HMMMMMMM well I won't tell you what Ginger said because this thread would be moved to the over 18's section.
What's wrong with being respectful when visiting someone's place of worship? Nothing - indeed, it is the proper thing to do! It teaches us to respect others, which is a value that the world could use a lot more of. When I visit a Jewish friend's temple for a service, I always show respect by wearing a yarmulke. When visiting a mosque, I gladly remove my shoes. When I visit the wonderful cathedrals in the UK, I am careful to be respectful of any church I enter, especially if there is a service in progress. It is the respectful and courteous thing to do.
