Instrument choice doesn't measure a blip on my radar. I don't care, and you don't care...so why are we discussing it?
You betray your opening statement in the conclusion, but why should it matter - have either of us been discussing Ireland? No.
Since it's a political history of campaign ideology in public elections, the information is freely available to anyone who wishes to view it. Is there some requirement for you to waive away a political reality? Should these groups fail to serve their collective interests, is there some shame in accomplishing that goal?
Is adherence to scripture unimportant? Is christology unimportant? Is redemption unimportant?
What does resolving sola scriptura have to do with anything in this discussion? Have you even looked into the issue? Are you assuming (wrongly, it should be pointed out), that sola scriptura is core doctrine?
To what extent is the indeterminacy of, say, experimental findings in a scientific subfield an indictment on science? If it's not, how in God's name does your brain convince you that indeterminacy in a particular area of theology an indictment on religion?
It's confused responses like these that ask to be ignored.
How insular is your schism, are you unaware of how important that issue is, to catholics...for example? I suppose I could see why you don't see it as a core issue.....it's only a comment on the legitimacy of their entire faith organization.......it's only -self-stated- as a necessary part of their faith that they decide in favor of the church, and against the proposition in question.
The other two, then..any comments there? Will we be resolving any of these discrepencies this evening? You seem to think I'm indicting religion, or that this is even my goal, but it isn't. It's the ignorance and disrespect you're showing to christianity that's being indicted...in this thread. I guess you're just the fruit by which I'll know the tree.....
(that, would be an indictment of religion, btw)
