In the Tain why did cuchulain killed his son?
Cuchulain serves to act as Ireland's 'Hercules' or 'Achilles' he is a representation of the perfect warrior and one trait that was and still is very prominent among the Irish is a stubborn sensibility and a refusal to back down regardless (the Northern Irish problems are a precise example). The episode with Connla is created to signify Cuchulain's brutal stubborn nature. It is a common theme throughout Ultonian mythology that Cuchulain will never turn down a fight (except in the instance with Fergus' whereby master and pupil make an agreement).

Who is the hero of the Cattle raid of Cooley?
The hero is a young man named Cuchulain....although, you'll want to check my spelling, I'm sure I got it wrong. Anyway, he took up arms because of a prophecy given by a druid, who was an adviser to the King of Ulster. And so he took up arms, and began to fight. When the cattle raid began, the men of Ulster were besieged by an ancient curse, weakened to the point that they couldn't fight. However, Cuchulain, who wasn't born in Ulster, still could fight. His very presence kept the entire enemy army at bay.

Is it pagan to worship a dead man on a cross?
Well that would really depend on who the dead man on the cross is. If it's Jesus, then it's probably not pagan(though some pagans incorporate Christianity into their religion.) I can't think of any pagan figures that would be on a cross, but there are many sacred figures who are bound, tortured and/or dead(such as Prometheus, who was bound to a stone, or Cu Cuchulain who tied himself upright to a stone when he died so he would be on his feet.)
