[edit] Incomprehensible jargon
I am a non-religious person and often visit Wikipedia to read about Christian history. Maybe it's because I know so little, but there is so much I would like to learn and I get excited when I see something I know nothing about.
But having read a great of the entries on Christianity, I must say that I am disappointed with much of the writing I see. For one, just about all the entries, anything having to do with the church, are just too incomprehensible for an ordinary layperson like myself. I am just compelled to ask: Just who are these entries intended for? Christians for fellow christians? Too many of the entries seem written by the same person. They all sound the same and all sound equally ambiguous.
I think this is unfortunate. I would like to educate myself. While not perfect, Wikipedia can be a powerful tool for academic knowledge and a useful source of information.
If the writer of entries like "christianity," "reformation," or what's the other one... "Holy Spirit," is reading this, please see if you can make them more accessible to an uneducated reader like me. I am eager to learn about what you have to say, but it's got to be in words that are understandable for us non-believers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Douglask (talk • contribs)
