WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Sounds just like the catholic church Norman. I remember an old priest telling an ex of mine (mid 90's) that we were both going to hell, amongst other things. Sounds like every organised religion. Any reason you singled out one in particular? Nah, I'm sure that actually happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) It was a controversial match for a city divided by sectarianism: Cathy was a Catholic, while Alex was Protestant. But he was following the example of his father, who himself had ‘broken a taboo’ by marrying a Catholic woman. In 1967, Alex moved to Rangers, which was to prove problematic. Rangers and Celtic, the two big football teams in Glasgow, are representative of the city’s religious divide. Most Protestants support Rangers; most Catholics back Celtic. On the day he signed for the club at Ibrox, one of the directors asked him about his wife’s religion and Alex confirmed she was a Catholic. When he said they had married in a register office, the director replied: ‘Well that’s all right then.’ In his autobiography, Alex recalled feeling a sense of ‘poisonous hostility’ towards him from Willie Allison, Rangers’ PR manager, and also calls him a ‘bigot’ for his dislike of Catholics. When a story appeared in a Scottish newspaper headlined: ‘Ferguson finished at Ibrox’, he suspected Allison was behind it. He quit Rangers after just two years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2322233/Why-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-wife-Cathy-formidable-him.html In his autobiography 'Managing My Life', Ferguson tells how he left Ibrox reluctantly and cursed himself shortly thereafter for doing so. He had been frozen out of the first team following a Cup final defeat to Celtic. But soon after he left, Willie Waddell took over from Davie White as manager and Waddell told Ferguson shortly afterwards that he would have been picked for the first team if he had stayed. Not only that but highly-respected Ibrox figures Bob McPhail and Willie Thornton had urged Ferguson to stay at Ibrox - without being able to reveal to him that White was on the way out.

Bendarroch Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I despised the blue half more. *An analogy (again, get an adult to explain): If Ahmed and his family suffer violence as a result of Israeli occupation and he reacts by throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, does that make him anti-semitic? Or would his attitude towards the Israelis be formed by their actions? WKR is shouted at by some Rangers supporters. Compares it to Israeli military occupation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, only some of the directors were bigots. That's all right then, at least it wasn't all of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i was forgetting how about tolerant that particular church is when it comes to gay rights, silly me. It was his granny and aunts who actually reported him to the priest for being gay, unf**king believable. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoo9uk Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ah, the last refuge. I had a wee bet with myself you'd roll that one out at around half eight. Congratulations on your self-control. Yep, I think Jardine behaved like a c**t. Yep, he contracted cancer. Join the dots, fuckwit. As for "jibes", I posted it on here once. One particular poster continues to resurrect it on a regular basis when he's trying to deflect from him getting his arse handed to him yet again. Any particular reason? Other than being shown up to be thick as f**k yet again? Oh dear,is that me a fuckwit now? Listen I know you don't like to be reminded of it but it ain't going away anytime soon....;-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson's problem really seems to have been with one man, Willie Allison (not a director). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give No. 8 a bell and ask him to recommend a clever grown-up. Then ask said grown-up to explain the difference between "analogy" and "comparison". While one is based on the mechanics of the other, the two are not synonymous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes i was forgetting how about tolerant that particular church is when it comes to gay rights, silly me. It was his granny and aunts who actually reported him to the priest for being gay, unf**king believable. A wee bit less draconian than some religions, mind. "Islamic Shari'ah law is extracted from both the Qur'an and Muhammad's Sunnah (found in the Hadith and Sira). Islamic jurisprudence are expansion of the laws contained within them by Islamic jurists. Therefore, they are seen as the laws of Allah. You need only look to the rulings under Shari'ah to see the accepted mainstream interpretation of Islam and its commandments to its followers. Homosexuality under this law, is not only a sin, but a punishable crime against God. In the case of homosexuality, how it is dealt with differs between the four mainline schools of Sunni jurisprudence today, but what they all agree upon is that homosexuality is worthy of a severe penalty. In the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is first punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, the death penalty is to be applied. As for the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment as adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication. The Hanafi differentiates between the two acts because in homosexuality, anal sex [something that is prohibited, regardless of orientation] may also be involved, while in adultery [and fornication], the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved. Some scholars, based on the Qur'an and various ahadith, hold the opinion that the homosexual should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death[1] as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death. [2] Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas the passive partner is to be killed regardless of his marital status.[3]" Makes the threat of not getting into God's happy playground and feeding imaginary furnaces pretty tame, from where I'm standing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WKR - now suitably embarrassed by his latest ridiculous claim - seeks to muddy waters and engage in semantics.

Likely outcome - semantics comparable to napalm attack on Yorkshire. Embarrassed? Ridiculous claim? You'll have to be more specific.

WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ah sorry Die hard should have been... Killie Hmmm... Still wrong, I'm afraid.

WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 What, just because you say it is wrong makes it so? don't think so die hard. No, my confused little berr.

WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Either do you. ? Looks like somebody else has got the berr-English translator for the evening then, I take it. Another five-star performance. Actually Tedi, you're a wee bit late this evening. The get-along gang have all been on and then fucked off again. Please don't get into another bollox-fest with HB if he shows up - I thought there had been something happening when I saw the number of posts the other morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Ah.. How does the game go? I remember, work it out for yourself was what I was told.. Work it out for yourself. It's not a game, Tedi, it's a language - brilliant concept for clear communication, I've always thought. One shouldn't need to have crossword-solving skills to decode a three-word riposte. It's a shame you capitalised it, thereby removing the easy "typo" excuse. I reckon you should be getting off to kip - yesterday's trauma is obviously affecting you. Before you go, though: McCoist or Green? Legend or Shyster? What can rangers do about that pesky Mhedia upsetting the poor bairns? What can rangers do to combat the effects of the whind next time out? Can we expect to see the ibrox giants ( ) make a sensational swoop for Swankie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
