So, according to you - EARLIER - a written item must have something about God or Jesus in it to qualify as “meat” or “edification”. Again, I point out to you, “Is there any mention of God or Jesus in Esther or Song of Solomon?”


This appears to be a religious article and also from a religious source. So yes, I expect some discussion about God or Jesus.

I would encourage you to expect the same.

“This appears to be a religious article and also from a religious source. So yes, I expect some discussion about God or Jesus.”

The article is about a particular misunderstanding of the Bible and Pope Benedict’s opposition to that misunderstanding. Thus, we should expect the article to focus on that - and it did. And, unless you have difficulty reading, the article says: “Yet it was his decision to publish, while pope, a three-volume study of the life of Christ (Jesus of Nazareth)...” Thus, “Jesus”, “Christ”, are mentioned. Thus, you are wrong from the start.

“I would encourage you to expect the same.”

I would encourage you to learn to read.

And, again, Esther and The Song of Solomon do NOT mention Christ, do not mention Jesus, do not mention God. Thus, according to your illogic, they have no meat and can’t be edifying.

And now, according to you, “This appears to be a religious article and also from a religious source. So yes, I expect some discussion about God or Jesus” and yet neither Esther or The Song of Solomon does. That must mean - according to your illogic - that they are not “religious” or not “religious sources”.
