Thanks for pointing that out.

Is there someone here who can provide me with an interpretation (or translation) of this paragraph?
sorry I removed the 'are' in the end.

The halo's make reference to the genus that is generic for animal with perception and a soul for comprehension. And maybe it should say 'animal soul' that was prior to religion as an add-on, and kind of like trees who do not go to church and still wear the halo that we are looking for outside of Eden.

To this paragraph I should add that the 'taller the tale' the more 'doubt' it creates, which in the end is the purpose of religion, and indeed very much like it is Samoa where 'tall tale telling' was the art that shafted Margareth Mead. This art was known as 'sophistry' in ancient Greece where it's pupose was to encourage the courageous, and in Catholicism they use confessionals to do the same.

. . . and in particular I liked the idea that there also is oral Torah that is at least as binding as the written Torah. The 'at least' suggests that it is better and at least more practical for them. Then I can add that this is the reason why Jews are God's favorite OT people in the same way as Catholics are God's favorite NT people, simply because tradition emerges from the animal instinct of man, wherein they [at least finally] have the courage to tax the bullshit that is handed to them from the pulpit:

OK! I admit defeat.
