Talk: Satan

Mythical[]

Since creation, a single word in this article has been a repeated target of vandalism.

The wikipedia article for mythical says:

Myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths. Since the term myth is widely used to imply that a story is not objectively true, the identification of a narrative as a myth can be highly controversial: many adherents of religions view their own religion's stories as true, and therefore object to those stories being characterized as myths, while seeing the stories of other religions as being myth. As such, some scholars label all religious narratives as myths for practical reasons, such as to avoid depreciating any one tradition because cultures interpret each other differently relative to one another.

The wikipedia article Satan says "Satan's appearance is never described in the Bible", so clearly, the Saints Row character is based on more than just the character in the christian bible, and the term "biblical" is inaccurate.

Christian mythology is more than just the bible, and Satan is a character in more than just the christian bible.

The appropriate neutral word to describe the concept of "Satan" is "mythical".

An alternate word that some people might use would be "fictional", but all of the edits changing the word "mythical" have been biased in a single direction. Funny how some people always have a problem with neutral words being used instead of their biased terms.
