Hey dufus,

Cyprus has been a Christian island for two millenniums now! It’s the Ottoman Muslims that came here UNINVITED in 1570 to spread their death & destruction, not the other way round!

Not only have they murdered hundreds of thousands of our people over the centuries, but they’ve also desecrated 100s of ancient Christian churches in the last 35 years!

WAKE UP!


2 Millenniums?

Never knew the Persians were Christian :lol:

Why is that relevant/important? :?

Do you foolishly assume by any chance that Cypriots changed religion with every invader? :roll:


First of all get your facts right.

Secondly, I know they did, specially during the Ottoman era, because I know people who used to come from Christian families, in person. Ever heard of the Linobambaki's? A lot of them switched religion like underwear, whichever paid most. :lol:

Third, your definition of "Cypriot" only extends as far as the Greek speaking Christian population, which is just rotten from the start. Meaning you cannot define a place like Cyprus with such a confusing past, with a single religion.

So no, Cyprus was not always Christian.


IT IS BETTER TO BE AN ATEIST ANYWAY :lol:

Totally agreed!

What good did religion do for anyone, anyway, right?

True, atheism is so 90's anyways.

Agnosticism is the new "in", still leaves something for the imagination :lol:

Nope, but nor was the rest of Christianity always Christian. But, Christianity has been around longer than Islam, just as Greek Cypriots have been in Cyprus longer than Turks have been around these parts. What's your point?

You're confusing them with agnostics. Sure, believers can only think in terms of the presence/absence of God, and so view "atheism" within etymological restraints.

The point was a reply to GR's rubbish.

The real question is, what is your point?!

What is this, first come first served? :lol:
