly covers one's bald spot, do you not see the connection?

The second sentence of the linked article in the second post of this thread answered that question.
Your finger fits perfectly up your nose, do you not see the connexion?

"A symbol of their awareness of a "higher" entity"
Does that seem reasonable to you? A hat which perfectly covers one's bald spot, do you not see the connection?

Yes. This is the reason given by the Talmud when it tells us to wear a head covering.
