How about Christians who think that God had other plans for other cultures, not just those select few who lived in Israel and the surrounding land and were Judaic Christians? Christians who think that God's Plan was NOT to go around other nations to kill "nonbelievers?" Christians who just think hey snakes are KEWL and just have a bad rep? :-)
You are always cool, I don't think Christians need to bear the cross for all christians mistakes. Your and your darling husband have never treaty me badly, you just love your God and follow the teachings of Jesus. You guys are super cool. LOve EDDY
Uh, I've got to agree with verdant_rhythm on this. I've never heard of any proof, or any theories about this. The story about the snakes was really about actual snakes, and there really are not native snakes in Ireland.
My first impression reading this was, "Wow, someone's a nut job." It sounds like blind flailing to me, and unfortunately the sort of weird rants that have popped up on witchvox every now and again.
I'm sorry, but to me this is equal to a preacher saying that U. S. troops in Iraq are being killed because there are homosexuals in the States. It makes no sense, it's untrue propaganda used to try to rile people up who believe anything they hear because another pagan told them so.
Dear Jason if you would like me to find Papal documents from Pope Clemens I can also find that. I personaly think your post was sort of like homosexuals who are republicans. Tell me if you want some more info Love EDDY

You may also want to look at Book of Armagh, it talks about his pagan conversion.
I am sorry you feel that i am creating a deluge of untrue preachy propoganda, but according to my research the snakes were a metaphor. It talks about how Bishop Patrick forced the Pictish and Celts into Scotland. Since the High King was Pagan, I don't feel that it was a true diplomatic turn over.
Secondly when have I ever jumped on the bandwagon cause some one told me so. Youe being supportive of St Patrick is like saying that Native Americans should celebrate Columbus Day and Thanksgiving because they liked small pox and gun fire.
Additionally, the american traditions for St. Paddy's are insulting to the Irish as a people. To me, all the green beer, leprechaun getup, and emphasis placed on drinking and fighting is like blackface for the Irish. And that's why I give it a miss entirely and celebrate Imbolc the month before.
