Talk:Post-theism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It doesn't seem reasonable to suggest merging this page without providing an explanation. Here is why I'm opposed:

The term postchristianity assumes the chauvinistic western perspective that post-theistic means post-christian as if there were no other theistic religion besides christianity and is thus an inappropriate term for what is in fact post-theism.

It might make sense to rename the postchristianity article and merge the two pages, but the reverse is an unacceptable in accordance with WP:NPOV. Mmyotis (talk) 22:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

yes. you may note that I haven't merely "suggested a merge", I have created this article in the first place. If and which way we should merge here will depend entirely on what sources we can come up with. Merging shouldn't be based on logical hierarchy but on notabilitly. "Post-christian" gets 360,000 google hits while "post-theistic" gets a mere 1,000 google hits, so I suppose if anything is merged, it will be this article here. Your reference to "chauvinism" and NPOV is completely misplaced. The idea of "post-theism" happens to have emerged in "post-Christian" (not "post-Islamic" or "post-Hindu") society, and observing this fact has nothing chauvinistic about it. dab (𒁳) 19:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] God is dead movement

Should there be some mention here of the God is Dead movement? That seems to be post-theism in a nutshell (see God_is_dead#Death_of_God_theological_movement) Kristamaranatha (talk) 02:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
