D'Artagnan 13,319 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 What !! You can't see where the post I responded to might belittle those of no faith ?He is absolutely accurate when he says there are Rangers supporters of atheist persuasion who are keen to sever all ties to our Protestant heritage - if BP9 was online Im sure he would attest to that. I accept that doesn't mean every atheist Rangers supporter, but I can identify with where he is coming from.Your comment I don't need some made up belief to satisfy my conscience that I support a fantastic club Belittles all of us who have an active faith, and who see our support of Rangers as an extension of our culture, our up bringing and our faith.

Bertent 2,081 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 How's that?Excellent but why omit the point it was in response to. Or is the bibles ability to predict the future, as is the claim, beyond challenge.Perhaps you should consider my posts a test of faith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a few weeks they'll have two Popes, one with red socks and a bunnet and the other stuck in the basement playing Ping Pong with the choir boys and we're arguing over a harmless song.

minstral 5,375 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 so what point was he trying to make?He was saying that we are known as a Protestant club. Maybe that is not important to you, which i have no problem with, but to many others, it is important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WATP-FOREVER 5,231 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 so Rangers is exclusively for people with your views?Rangers is for all - and that includes those that relish their history and culture, even tho' you are consistently moving away from the football club topic, and challenging that faith. Back to the main topic, this hymn "Will your anchor hold", fits in nicely with The Rangers history and culture. For yourself and fellow atheists, you should do the respectful thing to your club and your fellow supporters, and stick to the football issue.

Bertent 2,081 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 But that was my point, as a club hymn it is a matter for those who practice a faith to decide its suitability. However within this thread its now moved to a match day anthem, that surely is a different matter all together, especially for those who take their faith seriously.

Muirheadbear 1,483 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Look lads, lets give all the athiest v proddy stuff the boot. This is simple - do you like the song and the substance behind it.Listen to this and the video and ask yourself has this the makings of a great new anthem for us.My opinion is a resounding yes and I think Bill McMurdo, supporters groups and the club DJ promote this ASAP.
