I make up fake stories to excuse ogling at ravishing racks of rapture... or i mean last time i was dragged to church was way before covid. Last time i went to church i was a fap virgin, meaning i have never even fapped until long after i last went to a church. It was a rude awakening that all the hands i shook every Sunday have grabbed at least one dick shortly before and after. Oops. I suppose it means i wasn't dirty minded at all and I dressed normally. But with a method to hide boners when some guest girl i didn't even know would press her back into me excessively. ㅤ

I usually dress in business casual. I sing in the church choir and always wear a robe that covers my street clothes, so what I am wearing is irrelevant. I occasionally wear a coat and tie, as I am president of the congregation.

Thanks for MHO!

I get unusual foot pain when I wear dress shoes so I cannot wear high heeled shoes to church. And I was told not to wear black to church because I once wore black to church and I almost got hit by a car when I was cross the church parking lot to get to church at night time. The guy who almost hit me with his car told me to stop wearing black clothes to church.

[Paige2006]

Yes... to show respect

Here is the deal form a Lay Leader's Perspective. During the Industrial Revolution Conspicuous Consumption ruled. I bought this because I can afford it. It soon began to stratify the Church. It began to Stratify denominations. It was something that Christ specifically taught against. It created an Idea that your salvation was based on what you could by. Kinda the "Stairway to Heaven Idea". When the religious revolution started. Ideas changed. God created us naked and meant for us to stay that way so our beauty would not be hidden from one another and women could see when we were interested. "Got to get Back to the Garden" Idea. His purpose , Make Babies. Our purpose create Kingdoms. His viewpoint I made you all, none of you are better than others. Our viewpoint, I make more money than others, so, I should run the church. Something that was supported by early popes. Indulgences for bucks.

I have attended Churches where the Minister took the stage wearing Levis, a T-shirt, and a pair of Keds. He baptized congregants in a sheet metal feeding trough. No attempt to intimidate the prospective member. I wear Clean Jeans and a dress shirt.

I don't go to church unless there's a non religious event on like a bake sale or a concert. But from talking to more religious friends the attitude these days it's "your church" so you dress as you please, and it's non judgmental about wearing expensive clothes.

I wonder how many people still doff their caps when walking past a church.

[Iron_Man]

Those are Jewish people we don’t wear beanies that’s what they call them Jewish caps

[purplepoppy]

No use to be a Christian thing. Always doff your cap passing a church. Kids would get a clip around the ear if they forget. Only died out because hats fell out of fashion

[Iron_Man]

You’re probably talking about in England the old style where people used to wear hats with their suits like in the Italian days with the mafia that’s different dress hats. That was in the 1950s in America those kind of hats but they’re long gone.

[purplepoppy]

You'll still see tweed flat caps on the elderly and bucket hats are still popular among the young.

[Iron_Man]

The tweed flat caps are for the older boxing trainers that wear those kind of hats into the ring when they are working the corner at the fights 🥊 The bucket hat I really don’t recall too many people wearing those hats, but I have seen them around before. Maybe they wear them more in England I don’t know.

[AMS700CX4u2]

Odd the opinions about showing God the top of your head. Is it the Glare from the light we are worried about. Chrome Dome Syndrome

[strateguy632]

i was surprised at my church when i first noticed people wore jeans. i visited several churches and saw at many protestant they wear jeans.

i made effort to ask 'i wear shorts is it better to wear slacks' they said "not important." of course not reveal skin. but shorts are not just 'okay but slacks better" . the type is not important.

[Just_Ken]

Im surprised these days with what many young women wear, like church is the gym.

[KostasKouvalis]

Not really. My church doesn't have a dress code, except for your shoulders and knees to be covered and for your hat to be off. I only got scolded ONCE by my Sunday School teacher for wearing a metal shirt. Ironically, the name of the band was "Lamb of God." XD

[Lliam]

I don't go to church.

I dressed nicely when I was a kid and went to Catholic church with my family. I never wore a suit, though.

I was a member of a Unitarian Universalist church from 2002 to about 2018 but dressed casually.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

I go to a traditional latin mass. Everyone dresses up. The belief is that you're in front of God so you want to look your best.

In the past, even the poor had their "Sunday" suit or dress to wear.

[Kassandra1994]

What I dont understand is why do church religous people have so much hate agaisnt witches?

Do they seriously think all witches practice black magic.

[Billlewis]

As a guy, those are two of the worst things you can get calf roped into doing: getting dressed up or going to church. They both suck, in my book.

[Massageman]

I wear long pants instead of shorts (unless it's the annual picnic). And I wear a nicer shirt. And I actually shave- with a razor and shave cream.

[exitseven]

I wear slacks and a dress shirt. That is as dressed up as I get these days. I know God is good with it.

[molonski2]

I'd never go to Church , unless a wedding or funeral , some such ceremony , if I were into religious services I would not be getting dressed up.

[OneViewpoint]

Well the only time I'm EVER in a church or synagogue is for a wedding or funeral. So yeah, I can say I always dress up when I go to church.

[BCRanger10]

Yes, I always wear either a suit and tie or at the very least a blazer and nice pair of slacks and button-up shirt.

[Iron_Man]

Wear a Tommy Bahama white dress shirt, and black slacks with nice shoes

[Mark_Est]

Only idiots go to church. All skydaddy issues are made up nonsense.

[Just_Ken]

I wear a suit to mass. Change out of it straight after.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't waste my time with church. What's the point?

[_Jenny_]

@AviatorTom Yes, when I go to church I get dressed

[gasman70]

I get on something a little nicer than my usual

[Staximus]

I only go inside churches for weddings and funerals, or maybe to look at the architecture

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

99% of the time I wear a suit and tie and on rare occasions I just wear a t-shirt and jeans.

[NathanDavis]

nope.. I got there as god made me, brought me...

[andreasderjuengere]

I don't go to churches, because they don't represent belief.

They represent human habits and ritualizations only.

[xawyx-3]

I don't go to church, never been in any of them.

[rgb008]

I’ve never been inside a church

[Elektra96]

I don’t attend church.

[Dnice1]

Always

[Iron_Man]

Yes sir 😊

[Anonymous]

No..
