    When should a kilt NOT be worn?

    Let me first say that I am not trying to start a discussion specifically about religion. I know that would be against the forum rules and I completely agree with the reasoning behind it. But as I am trying to wear my kilt more often I was wondering what others of the Rabble thought about a particular issue.

    I attend a religious service every Sunday. I was thinking about wearing my kilt but then I came across this article by former XMarks member Matt Newsome. He gives his reasoning for NOT wearing a kilt to church. The fact that I am of the same denomination as him gives his thoughts extra weight for me. His reasoning makes some sense to me, but I know that many here wear their kilts to religious services and I wanted to get their thoughts and reasonings. I am not trying to start an argument, and I have no problem with kilt-wearing in a religious context. I just want to make sure that if I decided not to wear a kilt to a service that I am doing so for a good reason and not because I am just worried about what people might think.

    Are there certain times not to kilt up? The advice is often given on this site that if you might distract from the person who is supposed to be the center of attention then you should wear trousers. Does this general advice apply in this case or am I overthinking things again? Mods please delete if this post violates any rules. That is not my intention but I understand that it might.

    The article I am talking about is found here.
