Some of them are: St. Eustace (general in Emperor Trajan’s army), St. George (dragon slayer who could pray so that God destroys pagan temples and kill its priests by fire rain and earthquakes), St. Christopher (Hercules-type guy who carried child Jesus over a dangerous river), St. Alexius Of Rome (son of a Roman senator), St. Philomena (who was so beautiful and devoted to God that emperor Diocletian killed her for not wanting to marry him), St. Catherine Of Alexandria (another one that was close to the Roman emperor who killed her because he couldn't win a debate with her and then her corpse flew in the sky to Mt. Sinai where there is a church devoted on her landing site), St. Veronica (who wiped Jesus' face and healed Emperor Tiberius with it, and is now practically depicted in every church on the Stations of the Cross, although she isn't even mentioned in the Bible), and hundreds more.Tells us about hierarchy and power structure. Being the middle man is what religion is all about.
So what does that tell us about Christians and Christianity? Does it tell us that Christians love to lie since they made up thousands of people and claimed they were real?
Does it tell us that Christians don't care about reality? Because in spite of the Vatican admitting and removing some of them from the liturgical calendar, Christians persist to see them as inspirational and devote their lives (and churches) to fictional characters.
Does it tell us that Christianity is an impossible set of rules, so Christians needed to invent thousands of fictional Christians who followed Christian credo because real ones are so "bad" at it?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
