A Good, Bad or Average Theory What's The Difference?

You do mock Sadie, so don't try The Semantics Game with me.  I am so much better at it than you are.

Please give examples to support your opinion. Thank you.

[Mr Gray]

Thank you, but feel free to mock/criticise my beliefs if you wish. Just don't mock/criticise me as a person.

a persons beleif is part of their persona...Its not possible to mock someones beliefs and not mock the person

[Mr Gray]

I'm not mocking anyone. I reserve the right, however, to express my views on a theory which, in my opinion, is so out of the ordinary it is not believable. Theories should rest on evidence, not on myth in my opinion.

those who question 911 would say their theories are based on evidence

Some people are unable to seperate their opinions and beliefs from their 'self'. That's exactly why they feel personally attacked when it's their opinions and beliefs which are being questioned.

My theory: Sergei Malinka and Robert Murat conspired with the T9 to sell MM to Moroccan carpet dealers in return for an antique Persian Mahal rug. The rug was sold at Sotheby's and the proceeds split evenly (minus commission).
All my opinion, of course. Please don't scrutinise it, or mock it in any way, as I may be offended.

Oh! the open window,boy are the defence in for some fun with the prosecution witness's.

Absolutely right.  But basically it is a knowledge of the use of words which some people on this Forum don't have.  Probably to do with lack of education, so not actually their fault.  And it can be quite hard work in choosing words carefully.
Why bother when mocking someone is so much more fun.

This breeding thing - how old would she have been before they started the breeding process, 11, or maybe 12 ?
Wasn't that reputedly the age of Mary?

Best its only one child, although with Jesus it caused a stir,but with Cain and Abel, it was two's a crowd.

What on Earth did Cain and Abel have to do with Jesus?

Did any of them have a Theory?

I think that post is absolute rubbish... It's our beliefs that make us who we are.  People don't just believe in the bible... They are Christians

So you're convinced that criticising someone's theory is just the same as criticising the person? Doesn't that mean that no theories at all can be discussed?

Or is it who we are that leads us to choose what to believe in? It seems to have worked that way round with David Icke.

The chosen one could only come from them.

That still supports the fact that our beliefs define who we are

Did I say that?  I don't think so.

Really?  What happened to The Land of Nod?
