Religion

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    Zero writings or Druid artifacts have ever been positively identified.
    They may not have actually existed but rather have been a Roman and Greek term describing any number of different tribes/religions.
    Literally everything known about them comes from the descriptions of ancient Roman (particularly Pliny the Elder) and Greek authors and early Christian monks.
    They practiced human and animal sacrifice.
    They believed in astrology.
    Technically, only men of the all male, priestly class were actually Druids. Women and men who weren't actually priests were merely followers.
    All their considerable learning has been lost forever.
    Some modern day kooks claim they are Druids.

Why he might not be annoying:

    No taxes!
    Their priestly class maintained as awesome oral tradition of learning that took up to twenty years to complete.
    Although their is some question, they may have been responsible for Stonehenge.
    They were highly skilled healers.
    They are not believed to have gone around waking people up on Saturday mornings and definitely did not stone adulteresses or fly airplanes into the sides of buildings.
    They were terribly oppressed, first by the Romans and later by the early Catholic Church.
