  • its funny irish always blame britain for the violence in ireland and claim "england started it" when infact england did nothing and they started killing each other over their religion, which is the exact same religion anyway if they didnt realise lol then british troops had to stand in the middle of it to stop a the killings of civilians they was doing.

    in the uk we dont really have religion.... we have it, but its not important... so we dont get it one bit why ireland is like that. especially seeing as its all just christianity, its not supposed to be at war with itself.... id understand if it was like... in greece or something and orthodox vs catholicism seeing as catholicism ruined byzantium and got most of the greeks wiped out. but thats the only real justification for christianity against christianity. 

  • I know what you mean and I can understand your sentiment given the rise of secularism over the years but Protestantism for better or for worse was an English invention stemming from Henry VIII being frankly a bit of a kn*b (after you realise lack of male heir falls on the father who is responsible for the X or Y chromasome of the child, and he just wanted a swift out so he could try again with a new woman after beheading a few for no fault of their own) also it has always benefitted England to subjugate it's neighbours it might not have always kept it's foot on the gas pedal but in historic terms yes in actual fact England TECHNICALLY did start it. However I am with you, even as I am from a Catholic background it is

    all just christianity,

    afaic for all intents and purposes. When you consider the greater difference to other religions.

    Anyways I've gotten off track - a wee bit. Really TBH I thought you might appreciate this skit by Dara Ó Briain on the topic of Prot' meets Cath' in a wedding.

  • yeah but it was also kinda the first brexit too when you think on it... england wanting to split off from outside forces ruling us from the vatican and dictating to us and demanding we fight in genocidal crusades in foreign lands, so put that way the church of england was more moral. and it didnt start any conflict inside Christianity at all.

    you know what started conflict in christianity though? .... catholicism.... when it started the 4th crusades.... against christianity itself by attacking the orthodox church and destroying byzantium which opened the door for islam and a new islamic state to take a large powerful part of europe and wipe it out to which europe has never recovered from to this day. catholicism is the only one that seems to create brother wars lol henrys creation didnt start wars but rather was used for the fat man to divorce anyone he wanted at will as you said, but there was no christian wars started from the church of england, but there is from the catholic church.
