I wouldlike to submit a topic. 'Acceptance of Reincarnation into Christianity' .- Many churchgoers secretly do anyway. Jondel

• Possibly, but I'm not sure that it's "basic" enough. John Carter 17:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

  Reincarnation would be a basic topic, but acceptance of reincarnation into Christianity (such as in Gnosticism) would be a subtopic of that. Userafw (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  I would say that Reincarnation in Christianity would be the appropriate page for this. By all means, if you have research and sources I say make the page. Peter Deer (talk) 20:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Juche

Can anyone tell me why this is included as a religion? John Carter 17:04, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

While I abhor it being compared to divine religion, it meets all the technical definitions of the word 'religion' itself. It has a set of beliefs concerting the nature of the world and a set of ideals and guidelines to 'moral' conduct. In essence, it takes all the trappings of religion and applies them to state ideology. If religion is the opiate of the masses, then juche is the methedone.

why is religious studies and its many subtopics completely missing? Andries (talk) 19:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
