 :Aah, what consensus was that? Perhaps you could explain the reasons why an article on mythology can't have the myth box (to explain it clearly to people like yourself) and use the term ""mythology"" to clearly differentiate it from ""historical account"". Can you read the definition in the myth box and explain to me why this article (in the interests of neutrality you claim to want) cannot use your ""forbidden word"". Christians can believe whatever they want, just as those who believe greek mythology is not mythology. The myth box is there to clear this up, that's why I put it in there. 
 :The pope also believes that condom usage is evil and dying from HIV/AIDS is preferable. His views are not the only ones (he thinks that catholicism is the one true religion, putting him at odds with every other religion and thus the majority of the world..) and I'm sorry, but this article IS about a mythological story. Do you dispute that this story is mythological as per the definition? Do you not think that the myth box clears this up? 
 :The role of wikipedia is not to avoid terms that a small percentage might find offensive because of their fundamentalist interpretations of the bible. The expression ""call a spade a spade and a shovel a shovel"" springs to mind. Without making it clear the origins of this tale: you risk confusing those who might read the content without a knowledge of christianity and genesis's origins from earlier folklore.    "
