OGIA... You are admirable in your defense.. but as you stated earlier.. you found it to be true too...

The best way to change things is to start with ourselves (NOT Saying you have this problem)...

But I want to do my best to MAKE everybody feel they are important to me and the Kingdom!!

Well.....breaking the spirit of what the Bible says about adornment is not okay for anybody to do, liberal or conservative. I think the reason that conservatives get so much flack for it is because conservatives often put themselves above liberals as being the ones who are 'doing it right'.

You are probably right.

This is not what I'm arguing about. I'm confronting this "us vs. them" mentality! You seem to hold conservatives to a higher standard than any others. Why is that? They don't. Not the ones I'm speaking of, anyway. The ones YOU'RE referencing would be the very same ones doing this whether in a liberal UPC, a RCC or any church in America. But, you seem to only think it's a conservative's problem. I don't get that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with dressing nice?

Ever heard the term power dressing, power suit, power tie. But it really comes down to motives, if all the focus is on you wether you have nice clothing or less than nice clothing if your thoughts are about you the sin is the same, pride.

And it continues..............

When you prove to me that all liberals are perfect, then come back and make such generalizations.
