End of 'rainbow' for the house of Robinson

Iris Robinson is a social conservative and an evangelical Christian and a thundering hypocrite. Ulster is no Bible Belt. And you have pulled that evangelicals give more to charity than liberals nonsense out of the air. Try to stop thinking in Right/Left boxes. This is about ANYONE who condemns the speck in their brothers eye and ignores the beam in their own.

`In her rush to condemn Iris Robinson because she is a social conservative and an evangelical Christian,` A recent piece pointed out that Ulster is the most giving part of the UK, giving more per head to charities than the rest of the UK by a significant amount despite being the lowest paid region of the UK. This no doubt is tied to Northern Ireland being a Bible belt as another US piece recently showed that evangelical Christians give considerably more money and time to charities than their liberal counterparts.

olovely....everyone is `condemned` by their fallen sinful nature according to scripture (up to you wether you believe scripture is the word of God or not, but that is what the scripture say)...hence Christ as a Saviour , just because you are an evangelical Christian it doesnt make you sinless any more than anyone else and none of the evangelical churches teach that..the Bible clearly tells people to preach by love thy neighbour and to preach repentence (Christs dealings with the adulteress woman being very apt...he saved her from `the law` which required her to be stoned to death for adultery but he also told her to go her way and sin no more.

Erm, Iris and every Christian fundamentalist I've ever met are sure that they sins they commit aren't nearly as important as those they love to condemn. And Iris Robinson certainly condemned other people. Just google her to see how far she took it.

Erm, everyone is immoral and a sinner..hence the need of Christ as Saviour. ¬All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God` as the Bible says. THe Pope pretty much said the same thing Iris Robinson did but in different language.

Maybe she can check in with Pat Robertson to see if the same "devil" that caused the Haitians so much woe, was also the same one who caused her to drift into personal destruction.

The Robinsons like their fellow hypocrites in the DUP are Christians of convenience.

Not very surprising, all this. All these pompous, self-righteous, Christian fundamentalist extremists always seem to be far worse than anyone they vilify. No doubt Catholics and gays will be to blame for all of this for "leading her into temptation", but no one's fooled. A party that was formed basing it's ideology on religious hatred, is now going to be seen as a party of hypocrites.

After all the times self-professed "Christians" who've attacked others for their "immorality" have been shown to be even more immoral than the targets of their attacks, you would think people would learn to stop trusting these loudmouthed hypocrites in anything dealing with government or religion. But they don't. These vile dramas keep replaying themselves, over and over and over. Isn't that considered a sign of insanity?

VERY well said, Cahir! However, I do wish people would stop referring to the likes of Iris Robinson as "Christian" - there is absolutely nothing Christian about their words or their actions. These people are the 'Christian ayatollahs' who have more in common with their Islam equivalents who send others to commit suicide and murder - they pervert a religion of Love into a weapon of Hate to gratify their own twisted lust for power!

I'm wonedring what comment Oscar Wilde would have made about her had he been alive!!

THIS WOMAN IS EVIL.
