If not fundie, then at very least unbelievably ironic and hypocritical.

Let's see here...
Fancy dress: Check.
Escapism: Check. Seriously, there is not a big enough square for this checkmark.

Then what should the church be the place for? Nudity? Screaming at the top of our lungs? Inquiring minds need to know.

I actually agree with the point he's trying to make. The way he says it is hilarious, though.
Even if I'm not religious, I can respect that church should be a place for contemplation, calm and seriousness.

I don't have a problem with people enjoying church, but reality is not the place to encourage bigotry and inhumanity.

Not fundy. Apart from the ceremonial wear, it really isn't.
It often becomes so, but yeah.

On the contrary, Church is based on escapism and fancy dress. Ever see the Pope, or the guy in the Crystal Cathedral? They are wearing robes... Convinced?

Well, I don't really see this statement as Fundie, just slightly ironic.

This isn't fundamentalist, and its only ironic for non-christians (and even then not so much).

Has this person never heard the term "Sunday best"? Or, you know, "prayer"?!

Of course, both the sci-fi church and the Christian church celebrate fantasies. Except that the fantasy of the sci-fi church has a chance of representing some kind of reality, perhaps in a galaxy far, far, away. Whereas the Christian church has not the slightest chance of God ever existing at all, anywhere in this or any other universe. Also, the costumes are better in the sci-fi church.

And these other people who go to their own church where they're apparently happy with what they have going should care....why again?

I'll agree with the irony but not with the fundieness.

I have no problem with people enjoying their own beliefs,
but beyond the closet (Matthew 6:6) isn't the place to encourage escaping reality and forcing their beliefs upon everyone else.

Thank you, 'Eclair'. A delightful lady I photographed at an anime convention in the US several years ago. When I got talking to her, it turned out that - like me - she was an enthusiast of the works of anime director & character designer supreme, Keiji Gotoh; of course, her favourite character is Eclair in the Sci-Fi anime series "Kiddy Grade", thus her cosplaying as this character.
...oh, and she's also a Christian.
Just not a fundie one. At last year's San Diego Comic Con, Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church decided to 'protest' at this huge annual event. But the fans at the SDCC got wind of this and organised their own (and vastly bigger) counter-protest. Suffice to say, the WBC buggered off sooner than they'd originally planned. A Jesus cosplayer was there too.
Guess whose side he was on?
Argument destroyed much, Murray?
