forget it mac any scholar will tell you those books are nonsense -
even if that scholar has
never submitted a scholarly article to a peer reviewed journal
never written a scholarly book on the history of religion
in fact this scholar has never authored or created any body of work at all.
nor is there anything in concrete objective physical reality existing that proves this scholar is a scholar.
oh ok - except for this article due for submission to that well known peer review journal: I'D ASSUME THE WOMAN GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT (published bi-annualy):
Of 556 accusations of rape examined in an Air Force study, 27 percent of the accusers admitted, either just before taking a polygraph test or after failing one, that they had lied. - McDowell, Charles P., Ph.D. "False Allegations." Forensic Science Digest, (publication of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations), Vol. 11, No. 4 (December 1985), p. 64.In a nine-year study of all resolved rape cases in a Midwestern U.S. city of 70,000, the accusers recanted their charges 41 percent of the time. The 41 percent figure does not include the other accusations that the police department recorded as unfounded, for which there was insufficient evidence to establish the assault. - Kanin, Eugene J., Ph.D. "False Rape Allegations." Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 23, No. 1 (1994), pp 81-92.
A survey of all the forcible rape complaints during a three-year period at two large Midwestern state universities found that 50 percent of the accusations were false. At each university, the complaints and investigations were the responsibility of a ranking female officer, and no complaint was declared false unless there was a recantation by the accuser. Fifty-three percent of the accusations were motivated by a need for an alibi; revenge was the motive for 44 percent. - Kanin, Eugene J., Ph.D. "False Rape Allegations." Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 23, No.1 (1994), pp 81-92.
he has however -
studied with scholars (who hasn't?)
and he does know scholars (who doesn't?)
does this make him a scholar - yes!!
why -
because he says so - look -
when ideas presented in an article are ridiculous, I don't consider reading the whole book. This is the way all scholars work, since reading time is limited and valuable, and there is way too much chaff out there to wade through.
(besides reading a whole book cuts into scholarly time that could be far more efficiently utilised goofing off in internet chat rooms for years on end).
and thats all the proof we dare ask for.
i would never try and argue with someone who knows a scholar -
mac you are free to believe nonsense. there's a scholar here who doesn't care. But he will tell you what it is.
goo. (stupid troll awaiting deletion because a person who knows a scholar requested it class.)
