Granted, it’s not as common as it was now that churches have to do whatever they can to hold on to members, but why is/was it a thing?
Why do people dress up for church?

If you're comfortable, you'll burn in hell!!!! The sky fairy demands it! It's in the bible, trust me!

At one time people took pride in their presentation.
In college I asked all my boomer coworkers if they had any kohls cash they weren't going to use and gathered like $120 of kohls cash and went and bought myself a new coat. I still use it, many years later.
i cringe so hard when i see grooms and groomsmen wearing jeans in wedding
The greater question is why people attend church at all.
They don't, at least in the Churches I attend.
Most men wear shorts. It's like they're going to the beach.

Why does it matter? A lot of people have faith in their religion. Good for them. What's wrong with them dressing up to go to church?
What do they serve for the meal at poor weddings?
Donno, never been. I just see them on facebook. My guess is the same thing their mom's made at their graduation party.
I've never seen that in my life. That's crazy. Kids do believe that jeans are dress up clothes.
Billions of people find comfort and joy through religious belief. It's apparently a very strong human need to believe in something greater than yourself.
What’s your rule on receptions? I have seen a lot of crisp new Wranglers at receptions at the Jasper Co, IN, 4-H fairgrounds during receptions.
What does this have to do with your question?
Or was the whole thread just so you could get a jab in at Christian people?
Crock pots full of Little Smokies drowning in Kraft BBQ sauce and a galvanized tub full of Old Style?
What about people who grew up in religion, embrace it and live ordinary lives? Are they grifters? Are they liars?
umm, in NW iowa it was the dryest pulled pork you've ever had with Busch Light.
That’s great. People can believe whatever fanciful, absurd horseshit from antiquity they’re inclined to. Just don’t push it as factual and true when it’s not.
Huh?
I went to public school my entire life. Where did you get that idea from?
It doesn't have to be a proveable fact. That's why it's called a "belief"....
I used to tell witnesses to dress like they would for church. Not so much anymore.
I’m talking about the pastors and religious leaders who know better but still con people into putting their hard-earned money into the collection plate so these grifting religious nuts can fly around in private jets while average people can barely afford the mortgage and the food they put on the table for their families.
I hadn't been to church in years until I recently attended my mother-in-law's funeral at a black church. I've never seen sharper dressed people in all my life. All of the older ladies wore beautiful hats and matching dresses.
I showed up in khaki pants, dress shoes, a tie and blue sweater. It was easy to spot the Caucasian.

The priests I know are true believers and they make under $40K per year.
Most pastors could make double if they worked in private industry.
How much do you make?
Yep. I’m sure your god and your religion are both true while everyone else’s are false. 😆Not where I go.
