Scripture:Main Page

=Scripture Wiki= This area of Issuepedia is for documentation and analysis of works of scripture, i.e. documents which form the basis for any system of belief. The major reason for doing this is to prevent scripture abuse, i.e. using scriptural works to make harmful and inaccurate claims about reality.

It is separate from the main area because within that area, which is reality-based, an argument solely from scripture would be an argument from authority and hence essentially invalid. Within the Scripture area, however, such arguments help to elucidate the meaning and intent of scriptural works.

To Do
There's a lot of set-up work to do.
 * Need logo Since this is now part of Issuepedia, we'll just use the Issuepedia logo -- though a separate logo would be nice (not sure how easy it is to get MediaWiki to display a separate logo per namespace, though) and some namespace customization would be good too. But we haven't yet come across any good images to use.
 * Transcribe enough Genesis (or other sample) to get an idea of how to standardize things

done

 * 2008-05-31 Moved to "Scripture:" namespace within Issuepedia (was at scripture.issuepedia.org; eventually, would be nice if that domain still brought up this page)
 * 2008-01-28 Install anti-spam extension

Pages
Some early pages:
 * Scripture:Bible
 * Scripture:Muhammad
 * Scripture:Positions: official religious organizational positions on various scriptural works
