Feb. 25th, 2006 04:49 pmI was surfing around (because it's more interesting than writing exercises on the subjunctive) and found the 'Godchecker' website, which tries to provide disrespectful information on the gods of all pantheons (I have to admit they got me on their side by citing Asterix as a source for the Celtic period).
Turns out they also have a page on saints: http://www.godchecker.com/saints/index.php Now, I know I shouldn't take this sort of thing too seriously, and actually some of the content is amusing (the page on Bede, for instance, though I have to say I don't remember the racy autobiographical bits of the Ecclesiastical History - and they don't point put that Bede popularised the method of dating years we know use (AD, or CE, if you prefer, though I think 'Common Era' is in some ways more culturally imperialist). But all the same, the complete misinformation of the 'why saints just annoyed me.
( Cut for some theological ranting )
