Devil worship is incorrect term

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Devil worship is an incorrect term that gets used frequently . It should be Spirit worship . This confusion primarily comes up due to word "Butha" being used for ghosts and spirits. source - http://www.shastriyakannada.org/DataBase/KannwordHTMLS/CLASSICAL%20KANNADA%20RELIGION%20HTML/BHUTHARADHANE%20HTML.htm https://www.deccanherald.com/content/469784/invoking-guardian-spirits-coastal-karnataka.html

I am getting a feeling after going through the history details, the protecting editor is being unfair and is keeping only that content that is showing the community in poor light. Sudarshan Karnad (talk) 22:11, 7 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
