Why are Irishmen obsessed with an ethnically Italian dude born on the island of Great Britain?
>>18389943Because he spread to Ireland the religion which, until recently, most of them held to be true and necessary for salvation.

>>18389943In Latin America the pagan gods that the people worship are referred to as The Saints (Los Santos)Before the Catholic church they used to call them by their pagan names, but the Catholic (Universal) church forced them to convert under their Universal Umbrella and allowed them to continue worshipping these gods as long as they call them by the names of saints and worship them in their church.
>>18390667What's that have to do with anything? Ireland isn't in Latin America.
>>18389943Do they actually care about him or did they simply need a day they can take off work and drink green beer?Lol.
>>18389943Popular folk figure. There's no evidence he actually existed, and it's more likely that he's an amalgamation of multiple figures such as Palladius the first recorded Bishop of Ireland. >>18390667The Bible doesn't deny the existence of spirits, gods, and other worldly entities, or as they're simply referred to in Aramaic, Eloheim. Yaweh is the Chief of the Eloheim, all the others are lesser than him. Based on what exorcists such as Father Chad Rippinger have said of deities of the gentiles, I hypothesize that two things happened to the Eloheim of a region once Christian arrived: they were either destroyed or they fully submitted to the authority of Yaweh, with the latter these lesser Eloheim took on new roles as saints in the College.

Yaweh is the Chief of the Eloheim, all the others are lesser than him.Do not learn the way of the nations,And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavensAlthough the nations are terrified by them;3 For the statutes of the peoples are vanityBecause it is wood cut from the forest,The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.4 They make it beautiful with silver and with gold;They strengthen it with nails and with hammersSo that it will not totter.5 Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they,And they cannot speak;They must be carriedBecause they cannot take a step!Do not fear them,For they can do no harm,Nor can they do any good.”6 There is none like You, O Yahweh;You are great, and great is Your name in might.7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?Indeed it is Your due!For among all the wise men of the nationsAnd in all their kingdoms,There is none like You.8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish;They are in a discipline of [a]vanities—it is mere wood!9 Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish,And gold from Uphaz,The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith;Blue and purple are their clothing;They are all the work of wise craftsmen.10 But Yahweh is the true God;He is the living God and the everlasting King.At His wrath the earth quakes,And the nations cannot endure His indignation.11 [b]Thus you shall say to them, “The gods that did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under [c]the heavens.”
>>18390608HES BASICALLY FUCKING GANDALF GUYS!!!!
>>18389943Because, like most chronically cucked dudes, they've learned to kiss the penis of the invaders to not get killed.Seriously, you can watch the annihilation of the soul and fighting spirit in a people as they begin to, quite literally, **worship** the invaders. It's like how Indians worship the Brahmin class, who were originally Iranian invaders from thousands of years ago (cattle ranchers no less, it's where the worship of the cow comes from, Iranians didn't want the shitskins fucking with their cattle).I'm Scotch Irish myself, but even I can acknowledge both the Scots and Irishmen were **fully** subjugated mind, body, and soul.In my opinion, that Catholic faggot can go get fucked. Do you know what they mean when they say St Patrick ran all the snakes out of Ireland? They mean he fully destroyed the druids and their religion. Our native religion. And decimated so thoroughly no one knows a goddamn thing about it except for what the Catholics wrote.
>>18391826>Because, like most chronically cucked dudes, they've learned to kiss the penis of the invaders to not get killedSt Patrick wasn't an invader he was just an individual and a missionary.

And decimated so thoroughly no one knows a goddamn thing about it except for what the Catholics wroteThere was no snakes or any stories from Ireland about snakes. There has never been snakes in Ireland.There was mythological giant serpant like creatures that inhabited certain lakes and river is Ireland called Ollipheist and there's stories about St Patrick driving out the Ollipheist that lived in lough derg and there's stories about other saints driving out particular Ollipheist from places too.
>>18391949The Oilliphéist (Irish: ollphéist, from Irish oll 'great' and péist 'worm, fabulous beast, monster, reptile')[1] is a sea serpent or dragon-like monster in Irish mythology and folklore.[2]These monsters were believed to inhabit many lakes and rivers in Ireland and there are many legends of saints and heroes fighting them.[3] In one story, an Oilliphéist cuts the route of the River Shannon when it hears that Saint Patrick has come to drive out it and its kind.[4][5][6] In a comic addition to the story, the monster swallows a drunken piper named Ó Ruairc (O'Rourke). The piper is either unaware of his predicament or is completely unperturbed and continues to play inside the Oilliphéist's stomach. The monster becomes so annoyed with Ó Ruairc's music that it coughs him up and spits him out.[6][7][8] It is believed by Chris Cairney that this story and one involving Caoránach helped influence and inspire the legend of the Loch Ness Monster.[9]Other stories of the Oilliphéist exist. One has a girl named Sionnan, grand daughter of Manannán mac Lir, angered the Salmon of Knowledge by throwing stones at it. In revenge the fish summons and asks an Oilliphéist to attack the girl which it does and ultimately ends up killing her.In Irish folklore, Caoránach (sometimes Caol) was an Oilliphéist and said to be the mother of demons who was banished by Saint Patrick to Lough Dearg in Donegal, Ulster.
