disrespectful language i'm contending the neutrality of the following sentence in any case neither the mesha inscription nor the books of kings were written as objective history both were intended as propaganda for their respective gods kings to glorify yahweh the god of israel and the stele to glorify mesha and kemosh the god of moab i'm not so sure christians and jews would appreciate having their scripture referred to as 'propaganda' there must be a different way to phrase this sentence so it is respectful to people of faith
