It isn't about the clothing; it's about pride and humility. Different churches have different traditions regarding the promotion of humility and the discouragement of pride. Yes, what is worn is part of these traditions. Yes, there is Biblical precedent. My church has it's own traditions; you've not defined them nor would you be allowed to define them. Neither you, nor a table of your friends, nor a gaggle of social media zealots have the right to dictate those traditions. Likewise, you also are not allowed to establish your own dress code in a restaurant you do not own. That's my point. It's simple and this desire you have to take offense at the parallel I drew impedes your ability to see the bigger picture. Do we have freedom of assembly, or do we not?

It's simple and this desire you have to take offense at the parallel I drew impedes your ability to see the bigger picture.

I take no offense at what you write. You're the one who brought church dress codes into the discussion and I asked if your church had a written dress code. You posted links explaining why men should remove their hats while in church.

Those links contained other Biblical commandments for how women should dress/behave while in church and I simply asked if your church requires women who attend to observe these commandments/traditions.

You never did answer my questions about whether the women in your church observe the commandments about head-covering, nice apparel, jewelry and holding their tongues that I found at the sites you posted. Your silence implies that they do not.

Do we have freedom of assembly, or do we not?

Now who's going off the deep end?

Most restaurants have a posted requirement for shirts and shoes because that comes from the health dept. I have yet to see a restaurant that had a posted requirement for men to doff their hats when inside the establishment.
