I do believe that Paul was coming against human tradition that was not compatible with honouring our spiritual head (Christ). What did wearing of long hair do to dishonor Christ that was connected to the veil? I really do not know for sure. One other thing that could come into play is that women also used hair (in the form of a wig) to cover their heads. That would constitute a head covering just as much as a veil. Although it is a “natural” head covering with their own hair, it is not natural when it is a secondary source of hair as a wig. Wigs as hair coverings are discussed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzniut

Thanks for the discussion LNE. I think it was useful as iron sharpening iron.
