RE: Of Snakes and Saints: Patrick's Legacy
That's a classic case of what happens when the religion and politics mix and that the account of historical events may not necessarily be correct. It was unfortunate that the christianity, which was one of the most beautiful religions, got heavily politicised and many unusual things happened.
I question whether there is any such thing as an "accurate" account of historical events. We always seem to bring our own biases and exaggerations into it! Yes, it really is a shame that the core messages of Christianity were twisted so badly. 😕 Jesus would never have advocated the shocking violence that has been committed in his name – I'm sure of that.
