when i talk about "dressing up for church" and i reveal that that means "a t-shirt that doesn't have a picture on the front" the catholics are scandalized

the sense i got as a kid was like

god likes to see us. he likes when we go to his house. there was no need to dress up in suits because we weren't there to try to impress him, or show off how respectful we could be. we were going to visit our friend god

obviously not exactly like that but that was a lot closer to the vibe than what i've seen of catholic mass

@monorail baptists are a subset of protestants so

@ElusiveConfection i never like, thought about the different sects or whatever as a kid. i wasn't sure what "baptist" in the name of the church meant. and then i stopped believing and never cared to look into it

@monorail mormons also would probably be a little confused tbh, the standard is to wear basic dress clothes.

dress clothes that are bad and uncomfortable and probably contributed at least slightly to little autistic joan's alienation from their chuch but i'm getting off-track

@monorail ehh most of my pain relating to the LDS church was from my family being lowkey 'microaggressive' to me when i'm expressing my queerness, and from learning how terrible the church and its founders are online, but yeah i never liked having to put on church clothes.

@monorail oh lol.

another tangent, the only reason i call the lds church 'the lds church,' (kinda as it wishes, really it still dislikes the 'LDS' lable and would rather it be called "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is that wikipedia describes mormonism as not just being it, but all of everything that regards the book of mormon as true, and while i' good with deadnaming a ~~corporation~~ church, i'm not good with using misnomers lol
