Not surprised you slip in a little pagan food mate, perhaps you should save your Christmas pudding for Burns night and go the whole Wicca hog. So to speak.
Originally posted by divegeesterthe article is tosh, unadulterated, Burns did not worship nature as it alleges, he was born into an era of extreme superstition and these superstitions are often reflected in his poems. He was able to utilize nature to make very profound observations in a way that no poet since has been able to emulate in my opinion. The writer has a seriously deluded view of Scotland and need her bum felt to bring her back to reality, we haven't eaten goats head soup since 1678.
What's your thoughts on the link in the OP?

What is with you and this 'bum-feeling' nonsense?
I'll tell you what it is. It's creepy.

The bible says we are to abstain even the appearance of evil; do you think you defending a poet who was influenced by pagan culture and has a core pagan following is something your leadership would be advocating?

Originally posted by divegeesterRobert Burns has been quoted in the very pages of the watchtower magazine therefore i think the brothers would laugh at your assertions of paganism.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo proper Scotsman would drink whiskey! Especially not on Burns night.(unless there was nothing else to drink,of course)
wow, what if i have mashed potatoes and turnips (the traditional accompaniment to haggis) and drink a dram of whiskey and read some poetry? Does that count?
