re: What do people get out of going to church on Easter once a year?

With that attitude, you exude the antithesis of a Christian. The very reason that many are turned off by church.

I don't really go to church often. I'm an easter/Christmas person. That's nice to know that having any pride in one's appearance is such a turn off. Here's the deal. We aren't talking about whores and beggars and leppers. We are talking about regular churchgoers (one of which I admit I am not) who don't have any pride in their appearance or any sense of decorum.

One of the reasons I rarely go to church is because its not much different than going to a movie theater (which I also hate). Kids on the back row, eating chips, flip flops, fatasses hanging out of ill-fitting jeans, spikey hair, hipster glasses, etc. Its just disrespectful. I like ritual. I like, you know, at least pretending that worshipping God is somehow sacred and deserving of my best or at least a little more consideration than what I'd throw on to get some gatorade at Walgreens on Saturday morning.

That's just me. I could be wrong. I may burn in hell for being elitist, but until then, I will continue to tuck in my shirts and wear a tie when I go to church.
