There’s a little bit of a trail to follow here, but I came across the web site Baptists for Brownback via a post on Bible Versus linked to by the Real Live Preacher. Oh the paths that the Internet leads you on.

This site reads like something you might find on the Onion, but it appears to be the honest opinions of the writers [Update - many friends think this is a humor site - please let it be so!]. Regardless, it is some of the funniest stuff I’ve read online in a long time. The best article is the one which gave me the title of this post.

Update: Some kilt-wearing men might be heterosexual after all

Some of the comments on the post (and on the initial post) have really funny quotes as well such as:

When you put on a kilt you are stepping out of God’s laws. You might just as well wear wizard robes and read Henry (sic) Potter.

My only fear is that they’ll read this post and decide that I belong on their list of “People Who are Probably Going To Hell”. I’ll just have to risk it.

Another Update: Most importantly, I forgot to add a link here to my favorite kilt wearing buddy.

This was a cool panel because it had San Antonio’s own Real Live Preacher. The discussion was focused on unique issues encountered when blogging about religion online - both pro and con.

One big pro was that being online provides an outlet for those who can’t find a religious community that accepts them in their local area. A relative negative was the angry, ugly comments that some people receive. Another mixed fact is that members of your real-life community may have issues with what you write.

The panel caught a little flack from some of the audience for not including the atheistic community, but it was an interesting discussion.
