http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/169787/the_truth_about_st_patrick.html?cat=74 Today people celebrated St. Patrick's day. Even I wore green. But not all people think of him fondly. St. Patrick, according to legend, was said to have driven away all of the snakes from Ireland. However the "snakes" actually refers to the Druids, and there followers. The Druids were priests of the pagan folk religion of Ireland. Supposedly, St. Patrick persecuted all those who would not convert to Roman Catholic Christianity. Like I said in the post about the Baptist pastor who was killed, beliefs can not be destroyed by force. And even now there are still neopagans who practice a renewed faith in the old ways. This is known as Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism.
