The weird people strike again.

The proscription is in Deuteronomy, so that would make it Jewish law - a bit older. So, you see here that, at the time, women were required to wear négligées and men were required to wear towels.

Hmm... are you sure that's a biblical scene, because I could swear that's a picture from this bar down the street...

There will always be small and closed-minded people everywhere. And not just religious people. I feel sorry for them because they are stuck in their little world and ,I think, are afraid to expose themselves to things they don't understand. Where I live we generally refer to these people as "rednecks". They all aren't as funny as Larry the Cable Guy.

Isn't that like saying they're not all as normal as Michael Jackson?



But back on topic. People who have a religious objection to the kilt don't understand that their religion is not an endorsement of every aspect of their culture. That or they honestly don't know what a kilt is. In either case they would be better off keeping their mouths shut. They will certainly appear smarter that way.

When I encounter people who feel the need to explain why god is mad at everyone else, there a few responses I like to use:

If they are bad mouthing the kilt, I usually say "show me the verse that says jesus wore jeans, and I will burn this kilt right now"

If they are getting all self-righteous and condemning others for breaking some rule, I usually like to explain to them that if there is one thing you can find Jesus getting pissed off about, it's self-righteous @$$holes who treat us sinners like scum and ignore the fact that they are no better. Alternatively, I will sometimes pick up a rock and hand it to them, and when the ask what it's for I tell them "oh, that's the first stone."

If they are referencing some obscure rule in the old testament, I might point them to certain new testament verses which explain about the law and Christianity, but since they rarely listen, I prefer to simply call them on wearing clothes made from mixed fibers, which as they should know, is against the rules.

If they are doing the old "if you do that you will go to hell" routine, I usually respond with "so what you're saying is... Jesus died in vain?"

If someone says you shouldn't wear women's clothing, a good way to respond is with "that's good advice" and for as long as possible, act like you have no idea that he is referring to your kilt.
