If y’all are really offended by shorts in church I feel bad for you. Pathetic people.

Church is not a building. It's a movement you choose to be a part of.
Can someone refer to book, chapter and verse on proper attire for worship? Didn't think so.

No. It’s becasue Jesus doesn’t carry cash. You won’t see him wearing cargo shorts with 6 pockets.

What do you wear to a job interview? A wedding? A funeral? You're best. So why not wear your best in the presence of the Almighty? If shorts are the best you have, so be it. I can't find a scripture that says to wear a coat and tie. But if earthly things like those above I mentioned get your best, God certainly should.

Jesus was a black jew, not really the image you see of a white dude with norse body image in most of Christianity. Not really sure what he wore as we have no real portraits or polaroids from back in the day.

As he spoke to the average folks through parables they could understand he was probably the first rabbi. As we have no concrete proof of what he wore, we can just guess. However, as a jew, he probably wore acceptable attire for the time at his local Temple.

I wear shorts to church and don’t see anything wrong with it. I also don’t care what anyone thinks about it either.

That my friends is religion working at it's finest. Religion is what you should do to be accepted by God.
Christianity is about what God did for you in His love, mercy, and grace through Jesus.

My church has a lot of tatted people, too! Oh my!
The music is loud and some of the members have long hair and beards!

So you're saying that you put on your costume to try and pull a fast one on the big guy upstairs to fool him into thinking you really, really mean business? So what about the other 167 or so hours of the week? Do you think he only exists in the Church?

I dont think I have ever seen shorts in any church ever.


Come to California, they wear flip-flops too. When I first saw it 25 years ago I could not believe it. Now on any Sunday at our church if some one has a suit on, we know they are not a regular attendee.

Well God is everywhere, so next time you’re on the toilet, dropping a deuce, you better strap on a tie, your holiness.
