The persecution of the Covenanters was as much about Charles "Where's Ma Head" Stuart's desire to have uniformity in his kingdoms as it was to do with matters spiritual. And he was Scottish BTW ...

On a lighter note, our men's ministry bade farewell to Steve Martin (not that one!) the head of the men's ministry who is heading Oop North to join Carl and the other lat CVM. Photo to follow....

If he wanted uniformity he should have shot the English.

Yes and sort of. His wife was Catholic and he certainly wanted more Catholic-type ritual and liturgy in the CofE. But what got the Covenanters up and running was his attempt to turn the Church of Scotland into the Church of England by imposing the CofE's liturgy on the former. Instead, the Covenanters after the First Civil War managed to get Parliament to in effect turn the Church of England into the Church of Scotland by making the former Presbyterian via the Westminster Confession. The Episcopalian party on both sides of the Anglo-Scots border regained the ascendancy in the Restoration of Charles II and wreaked their revenge in the Killing Time from then until the 1690s, with up to 18,000 Scots being murdered, judicially or otherwise; however, much of this violence was Scot on Scot rather than Anglo-Scottish in nature and was complicated in nature by some of the extreme Covenanters renouncing allegiance to Charles II and thus committing treason (in the eyes of the government), so there was a political as well as a religious element.

Here is what Id like to do.....get some really testosterone filled manly men & take a trip to North Korea & spank that little monkey on Broadcast TV --Worldwide. Put him in stocks, strip him of his shorts....and give him 30 whacks with a green switch. What a fun time we would have.

Then after he cries his fat pudgy eyes out, we'd make him apologize to the world, particularly Austin Texas. :thumbs:

Who said, >>A ten year old running a lemonade stand has a better grip on the economy than anyone else in government! <<

He should get a better grip on his own language! Or is the >ten year old< one among anyone else in government?

I have to wonder Gerhard, because your a South African if your comments are not racially charged. You want to address that?

How did you get anything race related out of what he said? He's right, our president is the biggest coward we have had in office. Heck, Hillary had to even make the push on OBL ordeal.

He understands my question. I do agree however that BO will never do anything.
