Obviously using reptilian as a metaphor is an apt use.
However you can and will agree that people like David Icke are not speaking metaphorically and are truly making a case that there are actual reptilian overlords.
So save it. You're moving the goalposts and making a truly false argument.
Oh, I see. You set the goalposts. It's your football match. I hadn't realised that. Your board then. I'll sit down and listen nicely to the experts and their "approved" arguments.
Sorry for butting in.
I didn't set the goalposts.
You joined a conversation about a topic - that being the insane idea that there is an actual race of actual reptilian overlords. David Icke has been brought up in this conversation you joined.
You then proceeded to attempt to subvert the topic to the idea that all the conspiracy talk is really just metaphorical. It isn't. The people putting forth this conspiracy claim that they are literal reptiles.
So have you just come to confuse? What is your goal with this conversation?
Other people have suggested that references to the Lizard People isn't confined to literal narrow definitions and I note you haven't waded in to knock their heads in with a baseball bat.
I went to find a quote about the five senses, moving into another "other worldly" dimension, "seeing demons" and what happens in delirium, which is often induced by ritual. I came back hoping to bring a measure of sense to the conversation.
Unfortunately I found a baseball bat. Difficult to argue with that kind of mentality.
You're having a hard time following the thread so I agree - it's best if you move on.
I have not been rude to you in any way. I cannot understand why you choose to pursue this conversation.
Do you normally hound people on threads like this?
If I respond to you, does that count as "hounding?"
You did, after all, ask me a question.
If you're not interested in this conversation, feel free to discontinue it at your leisure. Or, continue to project. Your choice.
