Kilt Article Found On The Web

[TaxCollector]

Yes this is an opinionated piece but as I was happily enjoying my Google experience I stumble upon this article. I thought at first the man was joking, but then I found out he was serious. Anyone else find this article as barbaric as I think it is?

All I know is that if kilts are "sinful" then I don't want to be right. After all sin is what separates us from God right? I don't know just my opinion, but I would love to hear what everyone else has to say.

Ah, didn't realize this was already around, feel free to delete this thread =)

Cower is correct. This was discussed fairly recently here on Xmarks. Thing is, that's not the only incidence either. This particular article comes up periodically -- it's been around for a good while, and some members have even tried to make contact with the article's owner without success.

It's the ramblings of a silly man with a religious axe to grind, nothing more... He represents no agenda other than his own.

If we keep talking about people like this and the stuff he says, it only gives him more power. It is obvious that man is mentally unstable and by talking about his ramblings, we just give him more fuel for his fire.

Seen it before. It's not even theologically correct, even if I wasn't an atheist anyway, LOL! Plenty of people have poked holes in his arguments before, and probably including some in the thread that was linked to above.

Well, lads, if it's a sin you've all confessed already, so here's my "blanket" absolution.

Those are the advantages of having an "in-house" priest...

For what it's worth, I grew up going to a church that had that tone of rhetoric going on, though slightly milder, and about some other subjects. I don't recall ever hearing the wearing of kilts discussed.

There is a subtly encouraged, underlying fear of "outsiders" and outside information because hearing what they have to say might corrupt your beliefs... So any real history about the kilt or clothing would be shouted down or dismissed. Just a small insight into what might be going on with this guy's thinking and group, if he has one.

* Now that I think about it, there was nothing "subtle" about it...

Some people will never understand the pleasure of wearing a kilt. Although I think that the author of that article over-stepped his bounds, when he equated wearing a kilt with being gay. I'm pretty sure he'd be quickly corrected if he made that statement in a kilted crowd.
