@GUBU Well aside from knowing that there were "troubles" in NI not having lived through the specific Trouble I don't have the same kind of emotional attachment or fears that those that lived through it went through. I've already expressed the reason for my levity and if you and Boru found it distasteful or offensive, you have every right to be offended. I could say tacos are disgusting and offend someone, it's the social contract I signed up for joining a forum. I frankly don't care if you believe that I find death, wars and the like deplorable, I don't need your social approval for my sense of what's right and I don't walk around being afraid to offend someone anymore. Please feel free to mute me.
This is what this topic was about... what drives your actions. What deep emotional fears and the attachment to those fears cause you to do. @BrianSoddingBoru4 I appreciate the insight that the Troubles affected some people in this circle and that it's less impactful now, and the research it prompted so that I could learn more.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
