Why even act surprised considering all the malicious smears posted here by you and others. Here Zwaarddijk attempts to defame Acharya as a racist:

Quote:
"Hrm, it seems Acharya S thinks the pygmy people had a worldwide civilization in several thousand BCE. But it turns out she doesn't even stop there. She thinks ... get this ... that the pygmy people are actually caucasian. Is there some weird racism here that I don't get? If a culture had a worldwide (imaginary) civilization, they can't be real africans, they have to be caucasians?

She actually argues for this in a book that mainly tries to explain why Jesus didn't exist - The Christ Conspiracy.

If that kind of bullshit is permissible, .... what the hell else goes? FACT CHECKING ANYONE?"

http://www.rationalskepticism.org/ch....html#p1487954
She said no such thing. It's nothing more than another malicious smear easily spotted when one actually checks the book, which nobody at the Rational Skepticism forum ever did. This type of crap is dealt with in several threads over at Freethought Nation.

Here's another falsehood by Zwaarddijk in post 233 here:

Quote:
she also claims that
- homo sapiens has been around for at least 2.8 million years
That's not what she said at all. She was quoting Churchward and the source citations in Christ Conspiracy are right there where it should be.

What she really said was:

Quote:
"As to the possible age of human culture, Albert Churchward makes this surprising assertion:

"The Solar Cult last about 100,000 years and the Lunar before this about 50,000 years. The Stellar Cult anterior to these and lasted about 300,000 years; how much longer it is impossible to say, but from remains found of the Stellar Cult of the people in Pliocene Strata formations they were in existence at least 600,000 years ago."48

"Based on archaeological, anthropological, astrological and mythological evidence, A. Churchward claimed that modern humans must have existed at least 2.8 million years ago.49 While Churchward wrote several decades ago, and would thus seem to be outdated in the face of so many scientific discoveries and conclusions since then, his arguments are compelling."

- Christ Conspiracy, page 404

Footnote 48: A. Churchward 149 'The Origin and Evolution of Religion'
Footnote 49: A. Churchward 343 'The Origin and Evolution of Religion'

The critic is attempting to make something out of this that is just not there. Again, the critic is simply trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. There could not possibly be a better example of quote-mining out of context by Seirios/Miekko/Zwaarddijk, or whoever he is, in order to smear Acharya S. Just stop it and grow up and stop wasting our time.

(* Note that there will be no mention of Churchward in the 2nd edition to 'Christ Conspiracy' as everything from him will be removed.)

- Here

It was explained to him many times:

Quote:
"Again, as explained to you several times previously, we're open to corrections because we strive for accuracy. Unfortunately, your blogs and comments make corrections nearly impossible to find due to the fact that we'd have to sift through your caustic blogs full of vitriolic insults and malicious hate-speech that makes finding valid criticism very difficult."

- Here
It has been proven beyond any doubt that you guys Zwaarddijk and a couple others are in fact spreading malicious falsehoods. you guys have never offered any apology for these outragious malicious smears at all. You should be ashamed of yourselves as any person with a conscience would embarrassed by it but, not you guys, so, "deranged sociopath" certainly could be the most reasonable explanation.

Temporarily locked for review.

It is not productive when posters merely trade accusations of malicious falsehoods.

Feel free to start a new thread on a specific issue.
