Talk:Faith and religion
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.

- 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)
