Draft talk:Outline of God

Brief explanation of Wikipedia outlines
Outlines are a type of list article. Each outline is about the subject identified after "Outline of" in the title. "Outline" refers to the format of the article...

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). In Wikipedia outlines, the hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets.

Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure). They also serve as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 17:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

What type of thing is God?
We ought to also include discussion about God's "thingness", i.e. views that reject the idea that the Lord can be taken as an object. Thoughts? Kakurokuna (talk) 16:57, 10 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure exactly what you mean, can you provide an example? Madeleinesinging (talk) 17:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about the "non-physical entity" characteristic. Many polytheistic belief systems (which we mention in the introduction) have gods which exist squarely in the physical realm.

On publication
The list of publication has already(rightly so) been marked as awkward in comments. Instead of listing by religious affiliations, maybe list by Scriptures, Sociology,Theology, ect. Corvus poe (talk) 09:18, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
