2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Talk:Theism

From RationalWiki

Is it okay to say that most monotheists hold untenable positions such as Satan and the Trinity? That would suggest monotheists are not really monotheists or that there are no true monotheists. Perhaps using the distinction of the word "some" can provide more clarity, rather than passing a not so rational sweeping statement. It might be even better to remove this claim until we can find a source such as a survey that shows that people who claim to be monotheists also believe in other deities. — Unsigned, by: UnconventionalPhilosopher / talk / contribs

It's true that Christian fundamentalists tend to be trinitarians, though there's also some unitarian groups. Satan isn't necessarily a problem since he was originally an angel created by God, or so the popular story goes at least. Judaism and Islam usually entail 'true' monotheism, as far as I know. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 21:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
