"Druids still do human sacrifice in Stonehenge?"

I didn't say they still do that today. Of course you can believe what you wish.

"Try puffing that crackrock a little less hard. You might have had a shot at convincing me until you put that little nugget of nonsense in your screed. No one else here is eager to have the U.S. be Northern Ireland, as much as you might wish it, Orangy Von Orangenstein."

I suggest you follow your own advice ... I've never suggested the U.S. become part of northern or southern Ireland. Apparently you are partial to southern Ireland? Ah, more ad homs since you can not post anything substantial.

"Today a growing group of people claiming to be of direct Druid descent, still practice their religion, including human sacrifice. Those in England still perform ceremonies at Stonehenge."

That's right, you didn't say there are Druids today doing human sacrifices at Stonehenge. Not exactly. You just said they were doing human sacrifices. And performing CEREMONIES at Stonehenge.

What was I thinking, twisting your words in such a CRAZY manner? Gosh, I take it all back, it's not the crack rock affecting your mind at all! You must have meant they were doing those human sacrifices in their basements and doing WEDDING ceremonies at Stonehenge. Gee, I'm sorry. [/sarcasm]

And as to me being partial to ANYONE in Northern Ireland, I simply don't have a particular favorite side shooting--I just don't like people who are out to slander Protestantism or Catholicism or Judaism or any other religion, and the Orange shoe fits you. I figure Martin Niemoller said it best in his famous quote about the Nazis, and I'll speak up right now.

That you recognize my post is an ad hom (you probably couldn't spell the rest--it's AD HOMINEM, and that was one right there, jackass--oopsie, there's another!), is miraculous, only because you consider your own post a wealth of logic, when it's essentially a jumble of unfounded claims and b.s. assertions to back up your main point, that Halloween is only because of Catholicism, and your intended implication that because this is so, Catholicism is Satanic. To have logical argument, you have to have evidence AND an opinion--and when your comments are grade A, 99 and 44/100% pure, unsubstantiated opinion, I have no difficulty in calling you what you are, a crackhead Orange who would go after a Catholic given any opportunity, even one as silly as this one. Yes, it's an 'ad hom,' in response to your umpteen paragraph litany of them. But it's a better 'ad hom,' in that I can point to your screed and use that as evidence for my assertions, as opposed to you pointing at imagined premises every bit as fantastic as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and evidence that doesn't point in the direction you want and twisting it all together to come up with 'Halloween is Catholic Satanism!' Oh, crap, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny--that's another chance for you to jump on the anti-Papist Satanic holiday bandwagon...

So, to prepare the field for the inevitable comments to come, I can't help but say it again: you're an obvious anti-Catholic, and if you were posting this stuff about Jewish people or Baptists or some other Protestant group, you'd have been blocked already. Keep your little Balkanization attempts to yourself. Can't you just take advantage of private property rights, find others like yourself and get your own little ghetto, inbreed with your friends and not bother the rest of us? It sure would make it nice for the rest of us peaceable folks, who don't need you pointing fingers and stirring up trouble just so you can get your nice sheet and hood out of the dry cleaner wrapping.
