    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.


    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

    :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭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.

    hotdamn lol

    Yes! Quite simply yes it should. It has no place being there as a religous belief is a personel thing and not a matter of state affairs. It should be OUTRIGHT BANNED! in schools and any religous rituals that normley take place during school hours be halted straight away! I just think its funny that the tax payers money is being spent on spreading religion in schools with these ceremonys on during school hours, where teachers are paid to attend mass with the children. I recall a recent statistic where 12% of primary school hours is dedicated to religeon and only a mere 8% to science and that to me is just disgraceful!

    Its time for a change in this country and I think abolishing religeon in all offial cases (Court,Government,education)would be a very good start.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,221 ✭✭✭Greentopia


    Yes, of course it should be removed but there are a number of areas religion should be removed from before we tackle the constitution.

    My reproductive rights. Education and schools. Healthcare and hospitals...
