Talk: Jesus Christ

Latest revision as of 18:41, 1 March 2009

I understand this is Star Trek Wiki and not Wikipedia, but shouldn't we be listing "Christ" as his title rather than his last name? It's about like listing Kahless under Unforgettable, Kahless. I'm just saying... – AT2Howell 17:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

As you say, this is not wikipedia. Why would it make a bit of difference for this wiki's purposes? --Seventy 17:25, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

The difference would be a little thing I like to call "Accuracy". It's something we might just want to strive for. Think about it, I'll be here all day. – AT2Howell 19:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Mr. Howell is right, we really should try to accurately cross-reference and categorize historical Human figures accurately to the way Human history remembers them -- and, although this is not Wikipedia, it does not change the fact the Wikipedia is a good source of information regarding history. -- Captain MKB 19:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Not history from the 22nd century and beyond though, nor how they would look back on it now, unlike say Memory Alpha, who also have the page on "Jesus Christ". Now maybe it's factually accurate that Christ is a title, but in contemporary popular usage and I don't doubt in-universe citations, Jesus Christ is used as a name. --8of5 04:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

There was the line in the article, "Time travelers have confirmed that Mary conceived Jesus through ordinary coital means, by a human father. [citation needed]" Would anyone here know where that information came from as far as a licensed source is concerned? Servo 17:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

In twenty years of reading Trek fiction and RPG materials, I've never seen a source that said that. --TimPendragon 18:41, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
