I said "gnomic", not "gnomish". If you don't know what is meant by a 'gnomic' utterance, here you are:-

gnomic
adjective
expressed in or of the nature of short, pithy maxims or aphorisms.
"that most gnomic form, the aphorism"
difficult to understand because enigmatic or ambiguous.
"I had to have the gnomic response interpreted for me"

I meant the second bit: what you had posted was so enigmatic as to be entirely opaque to my comprehension.

It's no good trying to exclude the religious element. See the NY Daily News bit I cited, where Koranic authority was explicitly claimed. So what if some Christians sometimes mis-cite Holy Writ? Whataboutery is never an argument. & you are still evading my challenge to point to any instance of such being the occasion of anything approaching the outcomes which which we are concerned here. You don't really want me to copy my questions yet again, do you?
