I remember that suddenly, it was discussed to remove villains form religions but I don't remember anyone voicing that they felt hurt because their religion was suddenly "under attack". no but things like the maltheism page were in poor taste, not just because of the potential controversy but the fact it was, in a way, unnecessary.. as I said, philosophies and "alternative views on a deity" fall under a whole different spectrum unsuitable for the wiki, we should definitely stick to the mainstream texts or the ones least likely to be needlessly provocative.

that means things like demonss, Satan etc are well within our rights to make articles on.. less so things like "Jesus from the viewpoint of Luciferian dogma" or "the Pope from the viewpoint of the anti-vaticans".. the "God is Evil" or similar are not suited for us, really.. it'd be like going to heroes wiki and making a Satan page there just because Luciferians worship him (and even that is vastly simplifying things.. most "satanists" don't worship the Devil, they use him to symbolism freedom and annoy orthodox religion).

anyways, to make it simple : we should only include characters specifcially writtten as being wicked and/or harmful in the official texts.. regardless of alternative views (which have many off-wiki sites, if people truly want to get into that minefield).
