What I'd like to have is the ability to do what I feel is right without being labeled as "liberal".

So this discussion is about how you don't want people placing labels on you?

Have I said you were a "Liberal?"

What I have said (without knowing anything how you dress) is that "casual attire" can cause there to be "casual attitude" toward the things of God!

The discussion is about why a suit and tie are required for ministers.

It's not about me.

I do not have a shaved head if that is what you are asking.

That is my point. It's not whether you are calling me liberal or not.

My point is that people make a judgement on others having a "casual attitude" toward the things of God based on if I have a suit/tie on.

In my opinion I feel it "can."
In your opinion it "won't."

Would you get with the preacher if they were wearing a sweater with a zipper?

Anyone?
