Wikipedia is communal

Maybe take a look at Articles for Creation

I Love Jesus but I have also want to say that Wikipedia is propagating White-Christian Supremacy.Wikipedia should also publish articles on the role of Hindus/Muslims/Sikhs/Jews/Africans in civilization. Thank you ShikaDikaMika (talk) 11:41, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That is one way to do it, another would be to back off the stridency of this article and cover the contributions of religion to civilization within out coverage of civilization (or civilizations if one prefers). Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:52, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"the contributions of religion to civilization" Do you mean the European wars of religion and the associated massacres? Dimadick (talk) 22:30, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Civilization" or "Western civilization"?

The article appears to conflate "civilization" and "Western society"; the only exception to this being a section on the Islamic world tacked onto the end. Per WP:GLOBALIZE, this should be rectified or the article should be moved to a narrower title (if the latter takes place, the section on the Islamic world may need to be split). – Scyrme (talk) 18:02, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, this article as currently constructed is a mess... It does appear to in large part take the white supremacist viewpoint that civilization = western civilization. Whether this is the result bigotry on the part of editors or just an accident which nobody intended is unclear. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:39, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This whole essay is just shite--it's an essay, for starters, as signaled by the "throughout" in the opening sentences. Moving it to "...Western society", in agreement with the opening sentence, would be a good move. Deleting it would be an even better move. Scyrme, Horse Eye's Back, I feel a move might be happening, but I'd propose "Western society" rather than "Western civilization", because the latter is typically one of these bland sophomoric generalizations. Drmies (talk) 16:42, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say Role of Christianity in Western culture but honestly thats basically Western culture because theres barely anything pre-Christian or non-Christian in there... That article barely even touches on Jewish contributions to Western culture, it is for all intents an purposes already a Role of Christianity in Western culture article.

The Talmud says Jesus was executed by the Hasmonean government who stone and hang him and that his punishment is to boil

Perhaps someone could double check this?

"The Talmud says Jesus was executed by the Hasmonean government who stone and hang him and that his punishment is to boil in human excrements for eternity for sorcery and for leading the people into apostasy. " 24.87.2.138 (talk) 09:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
