This morning, I was sitting outside Waterstone’s, redistributing my shopping in my trolley, when I was approached by a couple of women. One of them asked me if I could spare them a minute to watch a short video. I thought they were doing some sort of vox pop so, cheerfully, I agreed. Maybe, I thought, they were local Conservatives and wanted my opinion on #ClownFall. Boy, was I wrong.
The video started and I noticed the title which contained the word ‘Bible’. I immediately explained that it was a complete and utter waste of time because I was a complete and utter atheist. She looked compassionate and said I shouldn’t feel lonely because there were quite a few around these days.
“Why would I feel lonely,” I asked with a quizzical look.
Anyway, we got to talking and I asked if she believed everything in the Bible which, following her eager head nodding, led me to ask about the giants on the ark. Were they killed as well, I asked. Yes, she eagerly replied.
The giants (or Nephilim) were the descendents of fallen angels who were abusing human women for their own nefarious activities. (We first became aware of them when we visited the Abbey of Saint-Savin back in 2018. Mirinda was so taken with the idea that she bought a mouse mat with them clinging to the outside of the ark.)
This pissed God off. It seems that he was the only one allowed to come down to earth and have sex with a human woman. Which makes me wonder about the progeny of the fallen angels and the human women. As well as being giants, were they like Hercules? Half god, half human? Or were they full on Jesus types?
So, because of the sort of ‘fair’ being that God is, he punished the children for the sins of their angel fathers. Or great great great grandfathers. It doesn’t matter how far back they go, he just hates them. I do wonder why he didn’t just send some sort of plague that only affects randy angels. Too clever for him? Maybe.
The Nephilim, were around 30 metres tall, apparently, which meant a few actually survived the great flood. In fact, an American archaeologist once found some Nephilim leg bones. He was mistaken. They turned out to have belonged to a mastodon.
Anyway, here’s a short passage that made me laugh.
This brief passage tells a very important origin story. A group of the “sons of God”, the Biblical name for angels, in rebellion against The Lord, came to Earth and took human women as wives to have illicit relations. And their children, half-human, half-angelic hybrids, were the Nephilim giants. The idea of angels sleeping with women and having kids is not something that all Christians agree upon, know about or even comfortable with. However, the truth of Christianity is based upon one source: God’s Word as revealed in the Holy Bible. And from a study of Scripture it becomes clear that this event did indeed happen.

And, the reason we know some survived the flood is, because they turn up later in the Bible. Moses sent out some spies and some came back telling of giants who were descended from Anak the Nephilim. And here’s some Christian proof: Goliath. Obviously, he was a Nephilim. QED.
In the end though, I have to ask if God was so upset with humans that he wanted to rid the planet of them all, but didn’t succeed, then how could he possibly be the all mighty, omnipotent being that everyone claims he is?
This is the question I should have asked the Christians, but I’d had enough of them by then. As they were leaving, one of them asked about my t-shirt. I explained that it referred to the dangers of fracking, which was based on scientific data and not a fairy tale.
