<<Regarding sectarian violence in Northern Ireland>>
I was a young catholic of 9 when the the "troubles" started and was well aware of what was happening. There is a direct link between that and the passing of the pro-killing abortion law of 1967, the first legalised killing taking place in Jan 1968. Because this nation showed a callous disregard for human life then God judged this nation with IRA terrorism.

God's obviously gone soft on the abortion issue, then, given that IRA terrorism seems to have stopped, and the 1967 Act remains in force. Except, of course, in Northern Ireland, which was specifically exempted from the Act. Dimwit.
God gives up easy doesn't he 'cause He's not doing it now. God punishes me for my sins by taking just one of each pair of socks I have so leaving me with odd socks, What a pushover He is since I can live with odd socks no problem and still I sin as much as I want. 'Course, when I say sin, I mean I just behave normally as an average type of chap.
So, you're saying that William of Orange caused parliament to write the 1967 Abortion Act? Maybe the Abortion Act retrospectively caused the potato famine? Was there a provision in the Act which called for members of the 1st Parachute Regiment to fire on protesters on Bloody Sunday? Because, of course, nothing else could have been the root cause of the "troubles" except for the bleeding 1967 Abortion Act, to a gibbering slack - witted alter boy like you anyway.
The removal of parasistic clumps of cells and tissue isn't killing.
And abortion is legal in lots of other countries which don't have terrorist problems, IRA or otherwise, so it appears your theory is shot to hell, doesn't it?
Because this nation showed a callous disregard for human life then God judged this nation with ___________________________ (fill in the blank with your choice of - war, natural disaster, disease, etc.)
That's the fundie God for you - kill anyone in the same (town, village, country, planet) who happens to be standing by.

I choose to fill in the blank with "a callous disregard for human life."

Just once I would like to see God move all the cloud's in the sky to make them read "Oi! Cut it out!"
Instead he writes "Allah" up there, and on the sides of dogs and sheep, and not in English, either. Sometimes he puts Mickey Mouse on the side of a cow. Hahaha, what a joker god is.
So Irish outrage at English injustice had nothing to do with it?....
Heres a clue; There was never any
"pro-killing abortion law of 1967"
No killing was ever legalized.
And nobody judged Ireland with IRA RESISTNCE TO ENGLISH RULE.
Please try again when you get some FACTS
This is why I should be god. I would come down from the sky and be like "Look fellas, I don't really like that" as opposed to mass destruction. And I'd let everyone in heaven, which would be an amusement park.
Of course, because the IRA isn't comprised of real people, with real issues. No, they were just poofed up by god because he was peeved.
> God judged this nation with IRA terrorism.
Fascinating! Usually God judges nations with plagues of locusts and droughts and other nonpersonal crap like that. It makes deciphering the God's intentions really damn hard! But here we have instead a divine judgment in form of a group of people. A good upstanding Christian group, no less! Let's go and ask them exactly how did God send them here on Earth. I'm sure all theologians are just dying to know this stuff!

Add a 'zoo' (cageless) and make sure my cats are there and you have my vote!
That makes you 49 now. At that age you should realise that the Troubles were caused by mixing religion and politics. The Northern Ireland protestants, mainly Calvinist in shading, were delighted when, at the partition of Ireland in 1922 they got a 'protestant state for a protestant people. Catholics were actively discriminated against on the basis of religion, and voting was a sham with legal second and third voted going to protestants on bases that only they were likely to fulfil. In this way the IRA was the monster spawn of protestantism as manifested in NI. And all else that happened stemmed from that.
BTW, as a Catholic, you seem to have changed sides. This is never a sign or reliability or trustworthiness. Consequently we are at liberty to discount every word you have said. Turncoat! Keep clear of the IRA. They are probably watching you for the shiftiness of character that you are displaying here.
And being equally polarised, Catholics in NI will never trust you again; and protestants will despise you for turning. You are in a mess.
umm, I have a good friend in NI and she said abortion is illegal there, and that if a woman wants an abortion she has to take a boat to England to get one. If this guy was from Northern Ireland wouldn't he know that?

Why isn't god printing "stop abortions" on grilled cheese sandwiches instead of pictures of himself? It seems like it would be more effective.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. It's a logical fallacy. You commit it.
(I know the IRA started in 1916 and the UK Parliament Abortion Act was 1967. I'm doing him the courtesy of assuming he intended to refer to the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) campaign of 19691997. Of course if he did mean that, he didn't say it, so perhaps I'm being too generous.)
Effect =/= Cause
You fail.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
