	For managing the WP:BFDI fiasco. I'm already having a headache from answering to all those discussions and writing the FAQ. 💽 LunaEclipse 💽 🌹 ⚧ (CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST) 21:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! It's been a bit of a learning experience for me. It was a pretty good idea to create the FAQ. ObserveOwl (talk) 09:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

If you don't know what I'm talking about go to my talk page, then you'll remember.

So you're saying that stating that there's only one God is taking one side without acknowledging the other. What about the flat-earth theory? Is saying that the Earth is round siding with a belief and not acknowledging the other? There has been plenty of proof. Same thing with God. If there's no God, who made the Universe? "Oh heat and density and stuff". Then what caused that? because that's part of the universe. there's no heat without atoms. If the big bang made everything, then what caused the big bang? There has to be some sort of higher power, right? Something eternal. God. So that's cleared up. Now how do you know there's only one? Well, if God could make the entire universe, he has to be perfect. Those "gods" in other religions; well, they usually each have a few things they are mainly associated with if not only one. For example; Hindus believe Varuna is the god of water. that's one thing. Polytheistic religions usually have gods who do both bad and good things. Like how they can have affairs. God is faithful and forgiving, but he is just. He has the ten commandments: Honor your father and mother

You shall not steal

You shall not commit adultery

You shall not bear false witness

Keep the Sabbath holy

You shall not kill

Remember to keep holy the

You shall have no other gods

You shall not covet (jealousy for what's not yours)

You shall not make idols

You shall not murder

Thou shalt have no other gods

You shall not give false testimony

A lot of these are things that most people--despite religion--apply to in their day-to-day lives because it's universally accepted, like not lying or stealing. but he also says not to worship other gods. Polytheistic gods are thought to not care as long as you make a sacrifice. There you have it. Now could I please just edit in peace? it's not vandalism Getblacklisted (talk) 00:34, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@Getblacklisted: I didn't say it was vandalism! Reverts aren't just for vandalism, and I didn't say I disagree with your ideas - but Wikipedia is not for arguing between editors about what ideas they believe are more valid or not. (You can do that on the Wikidebate project on Wikiversity, outside Wikipedia.) It is just for republishing information reported by reliable sources.

Obviously yeah, Wikipedia can't present flat Earth as being as valid as spherical Earth, but that's because all reliable sources report the latter as true. But what about God? I don't think there's consensus about its existence among reliable literature. The article Figure of the Earth does not mention flat Earth outside a navigational hatnote and the "See also" section, but Existence of God#Arguments lists points from both beliefs without presenting any argument as particularly more valid than other.

So I am not going into theological arguments here, Wikipedia is not RationalWiki. This encyclopedia follows sources with fact-checking reputation and editorial oversight as explained by Wikipedia:Reliable sources. ObserveOwl (talk) 00:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
