Originally posted by SlowLX View PostFair nuff, bad choice of words. If every person in America who claimed to be christian went to church regularly there would not be enough seats. Being christian to the average American is like being Irish, German, etc.Originally posted by Pro88LX View Postgoing to church every sunday does not make you a good christian either...

Originally posted by The King View PostThe Northern Ireland turmoil was politically and economically based, and religion was, once again, a handy tool used by the leadership of the opposing sides as a rallying point for secular causes.

Do you seriously believe the IRA and Sinn Fein ever cared the least about Catholicism? They simply wanted Ireland to be anything but British, and since Britain was officially Protestant that made for a convenient enemy in the Irish Protestants. This tactic of subverting religion for secular ends is obviously effective, look at how it's duped you.

Apples and oranges. Your distain for Christians is not allowing you to post a valid argument.
