St. Flint, Patron Saint of not spending money.

The Holy Apostolic Church Of Rome has a vigorous process of elevating individuals to sainthood, based on a rigorous programme of a mind-shattering capacity to believe the most insane bullshit imaginable.

When anyone talks about titles or ranks in military, jobs, political party or religion, the followers of any of those things historically will protect that which they are familiar with. Humans are no different than any other social species, even bees. You have the queen, and drones and workers and all of them do the bidding of the group. 

So when people single out Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews and even Hindus. You are still talking about evolutionary social structures.

Uh-huh.

The main source of information about Saint Columba's life is the Vita Columbae (i.e. "Life of Columba"), a hagiography written in the style of "saint's lives" narratives that had become widespread throughout medieval Europe. Compiled and drafted by scribes and clergymen, these accounts were written in Latin and served as written collections of the deeds and miracles attributed to the saint, both during his or her life or after death. The canonization of a saint, especially one who had lived on the fringes of the medieval Christian world like Saint Columba, required a well-written hagiography to be submitted to Rome, but popular belief and local cults of sainthood often led to the veneration of these men and women without official approval from the Catholic Church.

Writing a century after the death of Saint Columba, the author Adomnán (also known as Eunan), served as the ninth Abbot of Iona until his death in 704 A.D

Check out what xtian scholar Candida Moss has to say about this hagiography horseshit.  Also note, his biography was not written until a century after his supposed death.  Hey!  Just like fucking jesus!!!  And fucking mohammed!!!!

Funny how that keeps happening.

A practice that continues till this very day...

So, imagine St. Columba is alive today, what would happen first:


He'd schism from the Catholics since the intervening centuries of Catholic theological evolution would be too much for him to process


- OR -


He'd be excommunicated for having all kinds of wacky ideas about Catholicism is supposed to work.

The first biography of Washington appeared in 1800....a year after his death.  The earliest biography of Lincoln was written while he was still alive during the 1860 campaign.

My point is that you should try not to be a dumbass all your life and face the fact that your fucking bible is fucking bullshit.
