"You could probably find modern-day icon painters who said their works were to the glory of god" Of course you probably could/would they are depicting religious themes and are probably/possibly of a religious bent otherwise they would be painting such works.

Is it really that difficult to figure that out.

However someone quotes "according to a document of the time" and believes it as gospel. The same person who excluded first hand accounts of WW1 as being biased/not true/written by people with a personal agenda/not published by proper historians and sold in proper bookshops.

Amazing
