I asked this in another section, but: are summum bonum and eutheism really the same thing? Eutheism is simply the belief that God exists and is good. Summum bonum says so much more about God than that, and is far more encompassing. Eutheism seems to redirect here, perhaps that is a mistake. I wouldn't take eutheism for granted, my opinion is that it is something separate from this, less rigid, but definitely a belief set on its own.

I know. I simply redirected Eutheism here for lack of another article. It's a "Redirect with possibilities" (check the Eutheism page). dab 08:44, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC) --- I thought the term was Latin, and was a Roman translation of a Greek philosophical concept dating to Socrates. Wouldn't that predate St. Augustine?Drernie 00:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Factual accuracy

I added this template because of the February 2006 edits adding Zoroastrianism and general Persian promotion. I don't know enough about the subject to tell whether Ahura-Mazda is portrayed that way, and I know there's debate about how much his teachings influenced Christianity.
