When it comes around tomorrow, I'll probably remember it better than I do the day before.

Seriously, I'm assuming you're referring to Orangemen's Day, and not Different Colored Eyes Day or the 196th anniversary of the invasion of Canada by the US at Windsor, Ontario in the War of 1812. Or perhaps you meant a celebration of the anniversary of Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in 1979?

The 12th of July is a big pain whilst Orangism has been the biggest curse on this island.
I do not doubt that there are some genuine Christians in the Orange Order but I believe to be in the order is incompatable with Christianity. It has poisoned the gospel with politics just as the Galatians negated the gosepl by adding observance to the Law. It may have started of a religious society but is now more political. It has blood on its hands and has made evangelism of the RC commnunity very difficult as it has wrapped the reformed faith up in a union flag.
I am deeply offended to see godless people marching behind an open bible claiming to be Christians yet bringing so much shame on the gospel.
