Esquilax. Prove you actually back up your bullshit.
You're here now. Why don't you go first?

I have many times documented through academic sources. Mostly books from professors I am more familiar with, but also the occasional academic article.
And don't fucking respond to me or talk to me. You approved of people (as a mod) saying I should stone people to death, so yeah. I don't deal with scumbags such as yourself.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

While you are perfectly free to respond or not respond to whom you wish, you don't get to dictate who talks to you in open thread. Knock it off.
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.'

I've got news for you: I can respond to whomever I want. I also have no idea what you're talking about... stoning people to death? What??
And you can't put me on ignore, me being staff and all, so I would suggest you continue the discussion instead, and answer this question:
You asked Esq to prove he's backed the things he's said. I asked the same from you. Why should Esq prove it if you don't?

So much hostility. Can't we all just be friends?

This thread makes my hope for humanity tremble.

I sadly spend too much time backing up my posts. Nobody probably reads the actually articles because of their scholarly nature, but I still include them. It's the nature of having to footnote every single page I wrote for my history papers.

Interesting you're still not posting any links. I'm now asking you to back up what you've claimed to have already backed up, but you refuse to do that. I wonder why that is...

I want to know about these cultures your 'friends' come from. I don't know anyone who actually eats/drinks blood.
