Dude's pissed the womens git to wear their hats... always interesting the ironicism of human thinking... God doesn't care he's seen you straining on the chitter.
The US Army, and my mother taught me to take off my cap, or hat indoors.
I see men wearing caps in eating places all the time, church even!
Rant over.
Now, what if one is bald and has an obscene tattoo on one's noggin?
Hat on in church?
Hat off in church?
Not eligible for church until tattoo removed? (even if you've "repented" )
Minoxidil?
Wait in the vestibule?
Go to outdoor services only?
Wear stilts so you tower over everyone else and they can't see the tat?
Use Magic Markers to alter the tat into a "holy" one?
Forego church and go back to slammin' speedballs in the alley with the rest of the street people?
Start your own church?
Contact the pastor and inquire about a solution to your dilemna?
Or perhaps the best idea.................
Ask for advice on internet forums about outdoor activities.

I don't go to church because of other schitty christians

I went to a church once and one of the guy's passing around the free handout plate was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.
Haven't been back since.
If you're gonna beg on behalf of the Lord, wear a jacket and tie for Christ sake.

I sure got to agree with that. Most folks going to church now days seem to think Walmart attire is good enough for church.
At least they are in church.Do you get extra Jesus points if you dress up? Sheesh!
If you're Joe Schit the Ragman and just need some comforting, by all means, walk your homeless ass inside and get some faith pumped into you. Figuratively or otherwise...
But I'm talking about the guys that have jobs, a house, a new car... Put some fugking khakis and a button up on. Especially if you're gonna pass the grape juice or handout tray around to the congregation.
Walked off the boat this morning and went to church. I looked rough. Surprised they didn't mistake me as a bum and toss me out. Pretty sure I stunk too.

Then you're worrying about the wrong thing.
I don't 'worry' about much, certainly not about others and what they choose to do on Sunday.
I've met many good Christians....... many can be seen 'here' (Tlee and ScottF come immediately to mind, though there are many others)........ and I'd likely be better off if I were more like them. I've also seen way too many 'good, church going folk' that I wouldn't waste a breath on. Likewise, there are several exemplars here on the 'Fire.
I haven't really been to Church (with a few exceptions) since I left home after graduation. I don't think I'm 'less' for that choice. As always, YMMV.

No you're not any less. It's not really about whether you go to church or not. My point just was that for me when I figured out certain things in life, then my reasons for why it was important for me to go, changed.
