We will soon be deluged with whacko FReepers who will argue that it's OK to show up naked to church or wearing bondage gear or whatever because (1) it is Pharisaical to ask people to behave with respect during worship or (2) "at least they went to church" as if the community of believers should be happy that someone came to their congregation in order to insult them.

It looks like they haven't learned much since.

Not from this Christian you won't
I am disgusted when I see people wearing flip flops
to our Saturday night service
This is Gods house...show some respect
If you knew that God in flesh was waiting on you
at the front door...would you show up
in flip flops or a bikini?
Well you may not see him with your human eyes but he is looking all the same

I just want to ask you if it's okay to not wear pantyhose.

At the church I used to attend, pantyhose were required (if you were a woman) and of course men's hair was not to touch the collar of their white shirt (and tie).

I'm sure God places priority on pantyhose and ties.

There is a big difference between blatantly immodest clothing (e.g., bikinis) and casual clothing -- specifically, that one is condemned by the Bible and the other is not.

My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
