How ironic....I think a pastor should wear a robe if he's gonna get all
"hyped up", or if he is a quiet toned preacher, a suit is fine, but NEVER
just a shirt!!! That looks really tacky, especially if he gets "hyped up". 

Imagine a preacher preaching...his shirt getting all sweaty and wrinkled,
tails pulling out of his pants, not to mention if he's overweight and the 
shirt just doesn't quite fit properly.

Without a robe, there's too much exposure of the preachers physical
appearance, and BELIEVE ME...some people focus on that, and lose
out on hearing the message. I prefer a preacher preach in a robe.
