Request for your aid dealing with actions from a user against Religious, Spiritual and Esoteric articles
[edit]User:Baphomet. is damaging Wikipedia: he his trying to label Religious articles as Superstition (from a POV view of positivism, that he calls Science). At the article Reincarnation he just went on to add to category "Superstition" and later on without discussion put a POV msg in the article. Please see the discussion page between both of us Talk:Reincarnation#Superstition.
Through the use of a Culture created by extremism in Science, he is clearly trying to do the job that the Inquisition did in the Middle Ages in a Culture created by extremism in Religion. He is damaging Wikipedia in a subtle invious way!

- I am going to place this in thecategory myself and to forestall complaints, the main astrology article clearly states: "The generally established opinion of the scientific community is that astrology is superstition, with no actual predictive ability." And not just scientists: astrology is widely considered a superstition by many lay people as well as by Christian and and Islamic doctrine (though the former has had an ambiguous relationship with it).
- Note the definition of superstition: "An irrational belief that an object, action, or circumstance not logically related to a course of events influences its outcome" [1] (Wiki is close in its description). Superstitions deal first and foremost with causality. And that, of course, is what Astrology is all about. The category is entirely appropriate.
- With others, I am more ambivalent. Belief in a God certainly should not be labelled superstition as it's been no more falsified than it has been proven. Reincarnation, I suppose, I'd place somewhere in-between. Marskell 16:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
