I think it's ridiculous that people who
don't go to church or believe in God insist on calling themselves
a certain religion.
I think most people are quite alike
and don't want any trouble and there is only a small minority of 'idiots'
who base their opinions on peoples' religious beliefs and give the
rest of us trouble and give N. Ireland a bad name.
I think the fighting over religion is
pointless, as we are all human beings + there is no need to be fighting
over a label a person has.
I think too few young people understand
what the "other side" believe in. Many don't believe anything themselves
and are only Catholic or Protestant in name.
If people feel strongly about their
religion then of course, there are going to be conflicts with people
that have different beliefs. Water and oil just don't mix! The thing
that annoys me is that over the post 20 years the Protestant people
have been intimidated by Sinn Fein. IRA and many have been murdered
but yet the leaders of Sinn Fein sit in our government, drive fancy
cars + live lives of luxury, where is the justice?
Problems arise due to narrow-minded people
from each of the 2 main religions, with most of them not actually
going to church, and don't know why they hate the other.
