A Huns concept of Protestant

Was speaking to a hun mate/acquaintance (I use the term loosely) the other day about the current poppy hysteria which as sure as day follows night led him to start on the usual * regarding the huns place in the union. The pro-union protestant line emerged as the preferred justification for his ramblings.

At this point when any debate on the subject of religion arises with a hun I would simply ask where they attend services each week, usually killing their argument stone dead. Naturally he didnt know what to say to this but instead chose to argue about loyalty to the queen and the protestant tradition being his main motivation for being a hun.

I then ask him how the queen being an Anglican sat with his presumably Presbyterian heritage.... The daft * didnt even know the difference!! When I pointed out that the Anglican church in both Scotland and Ireland traditionally looked upon Presbyterians as peasants and asked how this sat whith loyalty to an Anglican queen he just says im being a smart * and changes the subject.

In an attempt to divert his obvious humiliation he starts on about his protestantism being more along the lines of culture, history & freedom of speech etc. rather than overtly religious. I say to him 'thats good but your ideology is about 300 years out of date' and ended the conversation abruptly out of frustartion with his refusal to accept my '* pish'.

Anyway, have any of you guys had a hun attempt to school you on their protestant religion which they actually know nothing about? Any anecdotes you may have might be worth a laugh.

 

they dont give a * about their own religion, they just hate catholics, end of, * the lot

 

I love it when you question people like thats faith and beliefs, not because i don't think everyone is entitled to their beliefs etc but i question them because they don't believe in it, not really. They're just blindly following a family member who is part of it and asked them to come along one day and join up for cheap bevvy and getting a beating off of their "order" in whatever they call that mad thing.

You asked good questions to de-rail his argument before it started though, i'll have to remember those ones.

*Where do you attend services every week. (Because most of them dont!)
*Queen being Anglo and him being Presbyterian how that makes him feel.

Haha can't wait to hit my mate with those two. He's another sheep blindly following in the footsteps of his grandfather, not really knowing what it's all about yet claiming to know it all.

 

The thing is - they have the Queen (FTQ for short) as their kind of icon.

She is by chance the head of a Church so blatantly close to Papist Catholicism that Catholics are often confused and (own experience) my mother only realised once just before the end that it 'wisnae Catholic'.

The Anglican Church is basically Catholicism without the Pope. The hun anti Catholic argument has very little to do even with religion and certainly today NONE of them understand anything about their proud ¡protestant traditions'.

I could go on, but their ignorance on their own identity does not deserve the attention of the Onion.

(I'm atheist btw)

 

I'm atheist myself bud. You're right though their ignorance leaves many speechless. lol

Edit:I actually just remembered something about their ignorance.

Ok so my mate, he is a mate cos i've known him since we were wee i'm not shallow minded, but he is.

Anyway. So he's in the orange order or whatever it's called, so that means he hates Catholics right?

Yet World Cup and EURO Championships he supports Italy.

I'd love for him to go through the whole of Italy and find 1 protestant. No doubt there are some, but it would take him a long * while to get to them.

 

Exactly Connellygeezer. A tad schizophrenic?

The thing is Protestantism has been hijacked by this group of Austraolpethecines. Soime of the greatest religious people I have ever met were CoS ministers. The more radical ( and truly Chrsitain element) among them are laudable. The CoS itself is a failry open institution from my experience. The protestant -Rangers connection is a shame I think.

I can't fathom it out. Einstein couldn't either. He never ever finished his theory of Hunnativity. Some things are beyond science.

 

No doubt it was trying to come to the conclusion of the Theroy of Hunativity that killed the poor old sod.

Rest in Peace Einstein. You gave it your best shot.

 

I think the queen still sees herself as a scot and a catholic.

She is descended from the Stuart dynasty and seems to prefer staying at Balmoral more than anywhere else.

Same goes with Charlie who went to Gordonstoun school & William went to St Andrews Uni.

The royals are very Scottish & they are the decendants of Scottish kings (catholic ones) - put that to your mate next time he spouts of loving the protestant English queen.

 

I love arguing with uber-Prods, they're so easy to take apart and always resort to insults.

I'm an athiest but I was baptised a Protestant.

 

Are you sure? I've been told the Royal family descended from Germans? lol

 

I thought the Stuart dynasty ended after the 'Glorious Revolution'? Since then there hasn't been a Catholic monarch, even though the CoE is pretty similar.

 

Yeah, Glorious Revolution killed off Stuart dynasty's claim to the throne and William of Oranje (Queen Billy) was placed on the throne to end the 'threat' of having a Catholic monarch. As a result the Windsors are of German/Dutch origins. Hence why in WWI King Edward was fighting his cousin

 

I wouldnt waste my time.

They have no idea what they are that lot and as others have said, 99% are just sheep that have no idea what they are proclaiming in their bitter songs.

 

I can't help musing what a few thousand miles and a couple of hundred years have done to change the face of Anglicanism (Episcopal) and Presbyterianism in the US. These two are among the most progressive, forward thinking denominations here, on excellent terms with Catholics and probably supportive of many of the same political stances that you have.

'our proud protestant heritage' makes me wonder what they're talking about. Martin Luther and the right to question authority? Ok, no problems for me there, but dressing funny and plying annoying music to * off your fellow citizens doesn't enter the picture

 

Everything about them is sad and pathetic. Uber-prods I mean, not the average Protestant who isn't interested in all the faith defending hun pish. I was talking to one recently who claimed * like stopping and playing louder outside chapels, even when services are on, when they have their marches doesn't happen anymore. Yeah, sure...

 

The problem is that most 'huns' (primitives that support a bigoted institution which shames our country) are simply psychotically anti-papist, anti-Irish and are not really sure why. They also have little to do with what actual Protestantism is as a branch of Christianity.

That is why they do not actually have a concept of what Protestantism is. They simply don't know.

 

True. Some can't even spell it, lol. All of them I know have no interest in going to church and don't know much about their supposed religion at all, but still love regular digs at 'the papes'.

 

This isn't on religion, but still a hun with what I can only say rewrite history!

I was talking to a hun after a night out one time and we got on the subject of the IRA and the British Army and I was basically asking him how he could support the British Army trying to take over Ireland.
Honest to *, his answer was something along the lines of "There was a lot of problems in Ireland and the IRA asked the British Army for help and when they came over they started fighting against them for one reason or another"

I've heard bullshit before, but that was a different ball game.

 

I work with a hun everyday.......he aint into football,but tries to be when it suits him.

Working in belfast one day and he noticed a red hand flag through some window..."look at the ulster flag" he said......."thats not an ulster flag,there are 9 counties in ulster,that is a flag of the north " i said to him......"no,no that is ulster as we see it" was his final input.


Best one ever he came out with,leading up to the 12th july and he started talking pish about the fun he has on the 13th of july at scarva.

He said "the sham fight between King Billy and Saint James is a right laugh"......i stopped and said what,he repeated it,word for word..i thought i was hearing things but let him continue talk * for a couple of minutes where he continued to mention how "King Billy defeats Saint James" and the crowd go mental blah blah bullshit crap out of his face.

I had heard enough and said "i always thought K.Billy defeated King James,not Saint James".

 

My experiance of the prod or at least the the vast majority of them on this island and we are going from the very young to the very old religon wise is that their religon should be renamed " up to are necks in * blood " with henry viii as it's head and big bill his undrestudy, no Mary as they don't belive in her
