should these bits really be in this article?
[edit]I propose we should delete these (which are currently in the article):
- The word theodism, a neologism for a branch of Germanic neopaganism, is based on the Gothic form of the word,[citation needed] where þiudisko also took on the meaning of "pagan",[1] a Judeo-Christian calque on similar formations such as "Gentile" from Latin gens ("people") and Hebrew goy, i.e. "belonging to (other) peoples". Proto-Slavic similarly borrowed the word as *ťuďь with the meaning "foreign", giving rise, for example, to modern Polish cudzy, Czech cizí, Serbo-Croat tuđi and Russian чужой.
- The term must not be confounded with theodicy (from Ancient Greek θεός theos, "god" and δίκη dikē, "justice"), which, despite its phonetic resemblance, does not share any etymological origin and refers to an argument in the philosophy of religion that attempts to resolve the question of evil.

[edit]I propose this article should be Theodiscus and Teutonicus. The two medieval Latin versions of these terms are a set of two, and always discussed together. I've been working on the second one here already because it has no other home. Andrew Lancaster (talk) 19:36, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
