somebody better start doing their homework

Yesterday was St Patricks Day, so lots of people were wearing green and getting drunk.
Why?

Cos its a celebration of Irish culture!
Really? how much do you know about their culture?

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, so his feast day is pretty significant if you're a Catholic in Ireland.

So what has a catholic feast day got to do with boozing in NZ?

oh, by the way:

- St Patrick was British, not Irish
- his colour was blue, not green
- the shamrock (clover) was what he used as a symbol of the Holy Trinity

Why do we identify ourselves as a Christian society when we descrate feast days in ignorance... like sending children begging for candy in satanic garb on All Saint's Day (halloween), fucking on St Valentines Day, gorging on chocolate at Easter, etc etc,

Why not just throw your children into the fire as sacrifice to Moloch

Haha, I was just saying the same thing to Dreto and Snek the other night when some drunk arse-hole walked past me in a giant 'green cat in the hat' style hat saying "diddly-dee Diddly-dee"... I was like, "WTF?!"

apparently... "Amen" is a short for Egyptian God Amen-Ra, it was ancient egyptian law to end prayers with his name. The Hebrews picked it up when they were enslaved there and took the tradition back to Canaan, along with the concept of the Ark and various other religious ideas. So everytime you say Amen you're envoking a pagan god!

Same mountain - different paths.

The word Amen is used as a solemn expression to obligate oneself to an oath, as in, earnestly subscribing to what is expressed. Amen is a English and Greek transliteration of the Hebrew word. The Hebrew root word from which it is drawn is (a.man) meaning be faithful; be trustworthy.
