A tour of the murals in Belfast shows the difference nicely I find.
Republican murals are somewhat fewer but have higher production values. They’ve clearly starved the kids for a bit to buy paint and used their legions of unemployed to do the work but my God they’ve put the effort into the drawings. Very instagrammable and aimed at the tourist market but a bit gaudy as well, the premiership footballer’s mansion of sectarian bigotry.
Loyalist murals are far more numerous and much less interesting. The brushwork isn’t as good and the messages hardly get any deeper than ‘fuck the pope lmao’. They rotate the same few themes and motifs just as Germanics fixate on particular phrases or sayings.
Half of these are muslim countries
What I gathered from this list is that Séamus should be Protestant to stop with the exceptions to Catholic countries.
I think its controversial to call Sweden protestant here on on this sub.
Ireland really is having a rough time it when ye really think about it. The West coast needs to start charging a “eatin yer shit weather” fee.
If I wanted religious sectarianism I’d go to the pub during old firm
We have a lot of blasphemies thanks to catholicism, catholicism rocks dio porco ladro bastardo infame lurido boia inculato nella valle dei cazzi arrapati
Our landscape is pretty majestic, and rugged if not mountainous.
The protestant countries have been catholic far longer than they have been protestant, just look at England, it’s no coincidence that most, if not all, major cathedrals there were built by catholics: Norwich cathedral, Westminster Abbey, York Minster, Lincoln cathedral, etc.
No sea but we do have lots of pretty lakes!
They’re kinda our balconies, tourists and immigrants/refugees sometimes drown because they underestimate how cold it can suddenly get even when the water is mostly warm.
I feel like Barry would be a natural in this competition too!
Catholic Germans got the best of both worlds. It truely is glorious here. Good food and money and the ability to buy your way into paradise. Fuck protestant Germany.
Best of both worlds
Giovanni calling Bavaria poor 😮
Is Bavaria poor now? I wish I was poor like Bavaria
Yep we tick all those boxes, honestly sometimes i think we just stayed Catholic to spite the English.
Convert to Protestantism they say, they’ll give you rights they say ….. in our own damn country!! Well fuck them guys i hope they all die of red diarrhea
Bro called austria and belgium poor
Norwegian wood churches are magnificent tho
Ireland
– “rich”… well the corporations are rich
– not “top tier cuisine… Ulster fry is the best breakfast you’ll ever get and we made flavoured crisps so fuck you
– weather… okay you got us there
– Ireland has some class beaches
– Ireland has some lovely wee mountains
Luigi, I’d suggest you do some actual research before starting a war, otherwise your stupid like motorbike is gonna go boom boom
What do you mean that Ireland doesn’t have top tier cuisine. Haven’t you heard of Coddle?
Lutherans do not believe in that predestination nonsense, but then again I didn’t expect Luigi to do his theological homework (or any work for that matter) before attempting a bit of banter.
Ironically its you who constantly have to prove yourselves to the Lord to feel reassured of salvation, for us its enough to have faith 😇

QED
My province is catholic as heck
The major Dutch religion is Catholicism and has been since the 1930’s again. The South and East have always been more Catholic. That’s why we have Carnaval and have [this beauty](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/De_grootste_kathedraal_van_Nederland%2C_de_Sint_Janskathedraal_in_%27s-Hertogenbosch.jpg).
