Your response was “no real response”. If you don’t like my anecdotes from my personal experience, that is merely your problem.

The Irish Times in my day was known as the pro-Protestant/pro-English paper. Now it is pro-European Union. So you will forgive me if I take the context of Paisley’s quotes from that paper with a grain of salt, especially since his latter actions are more important than his former and even more since I regard the IRA and Sinn Féin (who many Catholics were foolish enough to support, foolish since they are socialists that were and are a greater danger to their religion than the DUP) as the greater evil.

If you’re worried about misinformed insult, you must not be very confident in your faith. Look to the Apostles, I suggest.

“Your response was “no real response”.”

Except that my original response shows you had no idea fo what you were talking about.

“If you don’t like my anecdotes from my personal experience, that is merely your problem.”

Your anecdotes do nothing to eliminate Paisley’s actual words. You keep ignoring those.

“The Irish Times in my day was known as the pro-Protestant/pro-English paper.”

It doesn’t matter. Only Paisley’s words - all of those listed are verified by other sources - matter. You continued attempts to ignore them do not.

“Now it is pro-European Union. So you will forgive me if I take the context of Paisley’s quotes from that paper with a grain of salt, especially since his latter actions are more important than his former and even more since I regard the IRA and Sinn Féin (who many Catholics were foolish enough to support, foolish since they are socialists that were and are a greater danger to their religion than the DUP) as the greater evil.”

All of what you just said is meaningless. Paisley’s words are genuine. You can look them up elsewhere. He said what he said. You refuse to deal with that fact.

“If you’re worried about misinformed insult, you must not be very confident in your faith. Look to the Apostles, I suggest.”

Look at Paisley’s own words, I suggest. You can’t refute them.
