:::::I disagree with you Chris. If there is a Wikipedia article on Einstein's theory of relativity, we do quote and cite Einstein himself, along with other sources. The number of citations is so many that there is really no doubt about the validity of Einstein's theory, and his own work is directly read, instead of reading later citations of his work. Furthermore, if a text is used as a textbook in a world-class university at a graduate level, (which is clearly listed as a valid reliable source on [this page|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research#Reliable_sources]) then I don't see why one wouldn't cite the work itself. In any case, as you can see below, it is not that I cannot cite peer-reviewed journal papers. But I strongly feel that citing them on a religious matter is empty - it doesn't indicate that the people actually practicing the religion really believe what these academics are writing in Journals. Hence I hold the view that peer-reviewed Journal publications would NOT be as reliable as the those practicing the religion itself. If this were an article about the culture of the country, or the history of the religion, I would concede fully that peer-reviewed academic Journal papers would weigh more than a religious person, because out of enthusiasm for their own religion, a religious person might make tall claims about its history. But when it comes to understanding a matter of religious doctrine, the people of the religion themselves matter more, because they are less likely to misrepresent the actual religion - obviously they want their religion to be well-understood by others. But academics writing about a religious doctrine are less likely to spend the time required to fully grasp a doctrine and may do a superficial analysis.
