I know God puts us on this earth naked. We aren't born in little suits and ties or dresses. I know the church has been around for centuries and there have been lots of different types of clothing worn by worshippers.
In some ways yes it doesn't matter what you are wearing - in God's view He either sees you naked in sin or clothed in the robes of Christ.
For some it's a matter of shooing respect.
We have people that show up in work uniforms, they don't have the time to change, either coming from work or going directly to work.
But if the time and opportunity allows some consideration to be dressed in a repectful manner, it is prefered by many and seems a good consideration that is "meet, right and salutary."
The concept may be more of Sunday morning services should not resemble Saturday night at the tavern.
There is also the concept of distraction and what exactly are you there for.
While it is better to show up then not go, it is better to show up engaged to appreciate the Service than not.
Perhaps the idea that it is an imperfect world and there is always room for improvement no longer applys for many people?
Where do we draw the line? Bathrobe, slippers and a Depends adult diaper even though one is not disabled or ill?
