We are all kilted sinners! Oh no!! :-)

[Nighthawk]

So "soft raiment" being effeminate, if we just went back to the old-style "hard tartan" we'd be fine, hard being manly and all, right? If you've got your hard on instead of soft fabric, all's good!

...I have to ask... Was that a Fruedian slip or did you say it on purpose? Either way, I just about fell over laughing!

Hawk, nice to meet someone else who has a copy of Vines! Although you should check out the William Mounce dictionary, it's a little more up to date on a lot of the Greek. I also compliment your post, as a person who is pretty well versed in religious studies, I can see you put a lot of thought into it. I almost made a similar breakdown earlier in the thread, but I frankly, I didn't want to do so much typing!

I agree this thread is (or should be) more about the "fact vs faith" or "opinion based on scripture" aspect of Stewart's crazy website.

But to be clear, I didn't feel the need to weigh in further on the crazy website. Basically the only point I was making, was that I feel like some posts in the thread were singled out as problematic for the sole reason that they represented a, shall we say, minority viewpoint on this forum.

I don't like to seem as trying to get in a 'last word' but that will be it from me on the subject.

With that being the case, I misunderstood you! Stupid internet... So hard to get voice inflection!!

Let's see, I know a 6'-6" construction worker who kilts on the job, we have here a number of highland games strong-men, some woodsmen and explorers of the wilderness, and last but not least, martial artists. Most of whom wear kilts during said activities. Manly enough for ya?

P.S. Alan? You're right.

I'm one of 'em... I fight with broadsword and backsword, and I study 2 Asian and one European style of martial arts.
