Deal with it. Why are you so touchy about posters pointing out hat the Kirk has had it ? Time to move on. I'm absolutely delighted that it has no influence anymore over Scottish cultural life. So still a protestant country then? The covenanters would have been turing in their graves!! Aye. It is from a bygone era and doesnt bother the likes of us. But unfortunately it exists big style in West. Two separate issues. In football which we are interested in it needs banned somehow. All agree on that one I think. Outside football is different case.

All agree on that one I think. Outside football is different case. But if it doesn't bother you then why were you so touchy about several previous posters who pointed out that for the vast majority of Scots the Kirk is an archaic, irrelevant institution that they don't give a flying feck about ? We are living in the post-christian era now. And the image of the covenanters as god fearing, clean cut heroes is an invention of 19th century literature. The truth is they and their foes were just as cruel and brutal as one another. Plenty of rape, looting and murder was done by both sides. Frankly, claiming that "Scotland is a protestant country" is akin to saying that Protestant's are superior and that Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, agnostic and atheist Scots should know their place. It is an attitude that has no place in the 21st Century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to play a blinder again. What a comeback!!! Google v Wiki. Remember 47% of statistics are made up Kirkie boy. Statistics Current religion 2001 Number % Church of Scotland 2,146,251 42.4 Roman Catholic 803,732 15.9 Other Christian 344,562 6.8 In 2001 the population was what 5m? 2.1m Church of Scotland, 2.9m are not. In 2011 I think the population was about 5.3m and those that stated they were Church of Scotland had declined. In any case, Those that did not identify w CoS were the majority.

It's like some sort of subliminal message for gay men: Bears? Check Partial to an old Queen? Check Men in tight fitting uniforms playing with their 'flutes'? Oh yes... They're clearly wanting to fill the place - I just hope that no-one is lured along under false pretences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
