But after watching an irish randition, it doesn't sound irish either, so I guess the Ulster dialect explains that... now it actually does sound a bit more scottish
@Grenademan1 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

@yrhyngrwyd idk i just know when I was in Ireland there were people speaking Gaelic. And we called it Irish or Gaelic depending on the day. Is this considered scottish gaelic?
@yrhyngrwyd Ahh ok. Well i got to this video from looking up Irish language so I think that is where the confusion occurs. Do you speak Scottish Gaelic?
@thunderinthevalley They're quite similar so it's easy to see how you got confused. In the video description it says he's speaking Scottish Gaelic. And no, I can't speak Scottish Gaelic... well not fluently or like a native speaker. :)
@Merryrobin What a load of bollocks. Iirc the Scots are still here, though Gaelic is long since dead. Though tbh we switched to Scots a long while back.
@TheXand19 You got some kind of scizoid problem going on over there.. "Scots still there but you switched to Scots long times ago", the hell you on about! what the f... you switchin' to next.. Croc'o sh*t..your scribblin' in English darn it, rest you folks over there hold the line, let this birdbrain loose no telling what darn lingo he'll pull on you next.
@scottinham Eh? We Scots (the people) switched from Gaelic to Scots (the language) without losing our cultural identity, and then when we switched to English as our primary language we retained our cultural identity yet again. Language doesn't make a people or culture.
The last time I heard this was at Mass in Boolteens village (Co. Kerry) about 20 years ago. The children sang it from the choir loft with an old American pump organ. God bless Ireland.
Two errors: the "good night" in english (bleargh!) and the catholic prayer. Celtic people must throw away the english crap and the christian religion and get back to their ancient languages and gods. Both, christianism and english domination, were the damnation of Celts and served only to slave them. Let' be free, Celts!
This is brilliant! Really like the Irish Gaelic version... The two languages are so close. :) I'm a teacher and love to see young kids use their native languages, so good on him :)
We learn Irish in school, but the number of fluent speakers dwindled through the years. But, there is a renewed interest in Irish among my generation. "Internationalism" and "multiculturalism" greatly hurt both Irish and Scottish Gaelic, but as you can see they're coming back . I realized the value of it and now speak Irish near fluently with the goal of speaking it natively in the years to come. We Irish and Scots will eternally have that bond of both language and culture.
I think that "multi-culti" is a code-wort of our politicians to destroy Europe. Did you know that in Brussels, the EU-Capital, the most frequent name among new-borns is "MOHAMMED"? In many English cities likewise. Paris already seems like an African city, while in England people speak of "Londonistan".
I dont mind foreigners, but A) many of of them dont respect their hosts B) commit crimes, C) we already have too many immigrants and yet D) the mass-immigration continues.
@IamDaReAlSeaN I think its good if the Irish start speaking their own language again. Its your heritage and your roots. But i think the best solution for Ireland would be to use both langauges. If i was Irish, i would make sure my kids speak both language fluently. Because Irish will always be a language spoken by not so many people, while English is spoken all over the world.
In Luxemburg, for example, people use 3 languages: Luxemburgish (a German dialcect), Standard German, and French.
@Elberiver11 Luxembourgish isn't a German dialect. Rather, it's a distinct language (unintelligible). This is semantics though as I believe that some linguists now state that a dialect doesn't have to be so different. Even so, it has evolved separately from German.
@enzedbrit Yes, Luxemburgish is a 100 percent German dialect, it is spoken in Germany and parts of Belgium (Arlon/Arlen) , too. Sorry but i am German so i should know.
If you cross the border to Germany, people speak the same, e.g. in the district of Bitburg-Prüm. Luxemburgish is a FRANKISH dialect just like e.g. Cologne, Frankfurt or the neigbouring German state of Saarland. I am from Frankfurt that is why Luxemburgish is not to hard to understand for me.
@enzedbrit The Luxemburgers only make such a big cult of their "language" in order to distance themselves from the bad "nazi" Germans. I think this is silly, we live in 2011 and should move on.
The Swiss are the same. But its not Luxemburgish but actually Swiss German which can be absolutely incomprehensible for most Germans, unless they are from the South of Germany were people speak similar. For this reason, the Swiss have subtitles on TV in Standard German when they speak Swiss German.
@enzedbrit It may not be appropriate to call it a German dialect but it's wrong to say its unintelligible because it's a Mosel Franconian dialect which includes Eifel German. I was was stationed in the Eifel & learned their dialect of German & I could understand 99% of what I heard in Luxemburgish. Often when my friends spoke Luxemburgish I'd just use Eifel German with them & it was ok. Germany itself is a combination of people who spoke hundreds of mutually intelligible languages/dialects.
@IamDaReAlSeaN Luxemburg: The everyday language is LUXEMBURGISH (which is spoken in the neighbouring parts of Germany, too), people use it for anything private, but even the Duke of Luxemburg speaks it in his speeches. FRENCH is the language of the courts and the law. GERMAN is the language of the Media, Press, Television. The Luxemburgers seem to live quite well with that mix.
So maybe a mix would be good for Ireland, too? I would raise my kids in both Irish and English, if i was Irish.
I know I will be raising my children with Irish and English, that's for certain. I speak Irish as a second language, I'm still learning but all of the conversations I have with my mother at home are through Irish. Bad attitudes and laziness have contributed to the decline of the Celtic languages, we can no longer blame invasion. I will make my best effort to keep my country's native language alive, and I plan to learn Gaelic and Manx once I finish my degree in Spanish and German.
@IamDaReAlSeaN Is Irish and Scottish Gaelic close enough so that Irish and Scottish speakers can understand each other? And what about Welsh? As far as i know, they are all keltic.
I actually llearned a bit of Irish: Dia duit! Conas ta tu?
For the most part yes, but of course there are differences, it's like the difference between Afrikaans and Dutch. Gaeilge, Gáidhlig and Gaelgagh (Irish, Scottish and Manx) are Goidelic Celtic languages, but Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernowek) and Breton (Breizh) are Brythonic Celtic Languages. Long story short, the Goidelic Celtic languages have some similarity with the Brythonic ones, but personally I can't understand much if any Welsh :) Your Irish needs work, but good on you :)
I'd say them and the Basques are the best models to work off in terms of revitalizing our languages. It's amazing and tragic how the languages with the richest cultures and heritages are the most neglected.
oh my goodness, this is beautiful. i've been trying to learn scottish gaelic. it's such a lovely language!!! i've always wanted to hear it in a child's voice and this is beyond precious! =) ::heart melts::
and...from a quick scan of what the conversation is about... you're basically saying just believe what you want.. Let's be honest.. either you follow the whole bible or non of it.
@pfrank012 It really depends on your interpretation of the Bible. Most forget that the Bible, like ever other text, was written in the context of the time.
Do you even kow what homosexualism is about? Its not about having sex, its about who you love.
Some gay people dont even like anal sex, and what about the lesbians? do they spread new diseases?
This disease is from apes, it didnt just magically pop out because homosexuals had sex.
Everyone who think this is a homosexual disease was brainwashed by the conservatists who clearly just wanted another argument against homosexuality. A lot of heterosexuals carry the disease aswell.
Lies? ITS IN THE BIBLE, thats what they regard as the ultimate truth.
When did I pick on a child? Your reading comprehension seems to be a little on the down side.
You could ask that child anything from christianity and he would not be able to cite it right, because he was most likely told by his parents that it was real. that doesnt mean he ACTUALLY believes it.
I went to church when i wa sa child, did that mean I was a christian? No I never was, never believed in it.
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
You can't twist and turn this anymore or pick out the things you don't like about the bible and still call you a christian.
I can't respect it as this is the corruption of a child.
Incredible how on YouTube, something as innocent, cute and adorable as a child saying the Lord's Prayer can attract an impressive amount of negative comments, arguments, bullies and all kinds of crap from atheist fanatics. Y'all wanna fight religious fanaticism and extreme religious views?!Then, be a man - quit picking on little Christian kids praying and go after extremist Muslims that wanna blow themselves up and kill the innocent in the name of God - they're all over YouTube! Otherwise, STFU!
@Rozzychan I'm merely remarking on the irony that you defend the Golden Rule as a religious invention, yet when you pin it down, you would do good not for the sake of doing good but for the sake of not being punished. I'm not saying that it is immidiately a bad thing, it's better than doing evil anyways. But that mindset more or less implies that you WOULD do evil, as long as no one would be watching
@Rozzychan Here... According to nationmaster(.)com/graph/cri_mur_percap-crime-murders-per-capita , highly religious USA has more murders per capita than highly secular Norway. Sorry for the messed up link, just remove the brackets from the first dot.
@Rozzychan Part 2: Thus, if what you say was true, humans would've wiped themselves out long ago. Also, I find it quite sad, the idea of doing good only to escape burning in hell (which, let's be honest, is something that has been pushed way more than the golden rule by religion), than for the sake of doing good.
@Rozzychan Well, if moral does in fact derive from religion, then so does immorality. Just look at the fascist god of the old testament. I don't believe in neither. Yes, everything has a beginning, moral begins in common sense, which was around long before Judaism. Moral is a part of our intellect. Our intellect is what made humans able to survive. Humans (homo sapiens) have been around for tens of thousands of years, long before any records of Judaism.
@Rozzychan People though that the world was going to end during the black plague. Bad things happening is nothing new. And while were at it, religious people wanted the jews blamed for said plague, resulting in even more suffering. Atheists didn't do that. So what if getting pregnant before marriage? As long as you are mature (which does not equal being married). You defend morals of the bible then? Let's bring back stoning, for working on the sabbath, for instance.
@Rozzychan Moral doesn't derive from religion because somehow people are born knowing they shouldn't kill their mothers (for instance). It's common sense (and common sense most definitely does NOT derive from religion). Stop assuming religion made these things up, just because religious scriptures happen to be historically early in describing them. Take the golden rule for instance, it comes from all over the world, not just Judeo-Christain faith.
@Rozzychan Islamists, Westboro Baptist Church, Crusades, the Inquisition, Scientology, David Koresh, Knutby murders, even the Bible... I'm not saying that all religious people are bad, but calling out secularism for poor moral values? Please.

What a great thing to teach your child a prayer in the original tongue of the family. Beautiful child, beautiful prayer and beautiful language.
To the jackass that made this into a atheist vs religious debate. No one cares what you think. The evangelical atheists are more annoying than the religious people who proselytize door to door on Saturday morning.
@WubZers Hi! Gaelic isn't the scottish language, Gaelic is the root of scottish,irish and welsh, like slavic is the root of polish and russian etc. Gaelge is the irish language in irish.
@WubZers Would it be like comparing English English (haha) vs Canadian English, where the main diferences are accent and local colloquialisms or is it more like comparing the Latin languages, where there's an obvious huge difference but also clear similarities?
@FaderSemen Thats not for you to Judge, Children learn everything from adults including their religion, that applys to all faiths and doctrines, The child comes from a christian family so he will adopt the christian values so stop being an idiot.
@FaderSemen Bull, if nobody teaches them then how do they learn ? It's part of the Christian faith, Jesus said'' Spread the good news'' Everything you know was passed on to you whether by book or by word. We know about history because historians left us records, cave paintings taught us about their societies and way of life, Children learn about Christianity from books, family and the Bible, If you can't except that then your living in ignorance. It's reasonable for children to learn.
@STHFGDBY It's reasonable for children to learn truth, not lies. Before you start ranting, I'm not saying that you're teaching them something you know is false, but simply something that holds so little ground and is backed up by so little evidence that you might as well be teaching them about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
@FaderSemen The rant is coming from you not me seeing you agree that I haven't started yet. , You're typical of an Atheist who claims to not believe in our God yet here you are yet again giving your penny's worth to Christain theme videos. I believe in God therefore I will teach my children the same values that were passed down to me by my parents and I will do it with passion, If you're a non believer then so be it, I could care less. Children will make up there own minds when older.
@STHFGDBY Actually, to begin with I watched it because I wanted to hear Gaelic. So what if I comment on religion? Isn't that what the commentary page is for? Also, if children will make up their own minds when older (which they most likely won't, a superior majority of the religious people I know had a religious upbringing - how's that for making up their own minds?), why not just teach them good moral values, no religion involved, and if they choose to believe later on, so be it?
@FaderSemen Listen to yourself will you, If children do not make up their minds that's because they believe in the truth, they believe in God, Is it your view that they shouldn't because they became adults ? There are hundreds of Thousands of people in the World past and present who were once Christian and now are not ,and also the reverse. Also your opinion on moral values is rubbish seeing that most parents teach their children values anyway, So what if they are Christian or not.
@STHFGDBY Because if they teach them about God, they teach them about something that holds as much truth and reason as the Flying Spaghetti Monster! "The truth"?? Prove to me that God exists, please.
@STHFGDBY Yes, it is. If you claim something, it IS up to YOU to prove it. If I were to claim that there's an invisible rabbit controlling our lives, I would have to prove it to you, right? Or maybe you want to go find out for yourself?
@STHFGDBY And spare us all the Freudian analysis and anything having to do with "the Flying Spaghetti Monster" (really? Can't you come up with anything original?) If you come to a place where people who believe in God predominate, it's common courtesy to mind your manners. Be respectful of the beliefs of others. You know, the Golden Rule? Present your case rationally (ha ha), and let others make their own choices. You'll come off better for it.
@amkaen Ok, then let's be more original. Let's say I claim the world was created, and is controlled by, a giant, cosmic brain. This brain created us for the good fun. This brain is indifferent towards moral values. I'm just making it clear that the Brain isn't another avatar of Yahweh/ Allah etc. Now, why should you believe that this Brain exists? Because it says so here, in this book. Wait, shouldn't I provide some sort of evidence? Apparently not, apparently a book is enough.
@amkaen Hey, I have friends who are christian, I respect them for that. Even though I find their worldview filled with inconsistencies, it wouldn't work ranting about it all the time. But sometimes you have to speak out against such faults.
If you want to be reasonable, please provide me with reasonable evidence that God exists.
@FaderSemen You're getting WAY too much mileage out of this. Sure, believe what you want, just don't be an ass when you do so. And if that means you ignore the evidence of intent and design in creation, and focus only on what you can control and easily pin down and explain empirically, then buddy, have at it. Like I inferred earlier, though, it's rude of you to cast dispersions on those of us who are not so limited to what YOU find acceptable.
@FaderSemen When you utilize a reductionist mindset, as science by its nature must, you ignore that one area which is truly and solely human, the realm of the spiritual. Without this realm, there is no opportunity for sacrifice, for self-transcendence, for reflection and evaluation of what may be the greater good. Thus, we have germ warfare, genetic engineering, and atomic bombs. It is intelligence without wisdom. That may be fine for you, but I find it tragically lacking.
@STHFGDBY Sad to hear. Also sad that you chose to stoop to vulgarities. Don't worry, though. I'll take my pearls out of the sty, and not bother you any more.
@chaosbringer127 Mentally or emotionally? Quite possibly the former. In the latter, no. Only tired, I suppose, of people hiding behind the computer, saying things in anonymity that they would think better of face to face. Tired of the new, trendy line of thought that deigns to mock people for believing in Someone Who can't be discerned empirically, and tired of always feeling compelled to rush to the defense of other believers. So yes, I suppose I am. Thank you for asking, though. God bless.
@chaosbringer127 I was only responding generally, not with you or anyone else in particular in mind. Glad to hear that you're one of the family, though. Again, God bless.
@FaderSemen Wow, dude! You're really not seeing the glaring inconsistency in your arguments? You think indoctrination happens only when the direction is toward belief in a deity of some sort, right? Do you recall saying “My parents…didn't say that much at all about God. And lo and behold, I didn't come to believe.” Your words, Jack, not mine. Is the natural default of the rational mind toward unbelief? Then where did the capacity for belief originate?
@amkaen Yes, it usually happens in that direction. Yes, the RATIONAL default is unbeliever. The capacity for belief originates in the will to explain everything. It just happened to originate before we had scientific means of explaining them. There is also an irrational default, the child's tendency to try to give meaning to everything (I.E, it's a good thing it snows, so that flowers can have a warm blanket. Typical child logics).
Now I want to watch The Lochness Monster cause he sounds so much like the little girl, "Good Night"

I will make my best effort to keep my country's native language alive, and I plan to learn Gaelic and Manx once I finish my degree in Spanish and German.

@IamDaReAlSeaN Is Irish and Scottish Gaelic close enough so that Irish and Scottish speakers can understand each other? And what about Welsh? As far as i know, they are all keltic.

For the most part yes, but of course there are differences, it's like the difference between Afrikaans and Dutch. Gaeilge, Gáidhlig and Gaelgagh (Irish, Scottish and Manx) are Goidelic Celtic languages, but Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernowek) and Breton (Breizh) are Brythonic Celtic Languages. Long story short, the Goidelic Celtic languages have some similarity with the Brythonic ones, but personally I can't understand much if any Welsh :) Your Irish needs work, but good on you :)

I'd say them and the Basques are the best models to work off in terms of revitalizing our languages. It's amazing and tragic how the languages with the richest cultures and heritages are the most neglected.

Do you even kow what homosexualism is about? Its not about having sex, its about who you love.
Some gay people dont even like anal sex, and what about the lesbians? do they spread new diseases?
This disease is from apes, it didnt just magically pop out because homosexuals had sex.
Everyone who think this is a homosexual disease was brainwashed by the conservatists who clearly just wanted another argument against homosexuality. A lot of heterosexuals carry the disease aswell.

Lies? ITS IN THE BIBLE, thats what they regard as the ultimate truth.
When did I pick on a child? Your reading comprehension seems to be a little on the down side.
You could ask that child anything from christianity and he would not be able to cite it right, because he was most likely told by his parents that it was real. that doesnt mean he ACTUALLY believes it.
I went to church when i wa sa child, did that mean I was a christian? No I never was, never believed in it.

@Rozzychan Part 2: Thus, if what you say was true, humans would've wiped themselves out long ago. Also, I find it quite sad, the idea of doing good only to escape burning in hell (which, let's be honest, is something that has been pushed way more than the golden rule by religion), than for the sake of doing good.

@Rozzychan Well, if moral does in fact derive from religion, then so does immorality. Just look at the fascist god of the old testament. I don't believe in neither. Yes, everything has a beginning, moral begins in common sense, which was around long before Judaism. Moral is a part of our intellect. Our intellect is what made humans able to survive. Humans (homo sapiens) have been around for tens of thousands of years, long before any records of Judaism.

@Rozzychan People though that the world was going to end during the black plague. Bad things happening is nothing new. And while were at it, religious people wanted the jews blamed for said plague, resulting in even more suffering. Atheists didn't do that. So what if getting pregnant before marriage? As long as you are mature (which does not equal being married). You defend morals of the bible then? Let's bring back stoning, for working on the sabbath, for instance.
FaderSemen 9 months ago

@Rozzychan Moral doesn't derive from religion because somehow people are born knowing they shouldn't kill their mothers (for instance). It's common sense (and common sense most definitely does NOT derive from religion). Stop assuming religion made these things up, just because religious scriptures happen to be historically early in describing them. Take the golden rule for instance, it comes from all over the world, not just Judeo-Christain faith.

@FaderSemen Bull, if nobody teaches them then how do they learn ? It's part of the Christian faith, Jesus said'' Spread the good news'' Everything you know was passed on to you whether by book or by word. We know about history because historians left us records, cave paintings taught us about their societies and way of life, Children learn about Christianity from books, family and the Bible, If you can't except that then your living in ignorance. It's reasonable for children to learn.
STHFGDBY 9 months ago
@STHFGDBY It's reasonable for children to learn truth, not lies. Before you start ranting, I'm not saying that you're teaching them something you know is false, but simply something that holds so little ground and is backed up by so little evidence that you might as well be teaching them about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Children will make up there own minds when older.

@STHFGDBY Actually, to begin with I watched it because I wanted to hear Gaelic. So what if I comment on religion? Isn't that what the commentary page is for? Also, if children will make up their own minds when older (which they most likely won't, a superior majority of the religious people I know had a religious upbringing - how's that for making up their own minds?), why not just teach them good moral values, no religion involved, and if they choose to believe later on, so be it?
FaderSemen 9 months ago
@FaderSemen Listen to yourself will you, If children do not make up their minds that's because they believe in the truth, they believe in God, Is it your view that they shouldn't because they became adults ? There are hundreds of Thousands of people in the World past and present who were once Christian and now are not ,and also the reverse. Also your opinion on moral values is rubbish seeing that most parents teach their children values anyway, So what if they are Christian or not.

@FaderSemen You're getting WAY too much mileage out of this. Sure, believe what you want, just don't be an ass when you do so. And if that means you ignore the evidence of intent and design in creation, and focus only on what you can control and easily pin down and explain empirically, then buddy, have at it. Like I inferred earlier, though, it's rude of you to cast dispersions on those of us who are not so limited to what YOU find acceptable.

@amkaen What evidence?
FaderSemen 9 months ago
@FaderSemen When you utilize a reductionist mindset, as science by its nature must, you ignore that one area which is truly and solely human, the realm of the spiritual. Without this realm, there is no opportunity for sacrifice, for self-transcendence, for reflection and evaluation of what may be the greater good. Thus, we have germ warfare, genetic engineering, and atomic bombs. It is intelligence without wisdom. That may be fine for you, but I find it tragically lacking.

@FaderSemen Wow, dude! You're really not seeing the glaring inconsistency in your arguments? You think indoctrination happens only when the direction is toward belief in a deity of some sort, right? Do you recall saying “My parents…didn't say that much at all about God. And lo and behold, I didn't come to believe.” Your words, Jack, not mine. Is the natural default of the rational mind toward unbelief? Then where did the capacity for belief originate?
amkaen 9 months ago
@amkaen Yes, it usually happens in that direction. Yes, the RATIONAL default is unbeliever. The capacity for belief originates in the will to explain everything. It just happened to originate before we had scientific means of explaining them. There is also an irrational default, the child's tendency to try to give meaning to everything (I.E, it's a good thing it snows, so that flowers can have a warm blanket. Typical child logics).
