Not so easy to escape human nature is it?
Jack as typical of christian eejits believes that only by being a deranged follower of fantasy stories can one have morals. Its typical patronising rubbish. I opened the prison of my mind many years ago by throwing my catholic upbringing in the sewer where it belongs. I have never felt better since and wish I could have done it sooner then I did.
Brainwashing is a powerful tool in the christian bag of tricks. I am still a morally responsible person and am indeed more humanist as a secular agnostic then I ever was when following the right wing cant of the the catholic church.
My children are unbaptised and will have no problem learning right from wrong and how to care for there fellow human beings and fellow creatures and planet for that matter. They wouldnt get that in a thousand sunday masses or by having water poured over their heads by a pedofile in a dress.
Hopefully 'na daoine na hEireann' will revert back to paganism and get back to respecting nature before its too late.

Irish are sex mad degenerates, drunks, cokeheads, gamblers, nudists(on our holiers) and spendthrifts and loving it!
Ian Paisley is right about Rome Rule - Fuck the Pope.
Islam can fuck off back to Mecca too.
Muslim immigrants can wear their shoes over the threshold but throw away the Koran and hajibs and have the craic.
Yawn! We hear stupid surveys like this about Americans all the time eg 10% know where Texas is. No intelligent person believes such surveys, nor would an intelligent person answer the questions honestly. As regards the end of religion here, well sadly Islam might replace it but happily I think football will. The next war will hopefully wipe out all the Manchester United supporters from Ireland. Then we'll be free of smarmy gits and the country will be a better place. Come on Chelsea!
I suppose if a kiddie of today doesn't understand transubstantiation, then the homoousia or homoiousia or iota or stigmatic guilt are non-starters. Maybe this is why so many of my references have previously gone un-noted by Irish readers. I reckon that's a bit sad considering how much of our canon of literature is reliant on some familiarity with not only the core Christian myths, legends, stories but also many of the lesser morality tales, ethical frameworks & of course the reasons for protestantism.
Oh well this is what you get when you offer gentiles the baptism.
if you don't know what the word means look it up. It appears most of Joyce will needed to be re-annotated for the future. By the way the sponsors of this poll are champions of conservative family values & I wouldn't see it as being reliable enough to completely write off latent knowledge of Christian figures. nor is it really anything to celebrate by those who yip yip;- I daresay the youngsters can't name 8 US presidents, 2 Anarchist writers, 5 key strikes, 5 famous Soviets or tell you who Fatima was.
If we had a cultural canon with which to replace over a millenia of framed philosophical conflict as well as dialogue - I'd be happy. But I'm not. I'm very saddened by this. No-one will bother annotating my work to explain the clever sneers and nods to medieval theological disputes. There are now so many people who will never get a clever giggle. Tragic. I warned ye Ratzinger would do this. Nihil Obstat +
have you forgotten where you stood on the homoousia?
This poll indicates that whilst most school call themseves 'Catholic', in fact very few are worthy of the title. The school authorities are engaged in sleight-of-hand and our children are the real losers.
If the Christian faith declines what will become of 'love thy neighbour'. I think we already know the answer - we have seen it in much of the history of the 20th Century.
So-called 'christian' bigotry has nothing to do with Christ and everything to do with tribalism, the opposite of 'love thy neighbour'.
A Dhiabhail!
Fuair Íosa bás in aisce, muise! ;-)
The decline of Christianity in Ireland is long over due.
I presume this poll relates to the southern 26 counties but I'm sure the same situation exists in Northern Ireland as well.
If the Protestant and Catholic traditions are declining it means that sectarian hatred will also inevitably decline.
I welcome the rise of secular society in Ireland.
The majority of Irish people seems increasingly indifferent to religion of any variety whatsoever.
Some right wing commentators are terrified about the rise of Islamic extremism in Ireland.
Hopefully this poll will assure them that if Ireland people have lost interest in Catholicism and Protestantism, then they certainly will have no time for other religious idiots.
