Interesting video, Sunky! However, if the seeds of Christianity had not been planted (by Saint Patrick) then the whole comet idea wouldn’t have converted anyone. Druids wouldn’t have had any other religion to “convert” to....

GOD prepared Haley’s Comet to reveal Who He is. He prepared St. Patrick to fulfill His purpose to evangelize Ireland.

ROMANS 8:28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

PSALM 19

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4
Yet their voice[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

headline: "Did Halley's Comet Convert the Irish to Christianity?"

You know... early morning... eyes not quite adjusted...

I first read that headline to say: "Did Hillary's Comment Convert the Irish to Christianity?"

To which the only possible answer is: possibly, but it must certainly have driven them toward strong drink!

;-)
