re: #476 Guanxi88

It’s not my fault you might be confused by the use of a fairly common lit-crit term in the context of a discussion of written revelations and the faiths that are ordered around them.

My point is that not all terms should be used in all subjects. Since we’re talking about ancient religions and their origins, “Ur” actually has meaning in that context that is primary above the lit-crit meaning— especially since Ur shows up in ‘Old Testament’.

As for putting down my thumb - Christianity and Islam look no further back than to the beginning of Hebrew scripture. Lecture Christian prophets and Mohammed about where they put their thumbs.

Which is fine as long as you’re looking at the history of the faiths as the faiths themselves document, but not if you’re looking at the actual history of the faiths.
