Oh absolutely, I'm just shocked at the idea the author would presume others feel this way too.

Can you quote the evidence here? The link is paywalled.

I quoted the James bible for a reason—not because it's a good translation (it's obviously not) but it formed the English preconceptions that people structure their understanding of christianity around in the anglo…

How is that a problem? Even within christianity the bible is not considered "true" or "absolute" or "the word of god" or "sacred" outside of niche literalist communities. If you're chasing coherence with texts written…

The costs of propagating such a text are significant enough this act implies serious buy-in from the community (if only its ruling class).
I don't think that's a serious barrier in this case. The above poster just would rather dismiss a statement rather than give it serious thought. It's easier to simply claim to know the one true meaning of "simple"…

Any distinction is likely only about 500 years old at most. Though I do very much dislike the term "religion" for interpreting history as it connotes so much that's specific to abrahamic religions and in particular…

...or someone attempting to blame palestinian activists. This smells a lot more like someone trying to ape activist language.
