"According to Christian beliefs"
edit@Richardw: the reason I didn't include a phrase like "according to Christian beliefs" in the intro here is that pretty much all historians (including non-religious ones) agree that a Jewish preacher named Jesus existed and was crucified by the Roman authorities (see the intro at historical Jesus). So we can take as fact that there was a cross, even if we don't agree that it was holy. Does that make sense to you?—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 01:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- It does, and I did think about that before adding it. The sources provided for the phrase 'the vast majority' in the historical Jesus-article state
- [5]: as virtually every competent scholar of antiquity, Christian or non-Christian, agrees
- [6]: Robert M. Price (an atheist who denies the existence of Jesus)
- [7]: no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus or at any rate very few
- [8]: There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church’s imagination
- Although these sources all agree on the fact that the non-believers are a minority, they also agree that there is such a minority. That being said, I don't think this disambiguation page will be any less usefull if that particular phrase is not present. Richard 06:41, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
@Richardw: That makes sense; thanks for explaining your perspective. I would be okay with leaving it in, since I agree it doesn't make much difference, but since you've taken it out I will happily accept that :)—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 17:28, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Tenerife, continent
editTenerife is part of the African Tectonic Plate, but the article lists Santa Cruz de la Palma in Tenerife as part of Europe because... idek, I guess because white Spaniards colonised the Canaries and largely exterminated the indigenous peoples? I guess Australia and most of the Americas are part of Europe too 2A00:23C5:1203:CE01:5839:7178:EA6D:C6C6 (talk) 01:48, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- I admit that listing Tenerife under Europe is confusing, however I guess that including it in Africa would be even more confusing. --Jotamar (talk) 23:47, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
