I really wish people wouldn't wear sweatpants to church. I was sitting behind a girl tonight who was wearing those uber short cheerleader shorts and an over-sized hoodie in church. It just seems so disrespectful to me. Like the event you're at is not that important. It's good when people find it important to go to church but somewhat insulting that they'll go dressed like they didn't want to actually take the time to make it an event. Like they happened to be able to fit it into their busy schedule of sitting around. Personally I just feel awkward when I'm wearing basically pajamas in a public setting. It has nothing to do with feeling self-conscious about how people see me, but it's more that I want people to respect me and know that I respect them as a member of my community. Wear the hoodie to church, fine, I'll do it too, but at least throw on a pair of pants so that you at least look like you respect the ritual.
Worship how you will, but this is my personal opinion.

"God doesn't care how you are dressed. Frankly its between the person and god. Church isn't a fashion show."

When explaining to my granmother that it was ok for my cousin and me to have shown up in church on a Sunday in cutoff shorts, covered in mud from the creek. (where we had been hunting for crayfish)
