Talk:Vegetarianism and religion

Faithist/Oahspe section
I've never heard of this, and among the other religions listed, it seems very obscure (not notable.) I tried using tags for about 20 minutes but I'm bad at wikipedia, so I'm just leaving this note here. 'Creativity' movement may also be not notable, but I've heard of that. Sorry guys, I'm usually just a copy editor and I'm not experienced with adding tags to articles. Mercster (talk) 18:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

So-called 'new religions'
How will we address nontraditionalist topics in 'cultish' (or) new religions? Even Scientology had a vegetarian and vegan phalanx (it was a minority). Back-to-the-land 'movements' had their historic 'themes' in traditional faith traditions, but they were not accountable to their primary normativities.

Eschatology
Don't the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), PLUS the Bahá'í Faith envision vegetarianism as desirable and as an eventual global practice among all humanity (in the best possible world yet to come). Should there not be a scholarly handling of this topic in general, since it IS a 'topic in ecumenism'?

Faxian quote

, which discussion were you referring to in this edit? Even though WP:RAJ is for much later sources, all the concerns so eloquently expressed there are applicable to Faxian as well. Hemantha (talk) 12:24, 8 May 2022 (UTC) Blocked sock
 * Hi, Hemantha. It's here: . I should've mentioned it in the summary perhaps. Sorry about that. Coming to the concern that you raised, the case of Faxian, in my opinion, is different from that of the WP:RAJ sources in at least two distinct ways: one, unlike the RAJ sources who were either part of the Raj administrators or part of the subjects, Faxian was a disinterested traveler/observer from another nation who visited India. Two, while WP:RAJ is for the appropriateness, or lack thereof, of citing Raj ethnographic sources to support a viewpoint, the use of Faxian quote is to indicate Faxian's view itself (i.e., how an ancient traveler perceived things back then regardless of the precision of his observations). It simply quotes Faxian as saying it without any attempt to prove the validity of the point. Thus, despite its closeness, it doesn't relate to WP:RAJ but fall under WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV and WP:MNA.

I went to add all the vegetarian religions that are missing from the Religious restrictions on the consumption of pork page and I was basically starting to replicate this page over there. That page should be folded into this page. "Pigs" can be a sub-category in the relevant religious sections.

I am not a wiki user so if there is a special wiki process that needs to happen, can you, dear reader, please start that? Thanks! 73.170.203.143 (talk) 18:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
