These days with Walmarts and discount stores, people can afford it . It is the choices that are the problem. It is the mind-set of people.

They fear people are "uncomfortable" with the formality of worship or with just the dignity and quietness and solemnity of the services, so they seek to make them more at ease by going casual in dress.
