[QUOTE="alex04w, post: 6089288, member: 21104"] When it came to terrorism in Northern Ireland, it was convenient to label it as protestant against catholic. Those that took either name had no religion whatsoever. Those that claimed to be republican / nationalist (aka catholic) never followed the teaching of their church. Those in Sinn Fien / IRA were more Marxist than catholic. Those that claimed to be loyalist (aka protestant) never darkened the door of a church. They would not be able to explain the protestant religion, never mind what makes it to differ from catholicism. Every night this week at 8pm, the Rev Thomas Martin is speaking in Ballymena Free Presbyterian Church at 8pm. The meetings are being broadcast on the internet ( [URL]https://ballymenafpc.org/[/URL] ). Just follow the clear link to 'Live Broadcast' at the top of the churches web page. On Friday night 22nd March) Rev Martin will tell his life story - brought up a 'protestant' but never went to church. Knew nothing of religion. Join a proscribed loyalist terrorist organisation. Caught and sentenced to prison in the Maze Prison (the H Blocks). Whilst in prison he found the true meaning of being a 'protestant' and on his release from prison entered the churches college and became a minister. He is not scared to condemn his former associates as being nothing to do with the protestant religion. Listening to him on Friday night will give you an insight into the twisted and convoluted history of the troubles and how it had nothing to do with religion as those involved had no religions leanings whatsoever.
