RE: Giants
By the by, Drich, acromegaly as a condition operates on the average size of a population. Granted that in the past 100 years there have been men at or above eight feet in height, but 3000 years ago, the average height of a man was nearly six inches shorter than it is today. Cinjin's contention that a "giant" could have been six and a half to seven feet tall is a reasonable estimation-certainly more so than a ten foot man.

Quote:Like it or not Giant people are real.

No, "Giants" are mythological creatures. Large, uncoordinated disease riddled people who often live shorter painful lives are real. Oh, and 7' NBA players are real too.

Quote:The fact that you can take an actual set of undoctored pictures, and documented facts and still twist them to support the Idea that gaints do not exist shows without doubt who the 'Sheepeople' are here. In Your world, and in the mythos your heart says, nay demands that you believe that Giants do not exist so you can cast this story aside, and you scramble to trivialize and dismiss any facts that do not support what you want/have been told to believe. I feel the embarassment of science and fact worshiper all over the world on this one.

I twisted nothing. I showed that you are the one twisting the word giant into whatever you wish it to be. The only embarrassment you should feel is your own as you point the finger at me for your own offense.

Quote:Your continued belief in the non existance of Giants becomes a matter of personal belief/faith.

Myths get larger with time. It's part of the human condition. If you think that your Goliath story is immune to such things than you sir are a faithful follower of the shepherd and belong safely locked in your pen.

Fair enough; I don't want to make you look silly.

You're citing a painting now, as well as a story? I prophesy it'll be a dream next.
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.'

Do a google search on how we understand giants grow to their size.

ROFLOL
Love you new sig too.

But seriously, what would you have me say?

You could admit your poor scholarship. Of course you don't have to, it's already been revealed time and agian.

Quote:At least i acknowledged your effort, even though it did not merit a serious response.

It destroyed your charade.


Quote: At this point you and your buddy are just name calling with general non specific statements.. Which is fine if this is where you are in life. No judgment here, for i know I had to go through that stage of life too..
Not hardly. You work really hard to stay in denial.


[qutoe] i posted the offensive emoticon just to see what you would do and say. I have taken you to your limit on this topic, and I wanted to see what was just past that limit.[/quote]
You are a liar.


Quote: As it turns out it is Just an empty appeal to a 'religion' you know very little about. This appeal to my 'christianity' comes in the wake of all of the 4 letter words you have called me and all of the personal insults you have thrown my way, on top of which you were instrumental in getting me ban from that other atheist site. Yet you appeal to mercy and honor when you show/have none.

I appeal to nothing. Your actions are measured by your own religion. The only hypocrisy is your own.

[qutoe]This is blatant hypocrisy. to act in a way you condemn other for acting. [/quote]
I am measuring your actions by your religion, which I do not follow. You Fail.


Quote:Now that it is established that you are a hypocrite, lets look at your failed understanding of Christianity.

Scurrying back to clinging to your narcissistic delusion in which you kid yourself that you know so much more about your own superstitions than everyone else. funny how it keeps coming back into your face that you don't. I imagine your false sense of superiority has taken quite a beating in the last couple of months.


Quote:Christianity demands that i forgive you as my forgiveness is tied to my forgiveness of others. This forgiveness i have shown you is tied to the fact that i give your biblically based questions the same attention and consideration as anyone else.

Chanting your mantra desperately . It's hogwash. You are kidding yourself.
I don't want your self-aggrandizing illusion of forgiveness, and it's clear that you claiming to forgive anyone is a bald-faced lie. You teem with hatred. It's why you are here. You have been so angry for so long that you don't even know you're angry any more.

Quote:I start with a clean slate everytime you ask a new biblically based question.
I haven't asked your sorry ass any biblical question. You have nothing I want. More of your self-aggrandizing narcissistic self-delusion.

Quote: That said Forgiveness does not mean I have to respect or honor you as you honor yourself.
You sound like you are trying to convince yourself of something. All you wind up doing is spouting self-righteous gibberish. I don't give a shit about your respect. I don't want it.

Quote:Christ illustrates this Himself when dealing with the Pharisees. He was rather harsh with them and dealt with them in a very harsh way not consistent with how they thought they should be 'handled' by this representative of God. There are many examples but Mat 23 has alot of them in one place.

Go pound your sermon up your ass, along with a couple of kilos of fire ants.

Quote:Respect is earned. If you want my respect you have to give to get.
I couldn't care less about your "respect". If you had any respect for any of us, you would go the fuck away. You don't, and you don't know what respect even is.

Quote:There are many people here that started off on the wrong foot with me but I have learned to respect them.

INCORRECT. IYOU have started off on the wrong foot with everyone else. MOre of your narcissism coming embarrassingly to the fore.


Quote:You have this opportunity before you as well. For i know there is a deeper reason you followed me to the .org site than just to everyone what little you know about the things you seem to hate.

You self-absorbed twat. I haven't followed you anywhere. You keep making that claim and I keep reminding you that it's the product of your own self-absorbed narcissistic delusions. You just aren't that important, you vain little snot.

Quote: Now the question is will your pride allow you to accept this invitation?
I invite you to go jump off a fucking bridge.

Excuse me, 'sir'. You can act like a little cunt in this thread all you want, but I won't have words put in my mouth. Go and find where I said that, or withdraw the comment and apologise.

Also I like how you then go on to say 'I showed that there have been men that approached 9/10ft' - no, you showed that ONE man got to 8ft 11. That's still quite a way off ten feet. Approaching 9ft isn't the same, you're twisting the figures to suit what you've been able to show. And as I said before, we're talking one man, of whom we have pictures of their 5ft 11 father. Not a community of giants as described in your shitkicking little book.

I ask again, the evidence for them is what? How is it that we have lots of human remains found all over the world from various timeframes, and yet even though we know where and in what timeframe we should be looking (from a geological standpoint), there is not a single bit of evidence that they ever existed?

You also owe us an apology for putting forward a piece of evidence that had already been utterly discredited, because that's called being disingenuous. Shows how desperate you are that you would revert to 'evidence' already admitted to be a hoax.

Answer the questions and give apologies for the above, or get out of my thread.

we are not talking about 1 missing colony we are talking about millions of years these missing species were in existance (billions of indivisuals) and not one can be found. YET, even in their absence Evolution is taught as an absolute part of our history. not to mention their isn't a 'great flood' to wash all your evidence out to sea in your version of world history.. so unless you can produce something to support what you take on faith I'd say we are on equal footing.
