Actually you didn't. Because not only have I "watched the movie" I wrote 1/2 of it. You said buried in this thread are examples of people wanting to 'discuss snoke' and I keep pointing back to the movie. Well as the head writer of this 'movie' I say without a doubt the only time i point back to the movie is when I have explained what the movie has said several times, and the hard headed old goat I am talking with, still does not understand the point the movie/I make, blows his broken argument completely out of the water. To which I say he needs to see the time lines illustrated out and all of the information compiled as the movie lays it all out. Then even if he does not want to believe he can at least see the movie Destroys his approach and undermines his argument concerning Rohl's theories.

Again if nothing else I'd like to at least have a topical discussion, rather than watch Minnie's parade of straw men arguements.

There is no proof for exodus and Stimbo really just did play your card against you

You drank the koolaid because it is comforting to your beliefs.  It's just a belief.  Throwing around words like 'truth' just shows how desperate you are for validation.  I watched the video and for my money, Rohl's and Mahoney's evidence on many points was little more than far-fetched speculation, draped over a few small points of data.  It's an interesting argument, but not nearly strong enough as to justify invalidating sound archaeological chronology.  And that's the bottom line.  You believe a weak argument because it provides you comfort.  That is not the grounds for 'truth'.

In your mind's eye what are some examples of "far fetched speculation" and what were the small data points?

... that's not what .. Never mind.

If your going to be a vulture and pick at a topic after it's dead,(Ie, not offer and real or new information, but just try and dog pile on) be smart about it like the rest of those who do this, and make sure that it is really dead first. Otherwise you might just get called out or be made to look the fool when your support for a claim or idea has been shown to be in error.

RE: For those who want proof of the exodus
There's proof of everything I said for those who want it. Just read the thread.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If you read my messages and still believe the bible is true, you're reading my messages wrong. Read them again continually until you don't believe the bible is true. If you ever stop, you're just wrong, and you gave up on the truth that the bible isn't true.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Just one week into the new year, and Drich is already the front-runner for funniest post of 2016.

What the fuck, Drich (Mr. Law), did Mahoney lose a bet or something?

That would actually explain the generally piss-poor quality of the effort.  Much glitz - little hard fact.

Allow me to remind you of what your fucking movie is all about, drip-shit.  The first half consists of Mahoney being steadily being rebuffed by all those nasty Egyptologists and archaeologists telling him his fucking bible is a pile of shit.  Depressed, he retreats to his home to contemplate how his cherished fairy tales could be saved and resolves to take another trip to the region to get his bible bullshit re-inflated only to be smacked down by reality once again.

It is not until he brings in Rohl on his white fucking horse and drinks all the Kool-Aid that he finds someone will tell him what he desperately wants to hear.  YES...IT"S TWUE, IT'S TWUE (think Madeleine Kahn in Blazing Saddles) and all we have to do is re-write all of ancient history so we can shoe horn the fucking bible in.

Your bible is not worth that much effort drippy.  You are so easily fooled.

Two minutes in. Already can tell I'll be reading the book as well. Thanks.

I'll contact you for the epub, if I can't find it myself.
