Well, the patron saint of doubters is St. Joseph, but I can't seem to find one of nonbelievers (or heathens!). The patron saint of souls in purgatory is "Anima Sola, Our Lady Mt. Carmel"
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Wasn't St. Christopher de-sainted for being not real?
It wasn't that Some Dude Named Christopher didn't exist; it's that the Big Important Saintly Story That Got Him Saintified (you know, turned stones into jam, healed a million orphan puppies in one day) didn't really happen. IIRC, what was alleged to have happened (but then later was decided by, I don't know, the CSI Vatican division) was that Chris carried the Christ child across a river or something.
Get it? Safe travel?
Sometimes the patron saint thing overreaches, IMO.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

St Anthony St Anthony please come 'round, something's been lost that cannot be found?
Tony, Tony, turn around; something's lost and can't be found.
That's how I learned it when I interned in college for St. Anthony Messenger. St. Tony was our main man. Him and and St. Frank.

no writing!

Dude, I can *totally* write. I just can't sell anything.
Though it's really hard to force myself to write when I don't have a deadline. Or a paycheck.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I've carried around St. Christopher medals. I figure he's not a real saint and I'm not a real Catholic so it all works out.
