Virtually everything presented on FR is presented as undisputed fact. That's the way the court of public opinion works. You seem AWFULLY threatened by what he is offering for consideration and discussion.
Please try using some honey and logic and facts instead of throwing acid on everyone you disagree with. FR is not about street warfare and goons and thugs, it is about ideas and opinions and freedom to think and express those thoughts. It is not about tyrrany, but about reason. If you really are a college student, please start acting like one. And if you really are a Republican please show you are intellectually capeable of being one, for others are watching us too.
Yes you are, and you consistantly exhibit the characteristics of a bully and a coward. You attack someones ideas like a street goon, then lie about your intent. That has the intellectual virtue of professional wrestling. You get the respect you give. How much respect does that entitle you to?
Please don't represent yourself to be a Republican, for those are not Republican "virtues" and it demeans the rest of us.
Of course not, it is a Jewish site, and maybe they don't want any competetion for "preferred status" of "chosen people", or whatever is at stake here. But I don't see anyone bashing that site as the home of some wierd Jewish Cult. Let history and ideas stand or fall on their own. There is nothing like fresh air and sunshine to separate the good ones from the bad ones.
Hmmm, maybe. But I read Lost Tribes Profile, and I decided you must have some grievance against him or against Christianity, or maybe you just don't like history.
It looks to me like his sources are largely Biblical and historical, with a primary supplemental reference to a book on Assyrian history. Then a secondary reference to a mainline historic Christian church in England, with a 3rd level reference to materials by a Dr. Gene Scott, whoever he is. To say the source of LostTribe's profile and info is Gene Scott is obviously (even laughably) not true.
So just what's your problem? With the exception of a new (to me) historical interpretation regarding the origin of the Celts, there is nothing very different there at all. In my mind you are not even close to making your case.
It is not a new "interpretation", but has become a more prominent and respectable one the last few decades supported by numerous archeological finds. Celtic studies are a fine art in Europe, and there is now little doubt that the main body of Celts "originated" in great quantity south and west of the Caucasus mountains, sometime around 600 BC.
I just posted the link because to me it was a well put together link, easily understood. I don't think it's meant to be all inclusive. I've read about the Celts as a possibility, as well as several American Indian tribes. I think this is an interesting topic, the Pashtun (sp?) evidence seems serious, but as a casual reader I'm not sure any of it is compelling.
