Olga01:
Once more, I'm not dealing with religion. If we see in Bible mention of bears in Israel (I mean the story how two bears killed 42 children who were mocking the prophet Elisha,
"there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them" ), it's just as if any other ancient source mentions bears in Israel. It just gives us info about geographical distribution of bears in those times, independently of the religious matters. The religious or moral meaning of this story is quite another thing.
Same here. From this Amos prophecy we learn about fat fashion in Israel of 8th century BC. It is not about religion. It is his attitude to this fashion and these women that is about his ideas, including religious ones, but I didn't discuss this attitude. I quoted list of those details about these women that one can derive from his text as source.
I apologize for the fact I used word man, but I want to emphasize that I didn't meant "male", I just meant any person. Maybe it's obsolete practice.
If you are discussing things in a religion's Holy Book, you are discussing the religion. Same with the Quran, the Vedas, the Tripitaka, or the Book of Shadows.
And yes, saying "man" is obsolete by several centuries.
