My first Kilt article.

[Father Bill]

Yup. *sigh*

I wonder if this is the first time Mr. Stewart was bested by a man in a skirt?
Well written.

[James Hood]

Well written and well presented. Good on you.

The critic appears as many "thundering" critics, claiming ultimate understanding of Scripture as (his) their own. Sad.

'Wonder if "out of respect" for his views, NO WOMAN in his family owns any jeans, trousers cargo pants or tee shirts?

More likely, in this opinion, when this particular storms up to them (and any other female so clad)...

...the more polite ladies so addressed, daintily tell the critic to go pound sand up....

[ABG0819]

Yup. *sigh*

I hope your apparent frustration is not with me or my article, Father Bill.

Graham, you'd probably be interested in the current issue (April May) of Tactical World Magazine. They have an extensive article on the same subject. Slant is for law enforcement officers but also for padres and the congregation.

Congrats on the blog article!

That narrow-minded xenophobic homophobic nonsense needed rebutting and you did it well.

It occurs to me that I've never seen a depiction of JC wearing trousers. I thnk that's in an xmarks member's signature. It seems he and his ilk were fond of long flowing dress-like robes.

This Robert Stewart shows his ignorance loudly and clearly. If one wanted to hold to the letter of the commandment in Deuteronomy, a female piper or drummer in a kilt would be more in violation of this edict than a man in a kilt because, as you so ably pointed out, the kilt is a man's garment.

You certainly made the right arguments in support of wearing the kilt and, as a Cape Bretoner, I can tell you that I do know a few coal miners who wear kilts.

Slainte,

It occurs to me that I've never seen a depiction of JC wearing trousers. e,

My thoughts exactly. Obviously almost no one made it to heaven until well into the Middle Ages when breeches became more common. Conservative Christians flouting their ignorance of Greek and Hebrew are a pet peeve of mine. You handled this one well.

That bloke Obviously has never seem a film read a book or watch any program about the Roman army they all were something akin to a skirt or kilt all real men id say. the blokes a fool .

[CMcG]

Good work, Graham. I didn't bother to read Stewart's "article," but I appreciate that your rebuttal was made without rancour or personal attacks. That adds weight to your very reasonable argument.
