Gerrys religious beliefs

[turdsl]

Gerry is just hedging his bets.

Very wise,something we should all think about.

[midlander12]

The scary thing for me is that an educated person believes any of this nonsense.

[smert]

'I also think it’s downright nonsense that Christian churches are so divided'

have to agree with alliance

theology amongst Chrisitian churches is so polarised that it is very hard to be united like Gerry would wish

[merle haggard]

Id like to hear his opinions on Judas

If Judas has any information, he should pass it on to the relevant authorities in the PSNI.

In the holy land one church building has four actual churches minding a part of it. They dont talk to each other, they wont agree maintenance costs, sometimes they fist fight and generally hate each other.

But they are all christians. Now if thats not crazy then what is.

I really dont want to get into a religious debate but for what its worth, i have been to the holy land and yes you are correct about a number of Churches in one churches etc

What people really need to understand about Christianity is that once a person profess's to be a Christian it does not mean some sort of prefection is installed automatically. It doens't mean you are prefect or near prefect...or even remotelly prefect. in fact for me as a Christiam it means i am only too aware of my lack of prefection and the fact that i have to start anew every day (yaaa i can hear the jibes coming already) So expecting humans beings to be more that human beings is unreal, it doesn't matter if you are a Saint or a Shinner....we all are weak somewhere....


By the way the Christans in the Holy land get one very well 99% of the time, its the 1% that is shown on what pass's for a media service in Ireland....

"The scary thing for me is that an educated person believes any of this nonsense." Well said midlander12. The unquestionable christianity of so many Irish politicians is quite remarkable, considering Europe as a whole has thoroughly embraced secularism. Who cares about Gerry Adams' opinion on transubstantiation. His religious opinions are his affair, and his alone. I'm surprised he was asked. (If indeed he was asked.)

Sinn Fein has always been a bit ambivalent about the Church. The latters criticism of republicanism isolated and aggravated many. I predict Sinn Fein will face difficulties in the future because of this though. The people who vote for them are among some of the most committed Catholic communities in Ireland. In years to come, as Sinn Fein continue to move from protest politics to actually holding political office, their policies, on issues beyond the national question, will cancel out a lot of their current support. Most Catholics believe in Catholic education and would not be up for Sinn Feins 'progressive' attitude to socio-moral issues.
