You really dont have a clue do you?
You are of course free to express your own opinion but neither I nor my ideas are on trial here.
You have run this thread like it was some sort of Salem witch trial
You have your own pet theories and agenda and you regard anything else as some sort of heresy
I have tried to answer your questions when they were reasonable but Its clear by now (indeed it was clear from the beginning) that your only interest is attacking me.
Arguing doesn't establish who is right. Arguing only establishes who is the better arguer
I've said nothing whatsoever about you. Only your argument.
Yes, I do have my own pet theories, which I typically keep hidden because I'm a reconstructionist, and pet theories have no place in reconstructionism. I also have an agenda, but it has nothing to do with religion; my agenda is furthering the Open Source movement by arguing in favor of it whenever it comes up, and releasing my games as open source.
Debating and cross-examination has taught me so much in my years on this forum. I've cross-examined many ideas, and some have been successfully defended, and so I've adopted them. My own ideas have also been cross-examined, and if I'm unable to defend them, then that means I really should re-examine my views (something everyone should do, anyway.)
For the record, the kind of word-play your argument hinges on is something I, myself, used to do, and I've also fallen for others doing it in the past. Then I actually looked into how linguistics work, and it turns out that kind of word-play doesn't work.
After all, the Japanese say goodbye with "sayonara", and the Spanish say the same with "sayanora". It's uncanny. But there's no linguistic connection; it's just an amazing coincidence.
Plus, I fail to see the connection to the Salem Witch Trials. I've not accused you of inviting the devil into things, nor is your life on the line.
Did you really expect that your interpretations of Norse mythology would go unchallenged?
