editI 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)

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)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
edit"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). 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), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
