My point was "One could argue that back and forth all day but it is a consideration." when it comes to who deserves what and who is right or wrong. Throw Gods into the decision making of who is right and wrong and it gets really ugly.
It doesn't seem right to Americans, but in the Middle East, orators have been known to casually drop references to people or events from over a thousand years ago, content in the knowledge that their audience will understand them. Our belief that history started yesterday, may be peculiarly American.
