You are totally wrong. Sword is not the place to test a theory like this. Heh, 
why don't we include some stuff from Jehovah's witnesses to see if they are 
right? (Apart from having their Modules to learn about them)

As you said you are trying to convince as many christians as possible to 
reject the vowels in the Hebrew text. That is your motivation, not testing 
your theory. So forget it.

It works this way instead: 
- - make your theory public and prove it in a scientific way
- - have it accepted by many theologians and mainstream christianity
THEN we can go and add your stuff. Not the other way round.
