The origin of the word 'Cannibal'

This practice has its roots in a prime function of all priests of
Baal. Keep in mind that the Hebrew word for priest is Cahn.

Consider the following quote from The Two Babylons, by Alexander
Hislop, page 232: "And it was a principle of the Mosaic law, a
principle no doubt derived from the patriarchal faith, that the
priest must partake of whatever was offered as a sin-offering
(Numbers xviii. 9, 10). Hence, the priests... were necessarily
required to eat of the human sacrifices; and thus it has come to
pass that 'Cahna-Bal,' the 'Priest of Baal,' is the established
word in our own tongue for a devourer of human flesh."

In fact, I never doubted Ray.

To the lurkers:Below is Evolutionist Trickery #377

"This guy is not even taken serious by: X Y and Z "

You will note that the piece gives reasons why X, Y, and Z don't
take Hislop seriously. Good reasons, it seems to me.

Now, in discussing the etymology of "cannibal" specifically, can you
give any reason why we should prefer Hislop's (and Ray's)
undocumented claims to the carefully researched etymologies of the
Oxford English Dictionary?

The Oxford is wrong because it did not go far back enough in history.

a kindergardener can see that.

The OED does not go further back in history because there is not a
single documented pre-Columbus source of the word cannibal with the
meaning of man eater, its that simple If you have one, send them in,
they always encourage the public to give them earlier documented
versions of a word than tey could find.
Should be easy for you. if you were right, there should be lots of
texts talking about man eaters using the word cannibal, from biblical
times right to the 16th century. Just one of them is sufficient to
falsify the OED etymology


The word canibal was not used during 'biblical times' (what ever 'biblical
times' is suspose to mean). Why? IT DID NOT EXIST.

Do you think there was NO term used in Canna (or the surrounding region for
that matter) to represent the act of cannibalism?

Clue. The Priests of Baal. They were cannibals for the reasons IN the
article as well as for the reasons recorded by a plethora of other ancient
texts. The phrase "Canna Baal" was latter distorted by time as people
migrated and language patterens changed into the word you use today that
started in Spain.

Get over it. Ray was correct.

Liar!

Madman (aka Mudbrain) is on record as claiming:-

That 3.5% actually means 25%...

That the actor Paul Newman was a creationist...

That "Dr." Kent Hovind has made lots of *scientific* discoveries...

That wars have been fought because some scientific finding discredited
some facet of some religion...

To have a "higher education" than most posters to this news group...

To understand how geologists determine the age of any given sample of
rock...

That trilobites were Cambrian mammals... [that one still makes me
laugh]

And that he has "created genes" and not evolved ape genes...


Now, I ask you, is this the sort of guy you would give an credence to?
Certainly I don't.
