Just in case you run across a religio-nazi who uses old English, here is a little gem I created for them . . .
.
If ye speak thy language of yore, it is but for fools to thinkith it holy, for as thy wind blowith, there is one thing we knowith, that it sounds even less refined, than the jackass who blows it out his behind . . . . .
.
Somehow people seem to think that we will be impressed if they use that fucking old English "thee", "thou", "thy", prefix-th, etc. . . . . . sorry, I am not impressed. It sounds like jackass flatulence to me!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Reminds me of R. Dawkins, on why the book of Mormon is obviously a phony. It was written in the nineteenth century, but it is written in seventeenth century English. " No one spoke like that then." And of course you have to ask if it is written by god, then why can't an all knowing god keep his English up to date. LOL.

“religio-nazi” - nice
Recently had one begin reading to me from ‘their text,’ to counter or answer something I’d questioned. Sounded like the ‘old English gobbledygook’ you’re referring to. I told them, either that didn’t make any sense, I couldn’t understand it, or it’s designed to be interpreted in infinite ways.. Likely all 3

Early middle english simply sounds more religious. Movies today often have sages speak jibberish just forthat reason. Antiquity seems to somehow assert validity. I would be impressed if they could produce an actual god. Perhaps they could use early middle english to speak one into existance, everyone knows thats what Jesus spoke.
