Talk:Shinto

Why not Shintoism? So, for the record, Shinto means "way of the shin". "ism" is a suffix that means "the practice of" "the doctrine of" or the system of. (dictionary. reference.com). "shintoism" is in effect saying "The doctrine of the system of shin", which is pretty redundant. In case anyone cares about Japanese, English grammar, or Religious Studies. :-) --Godot   The Peyote God awaits 15:01, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

@WFG, BON is right
"the basic tenants of Shinto are compatible with any other belief system, other than those that are incompatible with it, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, obviously" - clearly, Shinto is incompatible with mainstream/traditional Judaism, Christianity, Islam. Shinto is basically polytheistic, those religions historically exclusively monotheistic. Now, no doubt about it, one could have a liberal Christianity, for instance, with which Shinto would be compatible. But it's not with the bulk of traditional Christianity, and saying its compatible with Christianity without qualification is misleading. As BON said, compatibility is commutative (for A to be compatible with B, B must also be compatible with A) 02:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Nothing about kegare? Really?!?
I'm rather disappointed in there being no mentions of in this article. Maybe it's because I'm a bit of a Touhou nerd, particularly on the Lunarians, and the workings of kegare are quite important to the plots of a few of the games (most notably Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom), but I was under the impression that kegare and how to remove it were pretty big deals in Shinto. --Luigifan18 (talk) 02:03, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
