    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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
