Rename
- "God and religion" seems redundant. Perhaps "Faith and religion" or just "Faith?" (Admin 12:42, 18 March 2007 (EDT))
- I don't mind "God and religion", since they're not necessarily the same. Take the references to Kali in Monsters, for instance. But "faith" is fine, too. Doesn't really matter to me.... — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:27, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
- I dunno. I can kind of see Admin's point. I mean, Kali is both a god and the subject of a religion, right? I just like "God and religion" because it abbreviates to Gn'R, but that's admittedly not really a reason to keep it where it is.--Hardvice (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
- God is a part of some religions, but not necessarily all. Plus a religion is mostly a specific institution whereas faith is more abstract. I think the article could cover more material changed to "Faith and religion." For instance if one of the characters mentions a "higher power" without actually calling that power God then it wouldn't be accurate to assume that's what they're referring to. (Admin 14:41, 18 March 2007 (EDT))
- Good point. Yeah, "faith" is fine with me ... unless Candace's nickname ever pops up. :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2007 (EDT)
- Yeah, that's why afterwards I didn't want to just go with Faith. Instant disambig right there. heh. But I do believe "Faith and religion" covers nicely the intention of the article and is not too unintentionally specific in its title. (Admin 14:45, 18 March 2007 (EDT))
- That's fine. Let's go for it. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:15, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Corinthian Casino
- This is a good note, but the way it's worded right now makes it sound like the use of "Corinthian" instead of "Corinth" is necessarily meaningful, which it isn't. "Corinthian" is just an adjective meaning "from Corinth". In fact, my guess is that the whole casino is meant to be a nod to the "Venetian" (not "Venice") Casino in real-world Las Vegas, a similarly gawdawful casino which does to poor Venice what the Corinthian appears from its website to do to Corinth. I'm not sure exactly how to reword it to be less speculative, but we should be noting the coincidence, not implying a connection.--Hardvice (talk) 17:23, 23 March 2007 (EDT)
