Agnosticism IS the most dishonest position

[Belacqua]

My only post of interest is to ask Belaqua if he's aware of the innitial 'Kick off' shall we say of why there is even a 'Northern ireland?

Yes, this seems reasonable.

For example, Mr. Greene said a bit earlier that the Troubles started due to Ian Paisley's sectarianism. That may well be true for a particular set of violent events, but I suspect that Paisley would put the origin further back. 

There is a very sad history of England's rule of Ireland, that goes back through famine and violence for a very long time. English people were more likely to be Protestant, and Irish people to be Catholic. 

As an example from not so long ago (in historical time scales) we can look at the early 20th century war for Irish independence. See if you can spot any theological disputes in the Wikipedia page for this violence. (By the word "theological" I mean claims about the nature of God or the truth of his actions in the world. I do not mean people identifying themselves with one sect or another.)
