Talk:Calormene religion

Seeing as we voted to delete Narnian Christianity, perhaps we should delete its equally conjectural Calormene equivalent. Wolfdog: Narnia Wiki administrator 02:10, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say I'd disagree. While the Narnian centring of Aslan is never explicitly Christian, and we have no evidence of any formal religion like that at all, the Calormene religion is referenced quite clearly. However, though the Calormene religion could be called Paganism, as Pagan is generally anything non-Christian, then it is not really a suitable term here (Narnia having no Christianity to compare against). Hence, I would recommend the keeping of this article, but having it renamed as 'Calormene Religion', 'Calormene Polytheism' or something equivalent. Poggin 10:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Wolfdog, it should go. All this information could go under Calormenes and/or Tash.  Some of it is purely speculative, anyway, and shouldn't be there at all. Rain Thalo 14:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd dispute that - what is speculative? What is mentioned in the trivia is true - this is a widespread opinion. As well as this, there are other gods that the Calormenes believe in (eg Zardeenah) that are important to their religion, and could not go under Tash. I would say, if we are looking to expand the wiki, this is a perfectly valid article to keep alongside one about the Calormenes as a people, and it is certainly an article that can be expanded upon.

 * I wasn't talking about the trivia, though it does call itself speculation, but whatever. Still, that could go on the Calormenes page.  I was mainly thinking of the turban line.  That could be mentioned under Calormenes in genral, you cannot argue that it is unnecessary speculation (okay, I suppose you could argue it, if you wanted to).  Yes, we know they were pagan, but I only know of the name of one god, Tash.  If you can show me a place where Lewis named any of the other gods, I'll shut up and you can keep it, though I recommend that you do change the name to Calormene Religion or something a bit more general.

 * Zardeenah was one other god mentioned, by Aravis when she tells her story in The Horse and His Boy. Poggin 21:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay then, I guess it's all good now. Rain Thalo 15:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
