I sense you are a sceptical person about the big bang.
If you are therefore a creationist please explain why there was never any mention in the bible about the planets revolving around the sun or in effect by anyone in the last few thousand years...
and whilst you are at it, please explain why the universe is expanding? I means would you build a humungous palace for ants and then extend it? no point really...

You dont need religion to have morals. If you cant determine right from wrong, then you lack empathy, not religion

and when the so called 'murderers' were not running the country and it was instead run solely by the Unionists, we didnt exactly blaze a trail then did we? If Catholics had been treated as equals then none of this would have happened. Check your history. This bigotry only exists here in Nth Ireland by a small minority. Just such a shame that those minority are in positions of power.
On the mainland bigotry towards Catholics is non-existent and the politicians can instead concentrate on implementing proper policies.
An example that no one gives a monkeys about whether a person is Catholic or Protestant: Q. Who has been voted Best British Entertainers for the last 13 years? A. Ant & Dec. Both Catholic boys .

The reason why God made us all so different, different beliefs, different sexuality is because he was testing us. he wants us to not only tolerate those that are different from us but to embrace them and love them because they are different.
It is only if we can do this will he let us into his kingdom. What a clever test. I mean if we were all the same and only believed those that are the same as can enter the Kingdom it would be like going to a party full of accountants - so incredibly dull

Genesis 15:9 The Lord answered, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a she-goat, three years old, a ram three years old, a turtle dove and a young pigeon.”
Deut. 25:11When two men are fighting and the wife of one of them intervenes to drag her husband clear of his opponent, if she puts out her hand and catches hold of the man by his privates, you must cut off her hand and show her no mercy.
Genesis 19:8“Look, I have two daughters, virgins both of them. Let me bring them out to you and you could do what you like with them. But do nothing to these men because they have come under the shelter of my roof.”

Wow isnt it great that I can quote the bible and make the Lord thy God look like an ass too :p

Doesnt take religion to be good just empathy and if we all empathised with each other there would be no anger or hatred and hence no need for religion.

Maybe then you should get out and about a bit more, 1st step - leave the house. 2nd step - meet people other than those you grew up with and 3rd step - open your eyes to the wonderful diversity that is human kind.
I personally think that the whole point of any language is to be able to communicate. It should be a way of bringing people together and not as it is seen by some in Nth Ireland as tool for division.
there was a program a few months ago where Stephen Nolan visited the Republic in which he expressed the same opinions as yourself that is until he met a farmer who had never spoken anything but Gaelic. He changed his opinion of the language immediately seeing it as a real language unlike that of the Ulster Scots.
the difference between Ulster Scots and Gaelic can be summed up - There are no television stations which produce only programs in Ulster Scots, unlike, the Welsh and Gaelic programs.
