[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it goes hand and hand. You're setting the tone that this is something to take seriously and worthy of respect. It's once a week for an hour or two. Why is it so hard for people to demonstrate some level CARE?[/quote]

How you dress is *independent* of your ability to care. It is *independent* of showing respect. Care and respect are about how you *act*, not how you *look*. Thankfully more and more people these days have realized that and moved beyond this kind of superficial judgement. It must be all us 90's kids who took to heart that lesson that it's what is on the inside that matters, not what is on the outside.

I'll note, as an atheist, that when I was a teenager growing up, I did have people tell me outside of church that they hadn't liked how I dressed in church. That was something that certainly helped me realize that the people who were attending church didn't actually care about things that mattered. It wasn't the final step in me realizing it wasn't real, but it certainly was something hat helped. [/quote]
