    Want to make yourself REALLY crazy - Read this one...

    Hey Rabble,

    This is one dude who has waaaaay too much time on his hands. A wack-job's brief diatribe on...are you ready? Wait for it...

    Why "It is Sinful for Men to Wear Kilts!"

    Read on, dear brothers and sisters. As the Facebook poster who brought this to my attention observed, "He must be a minion of King George II."

    http://www.dividedbytruth.org/BD/kilts.htm

    So obviously this guy has never hefted a 16 oz Strome 8 yard tank if he thinks of a kilt as "soft raiment". Or for that matter been to any Highland Games and seen a thrower. There are so many things in this article that are just outright hilarious, I thought you all might like a peek. The only "sin" I see in this article is the lad in the photo at the top wearing a kilt that is about 4 inches too long for him! (But then again it is his sinful kilt, not mine)

    cheers!

    I'm not even going to dignify this with a detailed response.

    He's not stupid, he's is a fool. Using religion to support his idea of what is "sissyish" and such he loudly proclaims himself to be. He can give his own opinion and that's fine, but to attempt to cloak it in religious trappings is foolish in my opinion. And soft rainment simply meant nice, non-course, nice material. It never meant "girly".

    I sense an ego problem with this dude and his MANLY faith.

    That last was sarcasm.

I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed." -- The Hon. Stuart Ruaidri Erskine, The Kilt & How to Wear It, 1901.

    I saw this some months ago. Of course, Jesus was stylin' in his Levi's 501s.

    I read this a few years back. I thought it was really stupid. Besides, men used to wear long robes or skirts which could have been very short. Women would never wore anything short for modesty reasons. There is a beautiful stain glass of one of the apostle in my Church wearing a dress like garment just above the knee.

    WOW , I am a Born again Christian and I wear Kilts .
    I have peace about it and this guy has not researched his heritage or he too would want to wear a Kilt out of Honor.
    I hope this guy does not turn people away from God thinking that all Christians are like him .
    Because we are not. Most people do not understand what we understand here on the forum. so they either make fun or attack what they do not understand.
    Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
