Bertent 2,081 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Showing your lack of knowledge. While the Church of Scotland didn't write the bible, they were the only group that encouraged people to read it, in order to read the bible you had to learn to read hence the development of education for all. With Catholics, the only ones who read the bible were the priests who would preach from the pulpit.My knowledge is fine as is my ability to put into practice the techniques accredited to the church, thats why I am able to think for myself and question the assertion that the bible is able to predict the future, as is claimed in the post.Given the level of support that are actually practising any form of religion I do wonder why we need a club hymn.

Stoorie 1,088 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 So many naive people on here tonight, or many infiltrators, whatever.This hymn should be sung loud and proud at Ibrox every week, BUT, If you want to sing this hymn then please be aware of what it means.Too many of our younger fans have no concept of the BB.I suggest that parents of younger bears send them to the BB meetings, and let them learn what it's all about.

Rangers Lady 2,380 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Is our history not real. From our many wars, to our saltire, to reformation, to our covenanters and to our many famous missionaries - is that not real. Or would you prefer a dvd.So long as it's not shot in a church, I'll have the DVD Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are neither criticising you or questioning you on your beliefs - what gives you the right to question or belittle theirs ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because the romans are a political movement fronted by religion, doesn't mean to say that the Presbyterian Protestants must drop their fantastic inheritance.We're not the same as them, and don't let their agenda to undermine our history trap you as well.
