I agree that people are prone to do such things and after reading your
post I would have to say to fit snugly among the ranks of those you just
described. Please see below as I attempt to fix the hideous mess of
presumption and downright fallacy that you have presented.

As usual with many zealots, they are high on (unfounded) arrogance and
low on actual facts. Scholarly consensus holds that the Great Pyramid
was built by the Fourth Dynasty Pharoah Khufu in the period of 2551 BC
to 2528 BC. It should be noted that carbon dating of organic material
within the mortar (from several areas of the Great Pyramid has yielded
dates 3809 BC and 2869 BC (there is a modest range with these
measurement methods but they illustrate that the mortar was laid into
position no later than the 26th millenium BC). As for the wild
statements you made at the end of that paragraph regarding men living
900 years and Gilgamesh, they are their own refutation.

"Scripture" proves nothing, it says lots of things... be careful. Your
statement regarding the reason the Pyramids were built has to be the
clearest sign you are quick to throw out speculations that fit your
little picture of the world and dress them up as unquestionable fact.
In the real world, the fact is we do not know for sure why the Pyramids
were built. The most cogent explanation I have seen has been they were
part of a rather elaborate tradition dating back to ancient times (The
Message of the Sphinx, Bauval and Hancock).

Flood? I saw somewhere you claim this "Flood" happened sometime in the
early 3rd millenium. Any sediment deposits to evidence this? Or is your
sole support your own glazed-eyed zealot approach to this issue? The
last major flooding of the what is now Egypt, Arabia, and the
surrounding regions was between 11,000 BC and 9000 BC. This flooding
was caused by the melting of the Wisconsin and Wurm ice-caps and the
earlier recession of the Tazewell Advance. Modern scholars do not
recognize the possibility of the flood in the early 3rd millenium.
Again, there is no evidence for such a claim. So before taking your
grain of inaccuracy and using it to go on a wild speculation tantrum,
how about find a few facts and then start from there.

Its funny that your claims against your 'opponents' seem always very
appropriate for yourself. You are definitely "fabricating
sensationalism" that definitely destroys any chances of having any
cogent discussion on the matters at hand.

If I have not adequately illustrated John the Forerunner's lack of
grounding in anything resembling reality, I believe his SIG seals the
case shut. Problem is that zealots are never wrong in their own mind so
you end up watching them portray themselves as perfect and the holder of
some divine knowledge, when they in fact are suffering from what
psychologists term as mild delusions (of grandeur in John's case).
