Sometimes I agree with the skeptics; what is it with these charismatics?

They gather in stadiums and around television sets. They yell, jump up and down and wave their hands around. It’s all these people talk about. They spend money on all sorts of paraphernalia; bumper stickers, t-shirts, pins, hats, etc., etc. It really is amazing how much money they will spend, and it all makes their leaders rich.

In short, the Urantia Book aka Urantia Papers aka The Fifth Epochal Revelation developed between 1924-1955 AD from unknown sources. It is basically a New Age alien re-writing of Earth history, how the Bible is not true as it has always been know, who Jesus was really, whence He came really, what his message was really, etc. Basically, that which I outlines in The how, what and how of extra-terrestrial alien messages.

Daniel 2:43 is a hotly discussed text within personages researching issues such as the Nephilim, giants, etc. mostly due to one term within it, “they,” in which very much is read—much too much for the context, or so it seems to me, as the verse, chapter and entire book have nothing to say of Nephilim, giants, etc. related issues.

Here are the manner in which various English translations have the verse in question (brackets in the versions that follow are in the original). After that I quote various commentaries.

The 2017 AD movie Kong: Skull Island was directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts and stars Tom Hiddleston as James Conrad, Brie Larson as Mason Weaver, Samuel L. Jackson as Preston Packard, John C. Reilly as Hank Marlow, et al.

The movie is saturated with symbolism, straight out open conspiracy theorizing and subtexts. I was hoping to find the script so that I could quote from it but I will have to loosely paraphrase from metal notes.
