He just brought it up as a subject of discussion and speculation. I am sure he doesn't believe it. I can't take in your "logical reasoning" because it doesn't have a major premise, a minor premise, and a rational conclusion, in that order. Figuratively St. Patrick might have, if you make the analogy of snakes representing paganism. He did basically convert everyone in Ireland to Christianity.

:hi, i don't believe a LOGIC teacher would in all seriousness pass this off as true. let's look at this logically. first of all, one person could not possibly "chase" members of only one family of animals and not others out of anywhere. second of all, even if he could, for the purposes of ensuring "peace from the critters", why not just kill them all. third of all, snakes, eventhough have hearing, are not particularly attentive listeners, so complicated instructions probably would be lost on them. and bisedes, if the purpose of ridding the isdand of these "eveil" creatures would be to stop witches from performing their "evil" rituals, it does not make sense, since everybody knows that newts' and slamanders' eyes and private parts are far more valuable than any snake stuff.
:take that to your teacher!
