I will never surrender, never - *ahem*....well, ok, since the lassie has worked her winning Irish charm on me, we can have peace (*cough* after you've had one too many beers at the pub and are feeling strangely poetic about your hangover the next morning, and I've come back from fighting...

    Real Polytheism

    So, I think it very much depends on the variety of monotheism we're talking about here, as they are not all identical (i.e. we don't all adhere to a doctrine as radical as Islamic Tawhid (oneness of God) and Shirk (assigning no partners to Allah) with unqualified rejection of all...

    Real Polytheism

    I'm not sure this is true of all monotheisms. In some cases, the 'pantheon' - that divine democracy of 'occupational specialists', to use the analogy above - has simply been re-defined and 'demoted' by the belief in one supreme God, yet not completely eviscerated. When St. Thomas Aquinas (c...

    Your internal monologue

    Perfectly true, but we got there first. A type of kilt can be dated roughly to the sixteenth century in use by Highland Scots (the Feileadh Mor, mostly protective clothing, not yet ceremonial dress), whereas the Irish saffron kilts are of more recent origins - I believe they adopted it from us...

    Your internal monologue

    The other two allegations I can just about tolerate, but the middle one..... about our traditional national attire :eek: :dress: Now, that needs some rectifying from this Scotsman....

    Your internal monologue

    Right lass, let's set the record straight for that scoreboard of ours. If the Scots and the Irish went tae war, we both know there would only be one victor - because the Tartan Army would have kilt it. ;)

    Your internal monologue

    Fascinating topic @Meow Mix My internal monologue - the voice in my head - is most definitely a kind of mental 'vocalization' in English, as opposed to just naked apprehension of concepts alone (although, I also grasp things wordlessly as well, which is harder to describe, as it involves merely...

    Hats In Religion

    Great set of questions as ever, Salix. My religion doesn't mandate any kind of religious clothing for the lay faithful as a whole, akin to say the turban amongst Sikhs, or the hijab worn by Muslims in conformance with sharia law. Nevertheless, Catholic clergy of every class - from deacon and...

    I Don't Know Anymore: TRADITIONIS CUSTODES

    You're correct Indigo, although the Vatican's prohibition on trying to pronounce the Divine Name was actually a restatement of our own sacred tradition as well, in addition to it's being sharpened in response to dialogue with Jews. The ban on uttering the Tetragrammaton in worship or in...

    Do JW baptisms count?

    Anyone who defines themselves as a Christian is a Christian. However, validly administered baptism - the sacramental bond of unity of the faithful in every church body, incorporating them into the body of Christ - and espousal of Trinitarian faith according to the first ecumenical councils of...

    Do JW baptisms count?

    You are completely free, of course, to receive baptism in any denomination that you feel drawn towards, including the Jehovah's Witnesses if that is what you believe. If what you're asking more particularly, though, is how a baptism administered by the Jehovah's Witnesses would be viewed by...
