I don't know where to place these thoughts, so I guess I will place them here

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, is blamed for saying that the Jews regarded Ezra (‘Uzzair) as the Christians regard Jesus, that is, as the son of God.

You need more paragraph breaks.

I think you are right.

[redcoast]

You probably also need a break in general. Ah, the carribbean!

Well, no, my main problem is that my life is one overlong break. But now I smell the beginning of serious work on another research project... or two or three... and I might even start an online comic. Maybe a few years of drift are about to end.

I would think Job is an especially strange choice, if only because many Jews seem to regard him as only a parable type of character. They do not believe the story of Job ever really happened.

That's interesting though.

There is a theory that mention of Job in that particular passage is a misspeaking for Joseph. Job is only my interpretation. I should have made that clear, but at any rate this whole item is purely a small thought I had while investigating something quite different.
