Really don't plagiarize a paper for your religion class
ladysisyphus has to explain this to her students:
we will catch you.
Why am I so certain? Because we are scholars of religion. We study groups that call themselves things like 'People of the Book'. We prove our arguments by running back to documents whose ancientness you can't imagine, picking through dozens of translations and codices and fragments. We care about things like word frequency statistics and whether a character is written on or above the line. Even the most secular, practice-oriented, modern among us has surely spent hours, days, months, years on one text. And if by chance we don't care about the texts themselves, we care about the people who care about the texts -- which, by some commutative property, means we eventually care about the texts.
We write entire papers on single words. You do not want to mess with us.
Context lays out the consequences, which neither she nor they will enjoy.
QWP and elaboration.
