Oh well.
As long as everybody has a "god" to forgive them they kill all they want.

Absolutely, The Orange Day parade is notorious. Its where the protestants celebrate Prince William of Orange 's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. The Proddies march through catholic areas to rub their noses in it, so the Catholics shoot and petrol bomb them. Riots ensue.
Its like I said, these people can hold a grudge 400 years with no effort. And about things that happened long before the British got thier.
Williams troops were half English and Scottish Protestants, the rest being Dutch Infantry, and mercenaries from various countries, including ireland, Holland and germany. They were better trained and equipped with the latest high tech flintlock muskets.
James had several regiments of French troops, but most of his main infantry was provided by Irish Catholics, with some English and Scottish Jacobites also present. The Jacobites' Irish cavalry, who were recruited from among the dispossessed Irish gentry, proved themselves to be high calibre troops during the course of the battle. However, the Irish infantry contingent, predominantly peasants who had been pressed into service, were not trained soldiers. They had been hastily trained, poorly equipped, and only a minority of them had functional muskets. In fact, some of them carried only farm implements such as scythes. Furthermore, the Jacobite infantry who actually had firearms were all equipped with the obsolete matchlock musket. The French and Irish troops wore a white rallying mark, as a compliment to the Bourbons and to distinguish them from the Williamites.
So the proposition that the English fought only on one side doesnt hold water, patrick. The armies were organised on sectarian grounds, not race, nationality or class.

some of the most heinous things done by man are done in the name of god...
i dont think god would approve of that...
god is not a "religious" entity...religion is a man made concept to control and divide.
god is not such a creature.
