Talk:Deathbed conversion

message: :"Unless supported by evidence, these stories are almost invariably false and created to lend credence to one's own religious beliefs"
*Well, yes, the ones not supported by evidence are often false, but what about the ones that are? Are we supposed to restrict this article to false claims of deathbed conversions?  Is there a non-POV-pushing reason for this article? Why shouldn't this material just go into the respective articles for each person? Djcastel 18:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Wouldn't the words "Father, Father why have you forsaken me?" indicate the possibility that Christ himself converted away from Judaism on his deathbed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.240.134.230 (talk) 16:09, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The main article on Voltaire shows that his last words were "For God's sake, please let me die in peace", but this article quotes it as "This is no time to be making new enemies."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.148.38.225 (talk) 18:26, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's all a bit apocryphal. Well spotted though.
An more correct translation of his famous words "Eli, Eli, lamá sabactâni?" is: "Father, father, why glorifies me so much?". It's the speach of a type of initiate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.76.238.152 (talk) 22:29, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The paragraph describing the "disputed claim" of Sartre's deathbed conversion specifically states that it wasn't a deathbed conversion, and was actually just an expression of interest in the "ethical and metaphysical character of the Jewish religion...".
Either this paragraph is biased in it's statement that his position is clear and needs to be rewritten or Sartre should be placed under the "Disproven" header. ThsTorturedSoul (talk) 20:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I've removed the NPOV template, please use  for sections or  for sentences, then detail issues here. This will help address them in a timely manner. On the matter of this being a POV fork, I disagree. If one is so inclined, individual stories can be summarized and redirected to the sections of those people; however, this article is the logical place to link to from deathbed and other articles. - RoyBoy 02:55, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

message: "He never recanted any of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A. The whole story has no foundation whatever.and was almost centennially made up on wikipidea."
