All religion is bad. Is that correct? And I post this as a person who isn't even slightly religious.
Why do people dress up for church?

A Christian Church is referred to as God's House.
Christians wear proper clothing to show respect
for the God they have come to Worship on Sunday.

The vast majority of pastors who head a church live in near abject poverty. The TV guys and the mega-church guys? Yeah, they're slimy.
What's the bottom line upon meeting a stranger? Can anyone tell? How about being respectful, listening and being kind. Pretty simple right...?
Probably, tbh.
Is that your excuse for the Catholic Church moving pedophiles around and protecting them from facing justice decade after decade?
No, it's just facts based on real data that you are ignorant of.

Quality research and reason need to take precedence over emotion if we truly want to keep children and families safe from sexual abuse in the the Church or anywhere.
Was it the church or certain people within the church that were pulling the strings?
Then yes, scholarship has proven a lot of fundamental religious dogma to be false.
You’re going to believe what you want to believe regardless, so the point is moot.
Do you think all pastors have private jets? If so, we are all in the wrong business.
Actually, I’m not ignorant of that data.No, it's just facts based on real data that you are ignorant of.

My point is if these men were truly of god there would have been zero incidents of child abuse, not hundreds or thousands. On top of that, there would have been no bishops or cardinals protecting them.
But if data that show child abuse in the Catholic Church is comparable to other organizations brings you comfort and lessens your cognitive dissonance more power to you.
No.
It was one example.
There are 40,000 Christian denominations for a reason, though. Like I said, people are free to believe whatever illogical horse shit from antiquity they want.
Not all clergy are men of God...far from it.
Most are good, some are evil.
That's irrelevant to the Sacraments and doctrines, though.
It's like judging Jesus because of Judas...
Why does anyone care?
Stay home, drink coffee, watch Sunday Morning, or NFL pre-game, read HROT and lounge in your tighty whities

Why is it always people that are anti religious that aways bring up stuff about religion and then somehow they always end up bitching the religious people are always trying to push their ways on them?
I don't believe that.
There's some truth in every mainstream religion.
But of course, you know better than all that.
I'm a groomsman in my friend's wedding next weekend. Double dog dare me to wear jeans?
Why do gay people dress up in leather straps, assless chaps, and animal tail butt plugs?
Even a room full of Midwest whites thinks that outfit is super white guy.
Catholics in Florida show up in Bermuda shorts and a golf shirt.
Maybe all churches are like this as I'm no longer a churchgoer, but I've been married to 2 Catholics now, and I have been surprised what Catholics wear to church given how judgmental some of them are.
I was raised Lutheran and I don't remember shorts jeans and t-shirts when I was growing up. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I remember men dressed up in suits and ties and kids at least had to put some dress pants.

People used to dress up a lot more at Catholic Churches as well. When I was a kid shorts were a no no.
Look at clothing in general in this world. No one dresses up anymore. Sweat pants are common apparel when someone leaves the house now days. Hell I had someone show up to an interview in jeans with holes and a stocking hat that he wore the whole time. lol.
Ya. But when I say they wore jeans, I mean all the groomsment wore jeans. As it was likely their uniformed outfits.
And let me clarify my previous post, I could care less what people wear to church. Jesus was homeless. You should expect people to do their best to look well, but not spend money just to look well if they can't afford it
Neckties have largely disappeared, too. The official "businessman uniform" is now a blazer over a dress shirt with no tie.
