    They would have saved time and effort by simply having David Quinn say "I believe in Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve", because that's basically the message of the video.At least the helpful diagram resolved the question of where babies come from.

    Nothing backward about expressing your views.

    What is backward is to consider such views to be backward.

    The iona institute can take its bull****, discriminatory ad and shove it up the highest point of its unevolved, primitive hole.

    Best taken care of by a father and a mother- not factually true


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    I know they got paid for it but the actors must feel repugnant being recorded saying that shizz.

    Hands up, who else groaned when they saw the logo at the end to show who produced this masterpiece?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,741 ✭✭✭✭Ally Dick


    I couldn't care less if a gay or a lesbian couple want to get married. It's none of my business. I don't understand people who want to make it theirs

    Those voiceover artists should be ashamed of themselves. Anything for a quick buck

    Maybe, maybe not. That would be a hard one to prove alright.

    Quote for advert: Every child ever born had a mother and a father.

    Where does that leave the baby jesus?



    By the way folks, here are the iona institute patrons as listed on their website....

    Professor Patricia Casey: Patricia Casey is a senior consultant psychiatrist at the Mater Hospital in Dublin, as well as a lecturer at University College, Dublin.


    Breda O'Brien: Breda O'Brien is a teacher and a columnist with The Irish Times. She is best known for her commentary on religious and social affairs.


    Fergus O'Donoghue SJ: Fr O'Donoghue is a Jesuit. He is the Editor of Studies, a quarterly journals dealing with matters of religion and culture. Prior to becoming Editor of Studies, he was a lecturer in Church history at Milltown Institute.


    Dr James Sheehan: James Sheehan is founder of the Blackrock, Galway Clinics and Hermitage Clinics, private medical facilities which operate according to a Catholic ethos.


    Vincent Twomey: Fr Twomey is a member of the Divine Word Missionaries. He was professor of moral theology at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, until 2006. He is one of Ireland's foremost experts in Catholic moral theology.




    I suggest you do your research on these patrons.

    This is shiit.

    They are making A point, which they are fully entitled to do.

    Getting a bit tired of 'it's OK to express your view as long add it's to a similar belief system as mine'. Usually trotted out by people telling others they should just accept everything.

    Now, maybe they should in some instances, but attacking them is not always the way to go about it.

    I couldn't care less about marriage of any kind personally.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Who cares about something like this video either way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    Nothing backward about expressing your views.

    What is backward is to consider such views to be backward.

    But the views that one can hold, can very easily be backwards. To criticise backward views as being backward is actually more of a sign of progression. For example, I can safely say that the KKK hold backward views, can I not?

    Not every view holds the same amount of weight and the IONA institute's views tend to hold no weight whatsoever, the IONA institute's view in this regard is bigoted, they merely attempt to come across as balanced but they are most definitely not.

    "There's nothing different about different rules for different circumstances"

    Okay so let's make black people, just because of a difference in skin colour, sit at the back of the bus I mean it's okay because they are in a different circumstance of skin than white people right?

    Get out of here mate if you don't think this video is backward, opinion is there own but our opinion is it's BACKWARD.

    This video makes me sad :(

    Sure, everyone is entitled to their views, but I think it's wrong when those views that some people shouldn't have the right to marry the person they love are given a public platform.

    Are they only idiots if they don't agree with your opinions?

    For the record I have nothing against two gays getting married and adopting kids but I also think that the mother and father thing is best.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,555 ✭✭✭Sar_Bear


    What... What is that utter shit?!


    I know alot of kids who would be better off with two mams or two dads instead of the shitty parents they have now.

    I am not interested in the "baby Jesus" thing at all as I am not a bit religious.
    I don't care who the patrons are either.
    I gave my own opinion as I saw it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    Are those views backward?

    They want to limit the rights to equality of a group of people because their religion does not support it. That hardly constitutes a progressive viewpoint. Same sex couples are as good parents as any, studies have proven this so their points are moot. Their entire argument boils down to, 'Won't somebody please think of the children?'. They are required to be extremely ignorant of the actual facts or choosing to lie to push their agenda.

    I gauged that from the offset.
    That is why I included the word "folks" in my post, as in "By the way folks, here are the iona institute patrons as listed on their website".

    Just youtube. It can't be aired on tv because we don't allow political ads on TV

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Nothing wrong with this group exercising their free speech.

    I am not bothered one way or another by homosexuals getting married and adopting kids once they raise them without purposely imposing Gay lifestyles on them.

    I hate to be one who delivers reality to you, but 90% of Irish people would agree with this advertisement.

    Just how it is. Getting angry at the ad won't change things.

    The problem is that the two 'camps' (pun intented) are devided between religious nutters and poltically correct nutters.

    In the middle falls the majority of the Irish nation. These are the ones you need to inflence with calling them bigots.
