No self respecting Scot single malt snob would be consuming Jameson or Bushmills, just ask Ralfy.

Where does this end?

Fools are at the tiller today.

The rest of us know, we must steel our resolve to keep the torch of liberty alive.

“proportion of Roman Catholics (10%), other Christian affiliations (11%) and non-Christian religious people (2%) in Scotland has remained relatively stable over the same period.”

This change come all from the Church of Scotland.

Government church.

The Most. Rev. Nicholas Okoh, Primate of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, and Chairman of Gafcon, was the one who gave the sermon. Incredible service.

Queen Elizabeth (1533-1603) damaged the Church in Mary’s Dowry, Britain. Wiki pedia says, “In religion, she was relatively tolerant.” Wiki pedia is garbage. The seeds of Queen Elizabeth are blossoming today. 10% Catholic? Queen Elizabeth would be upset with such a high number.

Doubtless some truth to it. As the adversity mounts, the purity and strength of the Christian faith grows.

But still, patches of it can be seen in other bedeviled places, even America.

A dented hood should not a totaled car make. I doubt Elizabeth was the worst problem here.
