Saint Patrick & the times he lived in -- How he "...found Ireland all heathen and left it all Christian!" - American Minute with Bill Federer

In 220 AD, the Later Eastern Han Dynasty extended sections of the Great Wall of China along the Mongolian border.
This made it harder for the Huns to attack into China, so they turned westward, attacking and displacing tribes throughout

These tribes migrated further west, overrunning the western borders of the Roman Empire:
Visigoths,
Ostrogoths,
Franks,
Anglos,
Saxons,
Alemanni,
Thuringians,
Rugians,
Jutes,
Picts,
Burgundians,
Lombards,
Alans, and
Vandals.

Rome had to withdraw its Legions from other areas of the Empire, such as Britain, in order to place them along the Roman border.
This left Britain, which had been a Roman territory since the time of Julius Caesar, unprotected.

Marauding bands and lawless mobs raided Britain's unprotected Roman settlements and carried away thousands to sell into slavery in Ireland.

Ireland was ruled by the bloodthirsty, superstitious pagan Druids.
Thomas Cahill wrote in How the Irish Saved Civilization (Random House, 1995):
"Romans, in their first encounters with these exposed, insane warriors, were shocked and frightened ... They were howling and, it seemed, possessed by demons, so outrageous was their strength ... featuring all the terrors of hell itself."
The Druids, from whom Halloween originated, believed that the trees and hills were inhabited by good and evil spirits which constantly needed to be appeased.

Cahill continued:
"(Druids) sacrificed prisoners of war to the war gods and newborns to the harvest gods.
Believing that the human head was the seat of the soul, they displayed proudly the

He failed to get rid of all the snakes, because some are still in office.

When trying to track my family line I came across a poster who said her family had been part of a study looking at mental illness genetics in the Irish. Some seem to think related to the Famine but might really go farther back

No, he got rid of the snakes in Ireland, and they came to America: the Kennedy’s, particularly Ted, come to mind.

Mental illness? You mean, like Liberalism?

The snakes dressed up as leprechauns and lived off lucky charms..the pagans now run the church.

Et intervention seems likely..

The druids knew more than the catholics about God

That’s an ugly thing to say about people who proclaim the Trinity and the Deity of Christ, not to mention the doctrine of salvation by grace alone (cf Augustine of Hippo). Paul says that nobody can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit, but you obviously know better.

I do, any righteousness is good, and although many proclaim Christ, many also deceive the world on His true teachings, the Jewish path, which you scrubbed from your faith..

Catholics all knowing, nope not for a second..mass murderers all over the world that don’t buy the brain washing, yep..thats not Jesus way..

You know Jesus isn’t Catholic, he’s Jewish, so is Mary and all the disciples.

You tell me..

May God give you...
“For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.”

- Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

The conservative Catholics on this site agree with you on 95% of political issues yet here you are, saying the savage Druids are closer to God than Catholics. Are you that stupid or just a jerk?

If you are interested in mental illness then look at the Dutch-Germanic royality from the 1400-1700 along the The Netherlands/German boarder. My grandmother was a direct family descendent from the founder of New Amsterdam, James Van Dursen, head of the East Indies company. He ceeded but continued to administer witht he British in 1762 all the Americas. All the women in my family are crazy... having the opportunity to live in The Netherlands and then Belgium for nearly five years, I got to know the crazy Dutch (minds) and you can see the mental illnesses which are mostly confined to the women in the strains my fore-Mothers have had.

My dad’s side of the family were Logan’s ran out of Scottland to Ireland and forced to change their names. The history of the Logans were the Standard Bearers for King Robert Bruce. The crazy old man in Brave Heart who put the first king on the throne in Scottland was depicted as partially blind and crazy, but the truth is that this guy actually carried Bruce’ heart to Jerusalem and was killed by the Moores.

Between the Greek and Roman democracies and city states devolved the Nation-states in the Western World. Today trying to erase a civilization such as the Western World is challenging for the NWO because they themselves believe money is power - but power has many faces and to detach oneselve from his own is to leave one’s ass hanging out for the plucking. The Irish know this too well.

It’s interesting to see how it affects one sex. Of course part of that in the past has been that it was thought women were mentally ill in general and subjected to all kinds of tortures to try to fix it. Actual torture devices like cages on their head

If you ran your genes through analysis you might find the known mental illness genes. They can pop up with the 23and me test that you then use Promthease to analyze

Neither, prefer walking with God , over
Acting like it, though I fall as all do..

Go ahead play the wisdom in numbers, do you think God buys it..pleeeease, the world today is on fire due to the lack of knowledge as to.what to do..why, because it’s too hard to follow him for the faithless..and as Paul would say wretched soul am I..wasn’t just a pose..Truth..

So ban me, crucify me, burn the earth in the name of God, he sees you do not understand he lives in all, even the lowly foolish druids knew that..the world was too busy obtaining power than to apply the commandments to their walk, because the Jewish King had been scrubbed out..
But God uses all for His good, but he tells me yall should knock that fake sign you slapped up on Christ cross and realize there is only one life now, no mysterium wafer needed..can’t hate your brother and love God, well the victory of said death cults is without merit because all disobeyed the commandments in their walk..
Is that lucid enough for you, or maybe a daddy’s daddy can convince you studying what they say is God’s path..
God lives today in all, don’t worship the tree, but don’t treat it as if yourdominion over it is to kill it, it’s part of the story .could man kill each other in reason as stated here and love Truth?
God has dominion over us, why does man’s dominion aspects not reflect what God does?
Example, does God eat us?
Why do we kill what we have dominion over, vision is skewed into darkness..
In Eden all green plants which yield seed are meat for mankind to eat..no death there..

So I do not hate Christians, of any walk.or any other faiths but respect them , hell no, dummer than dirt before the infinite Lord..glad they may learn to wipe their butts but that’s where man is, barely aware it just craps itself..still doesn’t see the crap is what has been done as well..

Eden is where we return with the Jewish King, The Father will again say what was said before, anyone who did not learn will eat of the tree again, never learning to hear ..those who do not teach the commandments are least in Heaven..

Just sell the Vatican, it’s always been for sale anyway..and start moving the gentile faith to graft in the vine..Jesus wanted the communion ceremony to be added to the passover feast, which is what they were celebrating, didn’t ask for a new religion .but now that you know how will you graft into that vine. Through a living God and His path, or a shell of antisemitic fake truth?..

Palladius was sent to Ireland in 430 by Pope Celestine I. Almost nothing is known of his effort. This why Saint Patrick is commonly viewed as the bringer of Christianity to Ireland.

Another “feel good” mythical biased propaganda story not based on real history. Anyone who would believe that this historical figure could raise over 33 people from the dead, even more than Jesus himself, has been duped by the mythical accounts based on propaganda.
