Don't be ridiculous. You can't possibly know whether Mary veiled for the same reason as today's Muslim women, and I doubt you know much about nuns either. Nor do the creators of that sign. Even your own words above betray you, when you talk about how women veil for "various reasons". When you find proof positive of Mary's personal reasons for veiling 2000 years ago, then come back here and talk to us.

On the other hand, the texts of the two holy books are plain. Nobody has to fake expertise when they can simply read the texts.

You, however, seem to support fakers who claim, with no apparent first-hand knowledge or experience, to know what Mary and nuns are thinking.

No one can really know anything about why anyone does things and what anyone thinks, especially imaginary religious figures.  We don't know why today's Muslim women veil because every woman has her own reasons.  The hadith don't tell us WHY she has to cover, just that she has to.  The why is up to her.

The words "accuracy" and "proof" do not apply to the field of religious thought.  It's all a claim.  That's what the billboard is.  Could they have veiled for the same reason? Who knows, maybe someone can make that argument. Can anyone say with 100% accuracy that they DIDN'T?   No.  Because it's a field of smoke and mirrors, and legends and stories and pretend people.[/quote]
