(11,573 posts)I have offered substantial facts to support my positions. You have not.
What you're now offering as a viable eymology is sourced to two extremely marginal fundamentalist websites, neither of whose authors has any more background in linguisitics than you do. It's nonsense.
If you want to look at raw ego, check your own posts. You've claimed to be a "liberal theologian," but your exegeses are abusurd to the point of grotesquerie. You've argued from ignorance and unsuccessfully with at least three professional psychologists in an attempt to defend the notion that religion=mental illness. You claim that Oxoford University wanted you to assume custody of a set of scholarly papers, yet you refer to its location as "the British Aisles." Etc. You have not shown that you have the expertise you claim in any field. Quite the contrary.
As a friendly gesture, for your own safety, I suggest you avoid little girls with wands.
