BLP issues

I don't know where an agnostic and minimalist come from. These seem like a WP:BLP violation. It was an edit by 2604:CB00:1283:1400:C15E:CF77:CFB0:93CD (talk · contribs · (/64) · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · http · block user · block log).

I have watched some lessons by Cohen, and he does not sound like an agnostic, he sounds exactly like a Conservative Jew who is proud of his religious heritage, but such heritage is not a pact into becoming a fool in respect to what reason and scholars have to say about the Bible.

"Agnostic" sounds like character assassination for a religious leader (unlike "agnostic theist", for example). And "minimalist" is for many an excuse to not take him seriously (since their mind is already made up and do not like to be confused with the facts). tgeorgescu (talk) 06:46, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
