The hate-speech directed toward Pagan/druidic Ireland is christian-generated propaganda used to gloss over and justify the crimes of the christian priests.

It is said that Cromm Cruaich was represented as a stone idol (a head) and that children were sacrificed to him/it. How much of this was a result of Christian propaganda is open to conjecture.

I'm having a hard time finding information on Cromm and while I don't doubt the validity of your information (it sounds perfectly logical and makes perfect sense), being able to cite the source material would be helpful in my own writing endeavors. <br /><br />Thank you, <br /><br />T.
