But I can't honestly think of 3 "out and proud" bigots on either
newsgroup.



biz

Liam, hoopsbhoy, du the husker, etc etc, all bigots

Hilarious.

My wife's Church of Scotland, so's my mum. Ex-wife is a Methodist,
best pal and best man at both my weddings is C.O.S. My mate I sit next
to on our supporter's bus is protestant, along with about 20% of the
rest of the bus, I also watch any away games I don't attend with him in
the pub. I also went to a protestant school where, guess what, most of
my mates were/are protestant. I've never been a protestant but can't
understand why you think I'd want to hate them purely based on their
religion.

One Scotland, many cultures. And all the better for it.

Bigots like yourself are a dying breed and a changing society has
decided that you're no longer the peepul.
Correctoin du, there is no such thing as a Protestant school. The only
Protestant School (a wee free one) closed. The two main schooling
streams are Non-Denominational and Roman-Catholic.


That may be the official line Oso but there was a minister from St
Stephens at every single assembly I attended in the six years I was
there. We had bible readings and he gave always gave a wee sermon. I
doubt my school was that much different from the rest.
Well when I was at Shawlands (as a teacher) religious observation was
entirely voluntary with visitors from a wide range of faiths.
I guess it was voluntary at my school but only in the very loosest sense and
not in the way I'd use the word voluntary. It was actually compulsary to
attend and required a letter from parent/guardian to opt out. It only
appeared to be Jehovah Witnesses that left the hall before the religious
stuff began.

You may call it non-denominational but a weekly sermon from a Church of
Scotland minister left a different memory in my mind. My oldest bhoy went
to a 'non-denominational' school, each end of term having a service held in
the local protestant church. I've got no problems with it as when you get
away from the extremists and bigots, all the major religions are preaching
much the same thing.
