Talk:Divine (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On another page, I read:

Edward Fowler (1632 - August 26, 1714), English divine...

What is a "divine"? This page should tell us! (and much of the current material could perhaps be cut) -- Tarquin 16:44, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Good question. The problem here is that wikipedia has many articles imported from the 1911 Britannica without the terminology being updated. The meaning when describing a person is a cleric or priest - see Divine (noun).--JBellis 20:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] fictional religion of Wayism worships

What is wayism and why is it included on this page. Who or what is a Pictureuploader. Can this reference be removed?

'wayism' (if I have the reference correct) has come up on a couple of different science fiction TV shows (most recently "Andromeda") and is usually some riff on new age/taoist beliefs. the word 'tao' translates as 'the way', and the word itself - if not the actual philosophy behind it - has been translated over into mainstream new age thinking. this can certainly be removed, along with the reference to Divine (the transvestite entertainer), and when I integrate this into the divinity section (assuming it meets no opposition) I can do that.

'pictureuploader' I don't see - that might be some Wiki specific thing going on. where on the page are you finding that?Ted 22:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

since the content on this page is quite sparse (and either overlaps what is on the divinity page, or is mere disambiguation, I've decided to simply redirect this page over to Divinity. I don't see any loss in that move. disagreements?

I agree completely. Gflores^Talk 19:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Agree.--Commander Keane 07:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well. I think I'll be bold and do this. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 03:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I am wondering about this word, could it be derived from the idea that something or someone is divine, meaning that they are "of the vine" or what Carl Jung called "the rizome" meaning that which attaches like an umbilical cord to "God-energy" ? What say you?
