I find it strange that the head of the Church of England is asking his subjects to volunteer an oath.
Voluntary oaths have generally been considered sinful by Christianity.

"And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin' for their promised land"

I think things matter more to me now.
I thought nothing mattered before I awoke. I was lost in a nihilistic spiral.
Now, even the most horrible things are beautiful in their horribleness. The beautiful, even more beautiful.
Plus, relearning history is awesome!

In everyday use, they pretty much are. But in religious terms, a vow is a promise to God only. An oath is a statement of promise/assertion to another person, with an appeal to God as witness as a self curse if sworn falsely. A covenant is an agreement between two or more parties.

Ah the Spirit of Brexit, is a bit like the Spirit of the Good Friday agreement. It's all very vague and nobody knows what it's about. 🙃

I thought getting nationalists to vote for unionist would be one of unionisms main goals. We might see a lot of 2nd preferences, even from Republicans, going the UUPs way in May from this "Beattie Bounce." Surely a positive thing for the Union if that happened.

I mean, of course. If RoI are forced to protect the SM due to UKG actions, we would do it at our ports, not on the border. A crap situation to be put in, but it's the least worst option. Then let EU/UK trade war commence, with as little RoI/NI impact as possible.
@MichelleDuffy33
I don't think it will settle, unless people make it settle. Figure out why and how Brexit occurred. Make peace with it. Then move forward. If rejoining the EU is the best way forward, then so be it. But first concentrate on healing those wounds.

Here's Sammy less than a week after Peter Robinson announced he was stepping down as DUP leader. Look at the smile on him.

He was being followed...
And they all left him and fled. 51 Now a young man followed him wearing nothing but a linen cloth about his body. They seized him, 52 but he left the cloth behind and ran off naked.

I'm surprised Rusty isn't getting the same bashing as the BBC. He was supposed to come to NI to denounce Fenianism, but he thought he came to Ireland to denounce Feminism. 🤣

One simple question. Had there been no GFA, would it still be possible for the UK parliament to 'subjugate' the Acts of Union? If yes, and I think it is, then why are you using this to reject the GFA? Pretty dangerous rhetoric.

Much and more has changed on these islands in the past 100 years, but the Man from the Daily Mail never changes, even when it's a woman.
