Template talk:Belief systems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Since when is it NPOV to characterize agnosticism and atheism as belief systems?
  • A more appropriate title might be: Positions on Existence of Deities OR Theological Positions
  • not sure monism should be here either--JimWae 00:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
  • left as belief systems it should include MATERIALISM, SPIRITUALISM, COMMUNISM, CAPITALISM,... --JimWae 01:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
    • For Positions on Existence of Deities there are really only three positions, 'yes,' 'no,' and 'don't know'.... Theological Positions is better, but I worry that it will lose the distinction that some of these are truly Deological or Antitheological.... Theories on the Existence of Deities? Also, not Communism or Capitalism, this is intended for religion/spiritual beliefs!! //// Pacific PanDeist * 23:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
      • would "Spiritual Belief Systems" or something along the lines of "Metaphysical Positions" work maybe? Coda littleking 22:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
  • These are (or should be?) all about deities - their existence & their "nature". Theology (literally study of God) works for me, though some generalize theology beyond that. One thing for sure "belief systems" does not work - because some of the positions (such as atheism) are not necessarily a system of belief, and many belief systems (eg communism) are excluded from the template. --JimWae 23:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Ok, I made it "Beliefs about the nature of the divine" - obviously an improvement, but nothing's perfect, right? //// Pacific PanDeist * 04:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
