Talk:Chinese Deity Physiology/@comment-5243280-20121107143504

Whoever changed Shangdi, please stop. Shangdi means "Lord-on-High", roughly. He is written in ancient scripture, pre-Taoist even, as the One God of Chinese Folk Religion (Shenism). He is not limited to nigh-omnipotence. Saying Shangdi has nigh-omnipotence is like saying a deity like the Christian God is only slightly all-powerful. And heaven lordship along with full-blown omnipotence implies sky manipulation, so that's a bit redundant, especially when you consider the fact that the Chinese considered Shangdi to be identical or identifiable with T'ien (Heaven or Sky). Lastly I appreciate the lack of commenting as to why you made the change, and just making it (incorrectly) anyways.
