And what’s wrong with Ts and flip flops?

It seems to me that the people who do the following will create a lot more problems for themselves than just a conflict with their religion. Will the people who do the following have more opportunities in this **temporal** and wordly life or **fewer** opportunities? It seems to me they will get along less well in their work, with their neighbors, and family.

Those who do this have an attitude problem that extends far beyond a conflict with their family or an particular religion. These people have an **attitude**!

Get a tattoo in a well-seen location.

How will this be helpful to this person in this **temporal** world? Is it more likely that this person's life will be harder or easier? Hm?

Both men and women should have multiple piercings.

How will this be helpful to this person in this **temporal** world? Is it more likely that this person's life will be harder or easier?

Men: Grow your hair long, past your earlobes.

Is it more likely that an appropriately groomed individual will have more success of less success in this temporal world in business, his community, and with his family?

Dye your hair an unnatural color, such as blue, purple, pink or green.

Purple hair people would **never** get a job in my small business.

In a general sense how is blue, pink, green, or purple hair likely to be helpful to a person in a normal or typical job or career? Is he/she more likely to attract a stable, loving, hardworking, and responsible spouse or not?

Pop open a can of Pringles on Fast Sunday (There are Christians who do fast).

If it would be rude to noisily open a bag of candy during a community theater play, then it would be rude to do pop a can of Pringles in any church service of any kind. The smell as well would be very distracting.

Eat McDonalds in the parking lot before church. Throw the trash away in the can outside of the chapel.

Why would anyone **knowingly** unnecessarily burden another ( especially someone likely to be an unpaid volunteer) with their trash? Someone who is thoughtless and rude, I suppose.

Guess what? I attend ( full-time) a small private art school. I take my trash home because I don't want to burden the director of the school with having to deal with my Mc Donalds trash. He's got enough on his mind and enough to do.

Attend church high or hung over.

Attending anything high or hung over is not the best way to get the most out of **any** experience whether in business, community, family function, or a church service. ( As for the church service, are they doing this as means to shove a thumb in the eye of the other church attendees or are they looking for a new direction in life? This is a question of attitude?)

Let your kids play video games at church.

This is flat out bad manners and poor parenting. It is likely very distracting to the other attendees and especially to the other children in the congregation.

Church apparel, for women: Wear a sleeveless top and a mini skirt. Never wear panty hose. Wear flip flops in the summer and hooker heels in the winter.

Churches vary in their customs regarding appropriate dress. For instance, if I were to visit the Pope, I would wear a black dress and black veil. Thoughtful, polite, and courteous people will respect these customs and wear the most appropriate clothing that they own. . ( I will make an exception for those who are completely new to a church and are utterly ignorant of their customs.)

Church apparel, for all: Wear sunglasses

If I **knew** that it was customary for this particular denomination not to wear sunglasses in church, and I was visiting, I would not do this. In my church I do use sunglasses but only for reading. It is incovenient for me to bring two sets of biofocals to church. If I **knew** that this was the custom in another congregation, I would make the effort to carry both my clear and tinted biofocals. I would do this as a courtesy to their beliefs.

That's **bifocals**, not biofocals. Silly me and my fat thumbs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Regardless of the occasion, ( business, family functions, community, or church events, and recreation) thoughtful and kind people do not deliberately dress in a manner to provoke and offend others, but make and effort to dress in the most appropriate clothing that they may own.
