So I was at Ivar's today and I realized that the church crowd was having lunch as well. I looked around and I saw all these people dressed up in suits and nice clothes and it got me thinking

If you're seriously asking, I think in theory, it's sort of like dressing nicely to show respect at a gathering for someone of high status in their honor (it's as much about the event as the person), and in reality, it's more to impress fellow churchgoers or create some sort of conformity to increase crowd energy.

I dunno, my family usually goes to the casual services.

I don't know, I never understood the concept of dressing up, really. Especially not for church. If God knows everything about you already, he already knows how devoted you are, so it's really just to show everyone else how devoted you are. Sad.

^^this^^ I was always taught that it was a sign of respect to god that you dress up, so ...he knows he's special, I guess...

Uh lol, actually, I think there is a nudist baptist church in Texas.

Lord. It figures that they'd have such a thing in Tyler.

The best part is that the website says "We are not naturists, that's a hedonistic lifestyle." Getting naked and not having sex? Sounds like naturism to me. LOLz

It's not just a social club, it's also where you go to get your political views. :P
