Not if you are a Christian it does not.




If you look at the vast majority of political change over the last 500 years it has come about successfully by peaceful methods. That is what works and is lasting.

It isn't or shouldn't be about religion. It is about normal human decency and value for the sanctity of life!

Agree that peaceful methods are the only true and lasting way of achieving political change! It is like people arguing on a chat show - who takes those that shout the loudest seriously - it is the calm, rational people that you listen to!

It wasn't really about religion though, it was about our country being invaded and our people being murdered and forced to speak another language

I didn't mean that - I was responding to LCs comment that the perspectives of Christians didn't change according to where they were sitting!

Apologies then. Though I have to say Christians weren't very innocent in the "not killing people" game!

Hence why I am not religious - more murder has been committed in the name of religion than any other cause - which makes a complete mockery of religion fullstop!

wrong

the people to whom you refer were not Christians

they were murderers who called themselves Christians. Christianity is measured against the life and teachings of Jesus.

Do not mark Christianity against the fallen ways of man.

I do agree with you and the IRA are no more. But don't forget that the IRA were a reaction to an action not the other way around
