    *disclaimer* Before I start I want to make it known that I am a deeply devoted, uber-religious, incredibly faithful "category three" Orthodox Christian.

    I've never gotten comments like that about my kilt wearing, but I have had several "category one" Christians say similar things when I was a punk rocker. I seriously had someone tell me that I was going to hell because I looked like a sinner, and that he expected to see Jesus in a three piece suit when he got to heaven!

    Here are some of my standard answers for "category ones":
    1. Did Jesus come to reinforce societal norms or to challenge them?
    2. Which came first, Christianity or Western society?

    When it comes to discussions of religion, politics, and other controversial topics, I typically take the position of, "If someone wants my opinion, they'll ask for it, and if they don't it's their loss."

    I wish more people could learn to shut their mouths and mind their own business, and only offer their opinion/beliefs in the appropriate setting.

    At a Highland games, I got it in my head to approach a kilted man who didn't know me, but I knew to be a friend of a friend. I got in his face and asked him why the heck he was was wearing a dress. He got very red in the face and started to lecture me until he finally looked down and saw that I was also wearing a kilt. The important thing was getting a free beer out of it.

    taking religion to someone's dress is quite idiotic and you might not be a person of their religon either.

    Well, thank you, Nighthawk. Like I said, I don't think the man who inspired this thread was a "weird person," just mind numbed and brainwashed. Weird takes lots of work and research.

    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Not to mention dedication! It's time consuming and exhausting!
