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.

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.
I have a tattoo. A banner on my calf, and a large one on my back, thinking of getting another one, neither has held me back from anything. I have three ear piercings in each ear.
Personally I like long hair on men, not so sure about bald men who grow what they have left long, however.
It is rude in the big picture to play video games in church, but I would much rather have a squirmy kids occupied than crying.
The hair color is just not an issue, my real estate agent, awards out the wazoo in my county, has pink hair.
Would it be rude to eat during service yep, but the fasting aspect has nothing to do with me - it is between them and God.
The trash thing, hey. I would rather people throw their stuff away than in the parking lot, just not an issue for me. Its nice you take it home, good for you.
Bottom line God does not see the outside only the inside, we as humans make a huge mistake looking on the outside.
