It's not my reaction and it's a cheap trick worthy of the liberals on your part.

What? Explain to me carefully why and how it relates to a liberal trick. I didn't say it was your reaction, but you have responded against it and conversation shows that you haven't studied the issue and implications of the evidence, Biblical and historical, enough to take that position. Usually, it's been my experience that when that happens, the responder is emotionally invested in his position.

It is obvious that a number of posters that actually post to a discussion like this have an emotional reaction to the notion of European types being th edescendents of the Northern Kingdom. They call it "racist", "white supremist" and compare it to the British Isrealisists and Christian Identity church. They do this without taking the slightest amount of time to search out the base evidence.

Currently, as I'm sure you've noticed, there is a movement to demonize European types. They've stolen the world's resources, enslaved the worlds people, think their culture is superior to other cultures, blah, blah. You know the rap.

One demonizes when one has no counter-argument and wants to shut down the credibility of the opposition so that lack won't become apparent. That, my friend, is a cheap liberal trick.

Are these behaviors related? What do you think? You haven't expressed an opinion, just made an allegation. And that is another cheap liberal trick. You can tell me that you have not noticed anything like this, as I said, but since you don't, it has to be presumed you have.

You can advocate anything you want about who the Celts were before they were the Celts, or who the Lost Tribes were afer they were the Lost Tribes, but make a case for it. Get off your butt! I'm not going to play that much offense here. You're the one with something to sell.

I have made a case for it in at least the last two threads. None of that case is mentioned in this response, either agreed or refuted. It's a maxim that claims unanswered must be thought of by the respondent as true.

You are the one who needs to get cracking. I, and others, have given you evidence and logical conclusions for the existance of pro-celts, language leakage and influence, cultural chances, migration paths, current LT numbers, for example. This was after your presentation. Ball's in your court.

The "language leakage" arguments don't hunt. For a very patient explanation, try 281. Nobody has done more on this thread than misunderstand the problem. Nothing goes away that way. It's still there for anyone with an education.

Pretending that all polytheisms are alike, all metalworking is alike, and any pre-tech society pretty much is the same as another one does more to moot your point than to prove it.

One more time:

1) Most people think the Celts and Hebrews were different groups. How is this wrong and why has no one before you loonies noticed?

2) Weren't the Celts around before the Lost Tribes went lost? If you're going to cite the Exodus from Egypt as peopling Europe with the first wave of Celts, why don't any sources--not Exodus, not the Egyptians--mention any such thing? What is the evidentiary basis for what looks like an ad hoc revision?

Mumbles and handwaves don't get it done.

You're telling me I'm a racist if I don't shut up and go along with your nutcase theory. Sounds liberal to me.
