    Ok, we know what your first mistake was!
    From some ignorant englishman claiming that kilts are for Scottish ONLY, and only Ulster Scots at that,
    BWAHAHAHAH ahem I'm sure it would be entertaining to hear the rationale behind that one --- let's take comfort in the inference that most of the population of the US is thereby "qualified" to wear the kilt.
    to some bible-thumping idiot quoting the old testament claiming that anyone (male) wearing the kilt is going to hell, because dressing like a women is a sin!
    At least when we get there, we'll be in good company; since Jesus never owned a pair of troosers!!!

    Gotta be the tank, since the others would burn up in a micro-fortnight. On the down side, wool would probably carry the smell of brimstone for Eternity.

    But maybe that's part of the torture, flaming PV throughout eternity. Tell THAT to the tat makers

    Ooo, how about a nomex kilt then?? That's an idea...

    I could probably find and post all of the websites referring to what I was posting about but it would just aggravate me further.

    I'm very lucky in the fact that my work is way cool with me in my kilt. They frankly don't care. It does get noticed by customers, but it usually sparks a good conversation.

    I'm going to go put on my kilt and walk around, troll for the ignorant.

    Have a great thanksgiving ya'll.

    !!

    I think you'd want an especially light weight fabric...perhaps in a lovely shade of red?!

    Anyone who frequents the University of Michigan diag knows about the "Diag Preacher." He's one of those extremists who has, to put it nicely, his own unique interpretation of the Bible. He called me out telling me I would be going to hell for wearing a kilt. I started talking about the clergy tartan, and he replied that kilted priests were going to hell all the same.

    I decided to stop talking to him.

    On one hand, yeah, people get crazy ideas, and they are pretty dumb. Then again, I also get crazy ideas, and I'm pretty dumb too, let alone ignorant. In the end, the best I can think to do is enjoy the show.

    So God doesn't want free thinking, entelligent individuals and chooses to surround himself with closed minded, ignorant people? That seems counterintuitive..

    Wow...........

    You know, one could argue doctrine until blue in the face with people. Good on you for knowing to walk away. Hearing that you did so made me smile.

    Cheers and blessings
