There is so much weird shit like that from the Bible (or the apocrypha). And so many people who eat it up.

“-im” is a Hebrew plural morpheme. The root “nephil” means something like bully or tyrant. Take from that what you will.

But, most of these crazies don’t care what the original text said. They read something that is a translation of a translation of a translation, and then they still think it is infallible, and plenty of ridiculous antics ensue. The understanding of Nephilim as angels or giants or whatever comes from one particular game of telephone played over thousands of years.

We need to get the mutually incompatible conspiracy theorists to argue with each other and waste their own time instead of arguing with sane ppl and wasting their time.

It doesn’t work because either they find a way to make their theories compatible; there can still be logical inconsistencies, because ultimately the theories aren’t logically sound anyway.

Alternatively, they write one another off as delusional. A person who doesn’t believe in any conspiracy theories can still be “saved”, but someone who believes another incompatible theory is beyond redemption.

It’s like the story with the three Jesuses. Lock three people who believe they’re literally Jesus into a room, all of them walk out still believing that they’re Jesus, and convinced that you just locked them into a room with two madmen.
