[1] In addition to many mistakes about Church history, these authors make many mistakes about Celtic Druid history. Did you know that there is no evidence of actual, ritual human sacrifice among Celtic Druids except in the writings of their political enemies? The Romans, who did sacrifice humans, made this accusation. When St. Patrick condemned real Celtic religious practices, however, human sacrifice was never mentioned. See pages 143-156 in The Druids by Peter Ellis (Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1994).
