You know Stourme, you bring up very valid points and it explains a lot of things that occur between different “sects” of so called "Christians".Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance
In Northern Ireland, "the troubles" are partly rooted in Catholic/Protestant differences, partly in political allegiances, and probably partly in hatreds that go back so far that the exact reason is lost in the mists of time.
After 3,600 killings and assassinations over 30 years, some progress has been made in the form of a ceasefire and an independent status for the country.
About 200 thousand dead so far this year alone just over how high a cross should be!
Don't get me started about Dallas last year! Whew doggies...
BTW read your own articles, there is much more than simple religious differences such as baptism concepts going on in Ireland, and I think anyone who has read the news AND paid attention the past 30 years or more knows that.
Your article also clearly states that the solution to the violence was independent status for the Country. Exactly how does that address religious issues and divisions? Sound a tick political to me.
And notice I did not even ask for a link? Why, because I know what you posted is true, I have been aware of the Irish issues for years. The problem is that it doesn't totally fit your case.
But thanks for playing.
Now if you excuse me, I am headed off to smash the stained glass windows over at the Episcopals place...
Or was that the Lutherans?
I will have to check my day timer...
