Dietspam 733 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Unfortunately there are a number of people who think being a protestant is all about hating Catholics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly86 722 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It undoubtably does. But is that worth the cost it's came at for centuries?Nope.I'm glad for any comfort it gives someone at the end, but I'll hope to remember loved ones, achievements, Lovenkrands' header, Arteta's penalty, Mendes at Tannadice, Wallace's 25 yard screamer in the 2020 Champions League final win...real things.

Fastrax 274 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Wee story.......My dads granda was a PROPER old school protestant,stayed in Bridgeton part of the lodge (we still have his over 100 year old sash) and "hated" all things catholic and celtic....my dad was brought up by him and says he celebrated when JFK was killed and on a few occasions he was ready to knock down a wal in house to get to a neighbour pkaying rebel songs.Anyway he was what would be a proper loyalist but the biggest twist in the mans life......not only did he love the Rangers and his heritage.....he had a love for his wife.....his wife sas an IRISH Catholic...TurncoatOnly kidding Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblybear 258 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 What you actually mean is 95% of us live de facto atheist lives, but call ourselves protestants so we can engage in petty tribalism with celtic fans who are playing the same game from a cathlic perspective.you seem seriously mixed up, you a can only be one of these catholic/protestant or athiest, sick of these one that say aye am Rc but not a practising one does not wash, as anyone knows they have there own rules on how life should be lived?prods on the other hand there is no rule to say we cannot be practising without attending church!Athiest? couldn't really comment as they have no rules, but like the rest of us, when things are bad they worry hope won't say pray , when thing are good they thank God!

Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 We are all Rangers fans......that should never be forgotten,we all have different backgrounds and love our club for so many different reasons and from many different generations!!!!We should focus on ONE thing just now and that is the restoration of our club to where it should be.......looking down at the others who are chasing........Could not agree more.

G.E.C. 19,594 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Religion is a load of tosh in all honesty. I haven't been to a Church service in about 7 years, I found them incredibly boring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Knox was a PROPER old school protestant. Your great grandad was an aggressive bigot.Also to topic - Atheism is not a religion and why exclude catholic? Protestantism, Islam and Judaism are no less bullshit than Catholicism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue72 8 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 All the crap that we are going through at the moment might be something to do with bringing out the more extreme bigots.It's a bit of kicking out when we are hurt.Thankfully for most decent fans it's banter only - the genuine die-hard bigots and racists can GTF.
