I believe that God in Abrahamic religions is preferable because it conforms to the pattern set by the series of articles that includes God in Buddhism and God in Islam.

That this section is longer than the section on Christianity is a pretty severe case of undue weight. DJ Clayworth ( talk) 23:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
As that section currently exists in the article, but was not under Christianity, made modifications so that it was. — Asterisk * Splat → 18:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Why is "god" capitalized in this article? Is Wikipedia taking sides here? ≡ CUSH ≡ 08:22, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I find this rather difficult to defend. I tried to compile material relevant to the actual topic, i.e. the development of common "Abrahamic" traits in the monotheism of Late Antiquity. No reason for the removal was given in the edit summary. Unless some coherent rationale can be given to defend this, I will restore the pertinent material. -- dab (𒁳) 12:31, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I just realize this was the account's first edit. So I am assuming sockpuppetry & reverting. -- dab (𒁳) 12:31, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
In at least the Christian parts of the article, shouldn't "he" and "him" be "He" and "Him" when referring to God? I'm talking about English usage rules here, not faith or its lack. Tim Bray ( talk) 07:25, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
As a fairly novice dabbler in theology, I may be wrong, but I think that "God is conceived of as eternal, omnipotent, omniscient and as the creator of the universe" contradicts most of, shall we say, mainstream understanding of the Abrahamic god. I'd like to see some sources regarding this claim. 89.160.243.36 ( talk) 22:35, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
IP vandal mimicking Manafeistlanguage's disruptive edits, which was indefinitely blocked yesterday for the same disruptive behavior on multiple religion-related articles, did you read the reliable sources cited throughout the article before starting your ridiculous edit warring? No, you didn't. Because the cited academic reference explicitly states that the Bahai Faith and Rastafarianism ARE Abrahamic religions: [1]
When people refer to the Abrahamic religions they are usually thinking of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. There are, in fact, more Abrahamic religions, such as the Baha’i Faith, Yezidi, Druze, Samaritan and Rastafari [1]

IP vandal mimicking Manafeistlanguage's disruptive edits, which was indefinitely blocked yesterday for the same disruptive behavior on multiple religion-related articles, do you know what Wikipedia is or not? Because your persistent edit warring and disruptive behavior clearly demonstrates that you are not here to build an encyclopedia, and you're not fooling anyone ( [1], [2], [3]). Btw, the sourced content that I restored on this article hasn't been reverted by "multiple different editors" as you claim; it's only you, ONE vandal, with different IP addresses, and ONE user indefinitely blocked yesterday for the exact same reason. GenoV84 ( talk) 18:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
False Abrahamic religions, but rather that the claim that all Abrahamic religions are of ancient, Semitic, and Middle Eastern origin is false, which is precisely upheld by the direct quote you give above. I suggest you both desist and rethink the approach, and GenoV84, i think you would do well to re-examine your argument. Happy days ~ Lindsay H ello 19:37, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
