When people ask me why I hate the French, I tell them, "if you don't already know, telling you would not help."

When people ask me why I hate the Irish, I tell them for two reasons: Catholicism and the IRA. If you want to be a citizen of the Irish Republic, walk your A-double-S across the Ulster border and apply for citizenship--it's that simple--and no innocent persons get hurt. How's that for a plan?

The fact that there is any terrorist organization in a Christian country is a travesty, but when one looks to the Inquisition, the Crusades, Slovakia in WWII--well, let's just say not everyone who calls themself a Christian, or who thinks that they are one, is one according to Scripture...

Why, If you think yourself as Christian, would you openly say you hate French and Irish? BTW, I'm Irish and I'm married to a French woman.

re :When people ask me why I hate the Irish, I tell them for two reasons: Catholicism and the IRA.

I have Irish parents and I am also a Catholic, I also spent three tours of duty in North Ireland fighting the IRA and to a lesser extent their Orange counterparts the UDA and UFF.

Generalization is a dangerous thing to do.

I see that being a Pentecostal has obviously made you a very happy person. Your hate and ignorance are consuming you. How very Christian! I guess when you were reading your Bible, and interpreting it for yourself, you skipped over the passages containing the golden rule, love your enemies, and love thy neighbor as thyself.

Exposing you as a hypocrite is not enough for me, however. Now that I took the moral high road, I will come down to your level.

Anyway, you are a Pentecostal. Oh, I am going to have fun with you. Do you really speak in tongues, I mean, if we dropped you in any country on the planet, would you be able to converse with the local population? I will always defend my faith, but, you know that. You can obviously read my tag-line without looking up its meaning!

How about Salvation? Your Salvation must have been predetermined. I guess you can do whatever you want, and no matter what, you are already saved, huh? No need to do what Christ commanded, it does not matter, you were already chosen to be saved, and your actions won't affect it.

If you truly believe in God's grace, you shouldn't be so worried about the rapture. You know, hate is a very strong word. Better be careful, or you will be "left behind".

Heh, give me 10 Pentecostals, and I'll give you 10 different beliefs.

Well, that was entertaining. From experience, I find that Pentecostals are always the nicest of people. My grandfather was a Pentecostal, but thankfully, he swam the Tiber. I will pray for you, and hope that you will drop your hate. As you can see from my post, it is a two-edged sword. I do not hate Pentecostals at all, but when they attack me and my Church, I will defend it, by finding holes in the beliefs of the aggressor. BTW, I am an Irish-Catholic, and my first name is, *gasp*, Christian....

I will pray for and forgive you, and I hope you will do the same for me. God bless!

First of all, the overwhelming majority of Irish people hate the IRA, they are terrorist treacherous scum.

And what the hell is wrong with Catholicism? I hate bigotry.

[Youngblood]

Hoohah! Quite the big man, aren't you Malcom?

Dear Malcolm,
Have you considered enrolling in counseling or therapy? There are 800 million Catholics out there. You hate 'em all, eh? Isn't that a lot of hate to store in one small mind?
