Saint Patrick
The dates of Patrick's life cannot be fixed with certainty, but there is general agreement that he was active as a missionary in Ireland during the fifth century. A recent biography[5] on Patrick shows a late fourth-century date for the saint is not impossible.[6] According to tradition dating from the early Middle Ages, Patrick was the first bishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, and is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland, converting a pagan society in the process. He has been generally so regarded ever since, despite evidence of some earlier Christian presence

From long ago - repost
The below short story is a very good example of what can be done to misrepresent the facts. The facts are stated but it is told to degrade the subject.
.........................................
A man is walking through the zoo when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to devour her right in front the little girl's screaming parents.
The man runs to the cage, hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain, the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the man returns her to her terrified parents.
A reporter has seen the whole scene and says to the rescuer: 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.'
'Why, it was nothing,' said the man. 'Really, the lion was behind bars and I knew God would protect me just as He did Daniel in the lions den long, long ago. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt was right.'
'I noticed a bible in your pocket, are you a Republican,' asked the journalist.
'Yes, and I'm a Christian on my way to a bible study,' the man replies.
'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed... I'm a journalist and tomorrow's paper will have this on the front page.'
The journalist leaves. The following morning the man buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page:
'Right Wing Republican Christian Fundamentalist Assaults African Immigrant and Steals His lunch.'

Powered flight
December 17, 1903 101st anniversary of powered flight
Orville and Wilbur Wright
After extensive experimentation with wing structures, motor control, propellers, and various mechanical systems, the brothers left Dayton, Ohio, for Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, to test their aircraft in the consistently windy conditions along the coast. On December 17, 1903, with Orville at the controls, their flying machine flew 120 feet in 12 seconds. Two additional flights that day covered 175 and 200 feet, reaching an altitude of 10 feet.

A virtual vacation
You see I am a Ham radio operator and having this privilege I can travel around the world
with the turn of a few dials on my radio. Today I took a virtual vacation to some very exotic
countries such as China, Argentina, Canada, Japan, Italy, Scotland, S. Korea, and of course
several cities here in the USA. And now I think its time for bed, I'm worn out after all that
travailing.
