Should ridiculous references to God and menage a toi be removed from constitution

CONSTITUTION OF IRELAND – BUNREACHT NA hÉIREANN CONSTITUTION OF IRELAND
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred,
We, the people of Éire,
Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through centuries of trial,

This is not a joke it really does say this.
This has to face a legal challenge from Irish people of different beliefs.How can atheists accept this?

This has to be removed to spare us from ridicule.

I don't really care, both in the sense I don't care if the Irish constitution mentions Jesus or Christianity, and in the sense that I don't care how ridiculous you think that Jesus and Christianity are.

I'd rather see religion removed from our schools, legal system and medical system first. It's a lot more important than the preamble of the constitution.

'cause this is the only thing that could be used to ridicule our country...

Well, I suppose it has been about 6 hours since a God thread.

TeddyTedson

Of course, Religion is personal.

poeticseraphim

Yes....it should be removed

But it would be better to remove it from the entire system first.

pablomakaveli

It should be removed yes but as others have said we have bigger problems to worry about at the moment.

As an atheist, I don't care about it, because it doesn't really concern me, however I would like to see it removed.

It does concern me though that these two ads were served up to me on this page

Ever tried to shag a Holy Ghost?

Can I just not have an interest in religion and not be labelled an athiest? Like middle ground kinda thing without the silly labels.

No there both the same:D

I think a better explaination for the virgin birth would be that Joseph flicked it or she never wiped the rim.

jasonmcco

Or maybe the holy ghost was wearing a holy condom

It's one of those questions where there isn't a middle ground. Particularly where Christianity is concerned. Either someone commits their life to following Jesus and His word, or they reject Him.

If you don't want to be called an atheist that's fine, but there isn't really a middle ground.

Come on now. You can't reject something that doesn't exist.

Not just that section...the constitution as it stands was ratified in 1937. With modest amendments since that date.

It was effectively drafted by DeValera. - a conservative catholic and then handed to archbishop Charles McQuaid Before being sent for verification to the feking Vatican...I kid you not...

And we wonder why the RCC have a stranglehold over this dank fethid little island.

How about we fuel a bonfire with all the extant copies of the constitution and place all our beloved clerics on top....

A nice return of the Auto de Fe but for this time for those that first invented it

Ok

flutterflye

Yes, of course it should be removed.
A sh1tload of 'The people of Eire' do not acknowledge our obligations to some made up drivel.
It should be removed from the constitution, the courtroom, the schools, everywhere except churches.

Did you even understand the posts you quoted?

Or were you as bemused by those posts as we are by yours?
