Guess it really gets down to what you're reading the Bible for,
doesn't it? The original poster didn't say. The person you're
replying to apparently assumed it was for spiritual reasons, and
you're apparently counter-assuming it was for history and geography.

Speaking of weak, your examples are easily addressed by any decent
encyclopedia.

Because it is basic to intellecual honesty. I know you find this hard to
understand, but most others in the NG _do_ understand it.

That is a pretty poor distraction. No, that is not likely to be his reason. It
is certainly not mine.

A better reason, _especially_ when dealing with someone who is either deeply
dishonest or incredibly irresponsible, (such as yourself), is so that the reader
can check the original source and see whether or not you quoted him out of
context -- as you so often do.
