All right, it's like this. You have a church where people don't believe in wearing pants. That's all really... No big philosophical diputes, thelogicial chaoses, schisms, etc. Just don't wear pants.
And the world will be a better place...

Details, please. How do they feel about skirts, kilts, sarongs, waders, jumpsuits, and camiknicks? |
|
| |
Can I wear them as a protective device against temperature and abrasion? |
|
| |
Do we have something against *any* clothing below the waist or are underpants ok? Wearing only socks, shoes and a shirt would look silly, but if you can wear boxers then I think you have a shot at shutting down those Catholics. |
|
| |
Kilts are in definitely (My grandfather was Scots) and therefore so are all kilt-like variations (skirts, sarongs, etc.) |
|
| |
Waders are out. So are jumpsuits. |
|
| |
Me and the bishops sat around and had a little discussion, it comes down to no clothing for the lower half of your body can descend below the knees (even the aforementioned kilts, skirts, and sarongs) so boxers and shorts are in... Sorry ladies, Capri's are out... You'll just have to miss the rest of that trend but trust me you'll be infintely more popular if you just stop wearing pants altogether... |
|
| |
Oh and I just realized that I got the word sichsm in the main desdription all dyslexic... Oops... |
|
| |
Any ideas for a patron saint for the church of no pants??? |
|
| |
St Nicholas would seem the obvious choice. |
|
| |
Say "St Nicholas" v-e-r-y slowly. |
|
| |
I think I got the St. Nicholas thing. If I'm right, clue #2, it makes more sense for a Brit than an American. |
|
| |
I dunno about the acceptance of the skirt or the like...I went to Catholic school for 10 years and I don't think they'd appericate it if the Church of No Pants associated themselves with their school girls....then again, as a member I've been doing this for most of my life! |
|
| |
All right then, Cardinal Nichole thinks we should ban skirts... All in favor... |
|
| |
Shouldn't be a problem with the Southern Baptists, they're pretty much all from the same Family anyway. And I don't just mean 'Church Family' either. |
|
| |
So would there be any organised celebration of our belief in no-pants or do we just wander around not wearing pants? Organised ceremonies involving pantlessness would be good for church solidarity and morale. |
|
| |
Yeah, we should have a weekly meeting of some variety... How are Wednesday nights looking? |
|
| |
And I might add that we do not believe is proselytizing... People might get the wrong idea if people with no pants on went door to door looking for converts.... |
|
| |
What about St. Johns son? |
|
| |
Some other people have recurring wet dreams about finding themselves in church half-naked, maybe thats what this is all about... |
|
| |
what? they dreamed they fell in the font? |
|
| |
Once every few years, members are encouraged to go on a pilgrimage to Vegas. |
|
| |
being half jewish, I feel it is my duty to institute a synagogue of some-pants. |
|
| |
"Shouldn't be a problem with the Southern Baptists, they're pretty much all from the same Family anyway. And I don't just mean 'Church Family' either." |
|

I'm not Baptist, and if I said something like this about Muslims, African-Americans, or some other "acceptable" group . . . can you imagine the outcry?
Your church seems to be very exclusive. If a visitor walks into your church wearing pants, will you have an extra kilt on hand for him? or just politely hand him a pair of sharp scissors?
Should you find that you want to kneel in prayer, you'll want the carpet to be extra thick.
I think that some of your rituals should involve tanning and thighmasters.
If you would like to come to my church, some of us will be wearing pants, but you will be accepted, even pantsless. We meet Sundays and Wednesdays. |
|
| |
Well, I guess my home would be considered an outpost of the faith, then, although we do have a rule against cooking naked for safety reasons - apron is required. |
|
| |
I would gladly submit to this church's version of sharia law. |
|
| |
As an American, I still don't get the St. Nicholas thing. |
|
| |
This is a great idea, in fact, I'm not wearing pants right now. An eerie coincidence if you ask me. |
|
| |
I think it would be kind of cool for everyone to have to wear robes when they worship. Kind of like the school in Harry Potter. |
|
| |
you mean like monks? I used to have to dress up like a trappist monk when I worked in a Belgian themed restaurant. That was great fun, I'd go for any religion with such a cool outfit. |
|
| |
I think there might be some trans-atlantic confusion arising from this no pants religion, however. No Pants USian, has a different meaning to no pants UKian. Also, there is the St Nicholas US/UK confusion. In the UK it would need to be renamed No-Trousers Religion, that doesn't sound nearly as good. And in the US, the Patron St would have to be St Underpantsless. Actually, that does sound quite good... |
|
| |
Ah, good old St.Underpantsless. He gave his life so that we might go commando. |
|
| |
"Hi, I'm here to join the topless choir"...<oops wrong church> |
|
| |
Funny how such a simple idea imediately fragments into schism. Pro-kilt, Anti-kilt, Pro-organized worship, Anti-organized worship, Pro-proselytizing, Anti-proselytizing....Maybe if we had a god-like founder who everyone agreed could never be wrong he could bring us together! |
|
| |
could i still wear my toga? |
|
| |
Yeah! Who doesn't like wearing a toga? |
|
| |
Nice links hippo! It just goes to show that no matter how ridiculous the idea, somebody, somewhere will try to bake it. |
|
| |
even though they are all, without exception, wearing pants... |
|
| |
I still love this idea, and the links. What a keeper. |
|
| |
Particularly bakeable this year because the tenth of January is a Sunday. |

I was a part of No-Pants day this year in Hollywood. We
need more occasions for this. LOTS more. |
|
| |
Head for Belgium, then.... |
|
| |
I just thought about this idea as I was getting ready for work - "no roommates, no children = no pants". |
|
| |
You should try working from home: no current need to
wear pants + no current desire to wear pants = no pants. |
|
| |
Yes, but you're on the right coast - isn't it freezing? Oh, and my other bathroom is a brewery. |
|
| |
Hmmm. Maybe you'd get more 'followers' down the street at the Bar of No Pants: that'd be an interesting dating venue! |
|
| |
<obligatory, traditional kilt joke>"Is anything worn under
the kilt?" |
|
| |
Saint Hugh of Lincoln? Saint Ubald? |
