2003-2004 discussion
I have tried to expand the bit on Judaism a bit. Someone better informed than me about Judaism specifically might want to change and add more information to that section.
Does Islam have a doctrine of atonement, specifically? This might be another useful addition here. ---Ihcoyc
Wouldn't it be better to move all this material to the article on sin? These two topics (sin and atonement) really should be discussed together. We could then redirect this title to sin. RK
- I began an article on atonement here because "atonement" showed up in a list of requested articles. It probably does make sense to treat them together. ---Ihcoyc
- I object to the merging of these two articles Sin and Atonement. While these two subjects may go hand in hand with each other (maybe even more so for Judaism), these subjects also go hand in hand with many other religious subjects. And other Wikipedia article-subjects also go hand in hand with other article-subjects, but Wikipedia generally doesn't merge articles merely because they go hand in hand. There needs to be a compelling reason demonstrated first why subjects each with their own unique concepts should be merged before they actually are merged. That has not been done. I could agree that maybe a separate article called Sin and Atonement is needed IN ADDITION to articles for each subject, but as it is, even the Sin article is not properly titled for its subject matter!

I object to merging because I now have a problem with article on ACIM. I will remove the redirect.Andries 21:34, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Attention
This article needs attention. There is much which can be borrowed from the pages Substitutionary atonement and Atonement (Governmental view), but other theories need elucidation...such as the Ransom theory, for starters. This is obviously an important topic. I'd be happy to expand the article, but thought I'd invite others to participate as well. Any takers? Thoughts? KHM03 23:35, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
