What culture were they purporting that Sinn Fein are against? I think that they might have found more to do inside the building actually talking. Instead of doing the "Adams you mu..... no surr.... SFIR...." fill in the blanks, as it has all been heard before. What was the special on the menu at the Europa today?
There is an assumption that in conflict there is one party that is outside the law, even when the law enforcers themselves are as bloodied as the perceived wrong-doers. This is not an easy law to bring in that is based on simple numbers. The number 5 makes all who commit crime the same. There is a time when violence is necessary, when there is nothing else. NI is less than a century old and it's whole existence depends on the assumption that it's reason for being has some anchor in history. It is that wrong-doing, that gerrymandered, colonial schism that rendered people who otherwise would have had other things to do with their time on the path to something that no righteous person would choose. It is that assumption, that most men and women live for life and love that leads me to uphold the right of people to take whatever work they can get, according to the merits that they hold and not because of any damnation bestowed by people who given the chance would most likely have let them hang, if they could get away with it. Violence is born out of injustice. Sort that out and there would be no fuel to ignite the hearts of men to do things they otherwise would leave undone.
Maybe an entrepreneur can bring real jobs...
All will go to heaven, even those who don't deserve it. If god is love then love the sinner. Just be happy you are not the sinner. Tribal thinking, I'm great and you are not. the comfort in being saved is a ridiculous notion, and proclaiming it is even sadder. At the end of the day, it's not over till it's over and then who knows apart from the one who's passed on. That's the beauty of religion. BUt I'm not dying to find the answer.
Francie boy is a good man
When exactly did they decide in the Catholic Church that Jesus is God? I think it is much more palatable thinking that he was just an excellent orator, doer of good and lover of people and all that makes humanity great. It's all the afterlife crap that makes religion so hollow. I do all this to live forever. Like who wants to? Freddy was right... Living here and now is liberating. I think Francis is going to free us all from what binds us to money. YOu go Franky. Keep your right glove up!
Statistics are very useful if used to bring about fairness and change for the better. These statistics are only ever used to be divisive. 90 years of separation and concerted efforts to create a Northern Irish identity have succeeded to some degree. I count myself as Irish, but also as Northern Irish as that would be to deny my heritage as part of the population of Ireland left in limbo. How that translates in a decision to either stay in the UK or opt for a united Ireland would be pretty easy for me, as I would think of the future and not just of the current state of either party. But understanding that Catholics are still more likely to be unemployed and so on, is something that we can deal with inthe meantime.
Chain up the swings, close the pools and put on buses to take people to church. Wise up yiz deranged bunch of cretins. What is your problem really. You are not Christians, you are fascists and you can't tell the difference. Take your lord out of politics!
Silly person. Do you even know what Luther wanted? I think not. Luther was himself a Catholic who wanted change. He was just a bit before his time. He did not want the scatter of protestant faiths that have emerged. I think he would be pretty chuffed with the Church as it is today, but that is through 16th century eyes. A bit like yours really. Worst letter ever, bar none.
Let this be a new beginning for all of us Catholics who feel that the plot is missing... God give him him strength to make the changes necessary.
