We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot I hope we can fix that there was no ill intent on my part As I said I m glad to wait until you re finished However to answer your question for topics as POV prone as religion I prefer to also see references from modern scholars outside the religion And now that I think about it part of what made me think it was an essay was that the text seemed POVish to me However it seems like you re not particularly interested in outside feedback on your article at this stage so I ll move along Feel free to press on ahead perhaps I ll check it out again in a month or so
