You are not alone mate, not by a long shot, but that little band over there on that moral high ground will preach to you that this is forbidden. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca72 440 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 In what way? Does this help explain it for you? Bluenoses are born, not manufactured, We do not choose, we are chosen Those who don’t understand don’t matter, Those who understand need no explanation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,299 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Our history & heritage is of a scottish protestant unionist club. If we wish to become a truly global brand then we must become all-inclusive. I don't have a problem with that so as we don't lose our history & heritage which we shouldn't do. Is it not the case Rangers now have more catholic supporters than Celtic have protestant supporters? Bet that would upset some over at the girodome. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,448 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Rangers undoubtedly have a strong protestant history/following, however being brought up in East Lothian it was never an issue,having said that it has recently become more of a problem,IMO. For me though religion,luckily, has never been an issue. Each to their own with regards to religion but I have a real hatred for religion in general but also have a degree of respect for their belief,but it has never had anything to do with football for me.

Then you need to define what you mean by "protestant" - in your case, and in many others', I suspect it defines what you are not, rather than what you are. You cannot logically be an atheist and a Protestant. You can, however be an atheist and a protestor against the doctrines and teachings of the Roman Catholic church. And if you are, why are you? Do you have doctrinal issues with the Romans? Or is your 'protestantism' actually a social result of the division caused in society by the segregated schooling system enforced on society by the RC church? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
