By the way for purposes of clarification I acknowledge up front that the recent rulings by Jewish bodies regarding MJs being other than Jewish exist and never meant to imply otherwise Also I myself think the matter could reasonably be submitted at AN I and probably should be although I am less familiar with its regular activity than you If you were to say that you thought my view reasonable I would obviously consider raising the matter myself I think there might be a question possibly one to be addressed in the MOS about how much weight and where to give such statements by other groups in the same basic field This would also probably relate to the nature of such sources So for instance when the Dalai Lama and Catholic Pope make clearly doctrinal statements which they say are the final word on the subject at least within their groups those statements have more or less the force of law They can also presumably make an official proclamation to the effect it has always been true that this group believes and that statement would be accepted by the followers I am not so sure the same can be said for other groups Personally I think one of the most valuable things that could be included in the MOS would be how to phrase information relating to internal official statements of belief particularly when there are differences of opinion sometimes even within the broad faith itself as well as religious opinions of external groups and even philosophically biased opinions which are presented as science such as Richard Dawkins and some others make If you have any input on how to deal with such matters there I am sure we would all be very interested in seeing it Also on a at best marginally related matter there seems to be a problem of a long term POV pusher over at Christ myth theory which bares remarkable similarities to this one If you were to want to look over the history there it might be useful to have an involved opinion on that matter
