The concept of "religion" was formed in the 16th and 17th centuries.[3][4] Sacred texts like the Bible, the Quran, and others did not have a word or even a concept of religion in the original languages and neither did the people or the cultures in which these sacred texts were written.[5][6]

The above is incorrect as religion concept was from the beginning. Men walked with God. Just because the texts weren't found or written doesn't mean the word wasn't handed down from generation to generation . Abrahamic religions are the belief of God the father. God of Abraham. We are descendants of Adam who was made from God. It's not a debate it's a fact. Mct0321 (talk) 01:42, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the things you are saying are more appropriate for the regular social media. Drmies (talk) 01:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling of the name of the Siberian shaman

The name "Budazhap Shiretorov" is actually "Будажап Ширеторов," but not "Будажап Цыреторов," (Budazhap Tsyretorov) as it is spelled in the photo description of the Siberian shaman in the definition content. Михайло Сніжко (talk) 02:51, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete List like Apollonian, Liberty, Iustutia, Aphrodite or Nemesis Dysfaiths

Most male Jerkoffs are more or less native followers of Aphrodite, sometimes Persephone for Nerdies, Athene for Warmongers, Iustitia if abused, Nemesis if Iustitia is killed by abrahamitic nazirites insurgency lawyers.

Iconographic practical gods are a mental stabilizing paragon religion, with less affords in success of the religion as snowball panzi system, but in fulfilling the duties of the particular task in perception of the gods as intrinsic imanations.

Abrahamitic terror is based on the negation of other divinities or guilds, never the less they are religions in self sacrifice to the tasks given, to serve the absolute evil of survival against the traitor god. destructor of the social gods or the Panthea. 84.154.113.194 (talk) 13:56, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
