St Pats day is actuallly the celebration of when Patrick brought Catholicism/christianity to Ireland.. thenn they made up some cute story about driving all the snakes out of ireland a metaphore for driving the druids and celts and old religions away im guessing. You didnt think it was just about parades and getting blasted didja?

Christianity not Catholocisim, he was about 800 years early for that.

As for the snakes, it was a simple negotiation, he just said "Would any snakes who wish to remain please raise your right hand"

pretty sure it was Catholocism, there were no protestants yet, and anyone christian belonged to the Curch of Rome which was the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Patrick een met with the Pope(a catholic)

i know religion hates me. i cant even spell it..

seems most religious people hate me too, coz im all wrong and evil and stuff for not believing and dloing what they do..
this is another reason i hate religion. i have a small life, a pathetic life, and i'd rather spend my time making it un pathetic than worshipping some other life or life thing.

oh yeah and all the wars and bombs and hates and all that from the IRA and the stuff related, all coz of religion.

so many wars from such a stupid damn thing..

those silly people in gullivers travels who fight coz of what end they crack their eggs... is sooooo stupid.

i hate it all.

i thought the IRA's hatred stemmed from British imperialism, lord knows i would be pissed if someone conqoured me and threw me off my own land and forced my family into starvation as well.

And if you believe that most people whyo follow some kind of religion sit around and waste thier life worshipping something all then youd likely be included, Aethism is its own religion which is ironic no? you spend just as much time trying to disprove something you cant as they do going to sunday masses and worshipping all day.

thing is, i dont try to disprove, im not an atheist, i simply do not give a shit. i waste my time doing other things. i dont believe they do it all the time, i just cant see the point. i mean, worship 5 times a day and spending all sunday in a building saying prayers and reading a story book to the sky is kinda lame. ok if god walked in my room and stuff and talked to me and showed me se is god i would believe. but at mo, nah. and why should i worship her? look at the shite she's let happen!

what i gathered, (probly wrong) is that it burns down to protestants and catholics and the irish catholics wanting the protestants out and vice versa. thats why N.I. there. they still want Ireland to be independant but some protestants want ireland part of uk. and well. its all wierd.

Why bother? - 03-17-03

It's just a campaign to get another paid holiday on the list for people to get drunk on (thus why the petition is put up by Guiness, who by the way have been advertising the hell out of themselves in preperation for St. Patrick's Day).

If we're gonna do this one, you know what happens next...Corona puts up an online petition to make Cinquo De Mayo a national holiday.

It really won't change anything. People still get drunk and go into work the next day hung over...
