Collogue:Releegion

Juist takin a keek at the first sentence A think it is no NPOV. Monie fowks is turnt tae christianity alang wi ither releegions, A jalouse, acause o miracles. That shuid be includit... Nou Uiserr

Heh, thon's interestin. As an atheist A thocht the first sentence wisna NPOV aither, but A wis leukin at it frae the ither side -- it assumes that there dis exist things that isna explainable bi scieence.

We obviously hae a problem gin we baith think it's POV ;-) An aye, the important pynt anent miracles needs makkin. Onie volunteers tae chynge it? A wad dae it masel but as a ravin secularist A didna think A wad actually help the POV problem onie. Mendor 17:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Dis scientists aye need machines for tae study?

Whit for is the g in fause gods wee an in God dooble? Is no aw Gods fause?

Ye a'maist gat me tae sae no aa gods is fause, no quite tho, acause God isna fause juist the ithers. Nou Uiserr

Whaur's the evidence that pruives the God ane isna fause?

Nae need for a releigious debate. We'r juist here tae write an airticle, nae to settle whether God exists or no. -- Derek Ross 05:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Juist pyntin oot that airticles shoud be based on estaiblisht facts an no supersteetion.

Ahh but gin it's aboot "supersteetion" shuid ye no tauk aboot it? Nou Uiserr

Guid pynt that man.

On anither pynt, A thocht A wis bein cliver pittin in the bit anent the scientífic method at the top (dichtin the "machines" bit), but the mair A leuk at thon first sentence the mair it leuks like a definítion o "philosophie" raither nor "relígion". The ideas o faith an/or miracles aiblins haes tae be mentioned, but A dinna think A'm the man tae dae it -- this isna ma area o expertise. Mendor 23:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

PS Ar we shuir Voodoo isna a relígion? Whit is it gin it isna?

PPS No shuir Catholicism shuid be in the leet gin Christianity is aareadies thare. Mibbe ye cuid pit it (alang wi Protestantism, Presbyterianism, Aestren Orthodox Kirk...) doun an ae level indentit frae Christianity, like this:

• Christianity
  • Aestren Orthodox Kirk
  • Catholicism
  • Presbyterianism
  • Protestantism
• Islam
  • Sunni
  • Shia

an sae furth, but thon micht get a bit ower lairge, lippenin on hou monie denominations ye pit in for ilka relígion.

Yea yer richt mebbie a'll dae that. An A'll pit Voodoo back gin a bodie shaws me it is. Nou Uiserr

Shuirly its uptae thaim that cries thair releegion Jedi tae decide wither or no its a releegion?

Voodoo is applee'd tae the brainches o a Wast African ancestor-based speeritist-ainimist releegious tradeetion.

Hou ye daein? A'm cuirious why thare's nae mention o Haithenrie, Paganism, an/or Neo-Paganism in the leet o releegions gien. Aaricht, A reckon nane o thae wirds applees tae an aesome releegion (an tae be preceese, Haithen thocht shuid be cryed as "Sacred Tradeetion" lief nor "releegion," sin it canna be sindert frae the wider cultur o whit it's a pairt), but onie airticle at talks abute "releegion" ocht tae include sic categories, wad youse no gree?

A juist see'd at "Wicca" is gien in the leet (A dinna tak tent o thon afore). Gif "Wicca" desers mention, shuirlie "Druidry" an "Celtic Haithen Sacred Tradeetion" (twa different hings, mind) daes an aw. Syne the crack maun include ither sic hings, like Ásatrú, Religio Romana, Neo-Wicca (maistlie an American oncome, but spreidin), Kemetism, an that, an maist o the fouk wha is no Wiccan wull no prize bein clessifeed aneath a categorie cryed "Wicca" (deed, maist Haithens wull likelie be struntit).

Weel, there's nae mony o ays here! Ah've duin a wee bittie on releegion, bit it's no somethin Ah'm interestit in. bit gin ye want tae redd the airticles up, gaun yersel! D'ye ken whit wey tae add new airticles n that? Bazza 14:01, 4 Julie 2007 (UTC)

Hullo, Bazza. A'v niver duin sic afore, but A'v juist haen a keek at the Help pages an it daesna leuk ower fashous, tho A micht want a bittie help whiles. Croman mac Nise / Crommán mac Nessa 23:39, 4 Julie 2007 (UTC)

Aaricht, A'v stairtit a page on John Smeaton (pairtlie acause it shuid hae been stairtit, an pairtlie tae see hou tae stairt a page), sae A reckon A'm able tae dae it, but belike A'll yit want a bittie help whiles. Croman mac Nise / Crommán mac Nessa 01:08, 5 Julie 2007 (UTC)

Whit wad youse hink abute clessifeein Christianitie, Islam, an Judaism aa aneath a categorie cryed "Abrahamic"? Or mibbe a categorie cryed "Monotheistic" (tho sic a categorie as thon micht include ither releegions nor the Abrahamic anes alane). It's time fir the sibness atween thae three tae be admeetit (an cryin thaim aa "Abrahamic" shuid gar a bodie tae conseeder at sibness richtlie). In aither gait ("Abrahamic" or "Monotheistic"), A jalouse "Unitarian Universalism" shuid be pit intae that categorie an aw (an likely aneath "Christianity," tae be preceese), mauger thair greater inclusiveness nor ither Christian (an ither Abrahamic/Monotheistic) sects. A propone sic a hing acause introducin a categorie like "Haithenrie, Paganism, an Neo-Paganism" wull be eikin an umberellae name fir monie releegions at haes a wheen common featurs, but at haes monie differs an aw (even ane o thir wirds, like "Paganism," wad yit hae sic a quirk), an gif thay can be thrawn thegither mauger thair monie differs, syne shuirlie the three Abrahamic releegions can be subjectit tae the same treatment. Syne we micht conseeder pittin Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, an Jainism aneath yit anither sic umberellae categorie (oniebodie ettlin efter proponin a name fir thon?).
