[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

Are born agains prods or not?, I do know that they think that prods as well as catholics don't go to heaven - "only the saved can go to the kingdom of god" ! feckin numpties.

I have been working down in Dublin for the last 9 months and am often surprised to hear how little people down here know or care about the north. I had to explain to my boss the other day that July 12 and 13 were holidays in the north.

The fact is most people in Ireland pay little attention to what happens outside their locality! If people down here refuse to pay much interest in what happens in the 6 counties it is hardly surprising that Northern Protestants pay little attention to current affairs in the free state.

born agains can be of any demonination . dana used to claim to be born again.
But dont confuse english Protestants as having anyything to do with religion after all it was only founded because their king got a hard on for the maid.

A number of years ago a young lad fromTigers Bay (loyalist area) was on Queen Street throwing petrol bombs at the New Lodge area (nationalist) when the bomb went off in his hand killing him.

The headstone on his grave (up in Carnmoney) has 2 logos. One is for the YCV (junior wing of the UVF) and the other is a Glasgow Celtic badge.

Go figure.

Henry the eigth may or may not have become a protestant on his deathbed.
Before that he wasnt one - he was a catholic who split from Rome.

Ok seems a normal thread, here's a question I like to ask..

Where do Nationalist Protestants come into this and what about Loyalist Catholics, do they even exist? Remember I'm from the South and have one friend originally from the Falls Road but she lives in Perth now so have little exposure to northern attitudes and opinions expect what I read here.

There known as the SDLP up here

I remember hearing about that lad and on his anniversary teenage nationalists would come down the limestone rd? from the Antrim Rd all wearing big foam hands that you'd at an ice hockey game taunting the protestants. Sorta thing you shouldnt laugh at but tbh I did when i was told!

Not really anything to do with me, seeing as I'm not a Prod. In fact, I've not a huge deal of time for organised religion of any sort, nor do I see a great difference between the two main Christian sects in Ireland.

Sure them boys are practically English so can be forgiven for not know much about the aspects of Irish culture and society that are mentioned. As for those referred to in the thread title, they're telling lies. They may want you (and more importantly their neighbors) to think they are good White Anglo Saxon Protestants, untainted by any influence from the Papish Irish, but we know rightly they have the RTE aerials hidden in the attic and that's Pat Kenney they're watching behind those curtains.

SammyG claims no God either, not sure about MW, Tony Hawks, GAWA and weesaysanchez - gweltah is just an alterego of EG or Sammy.
