Is the Irish Language Sectarian

[Crankycorner]

Most people that use such a phrase would have very little or no religious affiliation.

I’d imagine it’s much the same in Irish.

Not from Tigers Bay then? Steady on old chap, one lie at a time.

General area Adams Street to be exact

We need to get ris of the relegious terms if we are to be a country that is fully secular as envishigued by our President

 

[daftbrush]

ah lads this is a completely pointless thread. Many people still say god bless in English, is this sectarian too?

Has to go Cranky get used to it

The link between the Irish language and Catholicism is an issue worth discussing.
Another good thread from dafty. Keep up the good work.

Off with you then.
Threw up a lengthy post discussing it on this shit thread m8. I didn't think it could get much worse but you could change all that.
The excitement is palpable.

According to you the thread is shit yet still you feel the need to get involved. Strange cookie.

 

[Meself like!]

Irish speakers use phrases such as Dia Guit and It gets worse Dia Agus Marie Guit and worse again Dia Agus Marie agus Marie agus Padraig Guit. Slan Agus Bennacht is constantly used on RTE
Is it time now to dispense with these phrases and secularise the Irish Language or will there be resistance to change.

What a stupid thread title. The Irish language was around 1000 years before the relatively secular concept of sectarianism was invented. Yet youre saying it should change because of it. Go away will ya.

Let's discuss the link between Catholicism and the English language while we're at it.

Mother of God!
Forbidden fruit
Christ!
Gone through hell
Better the devil you know
Holy shit!
Heaven's above!
To hell and back
God bless
God loves a tryer
An eye for an eye
