What Should You Wear To Church?

But, dressing "up" signifies respect. Sometimes that's a thing.
My mother was once given a very nice note on her car about her being a godless piece of shit because she had a Clinton bumper sticker. This was in the parking lot of an old-school Catholic church where no one dresses casually to go to Mass (except for me, of course).
If anyone here is offended by my belief that respect and dressing up have about as much association as pineapples and pegging jon's sister, you'll have to excuse me because I'm sure as shit not toning it down. You wanna wear nice stuff, though, fine by me. I'm not offended.
Please love yourself.

Clothes maketh the man.

The Bouncing Souls taught me that one.

If you don't respect yourself, how can you respect the Maker of the universe?

As a Baptist, I'm sure you feel that as a Catholic, I'm on the wrong side of religion anyway so why start with the clothing? If Mass is wrong, what would it matter what I wear to a faux religious observance?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

(I love how a bullshit post like the original one in this thread can morph into a somewhat serious discussion)
Carry on.
Dude Jolly and I and a few others have had this one for years. We should all just let machine learning and our AI personas duke it out with stuff like this. Hell in the parallel universe we'll stumble into this week, I bet you our parallel selves already figured this out.
...This is neither here nor there but the present makes me uncomfortable.

Am I wrong about that, though? I honestly mean no offense by it—pretty much everyone considers their religious observances to be superior. If that's the case then I don't see how what I do would matter.
But if you think there's some value to dressing up for Mass because Mass is legit for the people who attend, then, yeah, I was wrong and we can just focus on appearance.

My son-in-law's normal attire borders on ragged casual. He would no more attend mass in jeans, than flap his arms and fly there.
Well I'm the same, but only because I don't wear jeans. I don't think I own a pair anymore.

#1) @George-K By “come as you are” I don’t mean we encouraged to come in sleeping shorts and bed hair. Most guys are in suits or slacks and collared shirts, but there are a few in jeans and a t-shirt and it’s not a thing. Nobody cares or looks down their nose. It’s the platform that matters. I bought a couple of shirts and ties and a Sport Coat for a kid that is a really good guitarist and I wanted in the Praise Band. Heh, now I’m being asked to wear jeans so I don’t stand out.
@Aqua-Letifer 1) The jackass that wrote the note would have been a jackass whether they were in a halter top and daisy dukes or in a designer dress. There are assholes in all sides as well.
- you need to rethink your analogy. Pineapples and pegging Jon’s sister actually have a lot to do with each other.
@Jolly I enjoy some of the praise music, but you have to have hymns. This guy hasn’t had a hymn in the service for 4 weeks...
