Thanks for your recent contributions; I'm glad you're back. But was this one a typo?—msh210℠ (talk) 20:19, 1 September 2011 (UTC) ← from [[user talk:Markwiki]]
Meant independent as an antonym to pious in the way that people say they are religiously independent, as opposed to pious members of a congregation. Right now the second definition for independent fits it but has been limited to politicalally independent- maybe that should be broadened?— This unsigned comment was added by Markwiki (talk • contribs) at 20:25, 1 September 2011.
- I'm unfamiliar with it, but if it exists then I suppose that definition should be broadened, yes.—msh210℠ 20:27, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
and thanks for your help with slang context! Markwiki 20:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Are silly and pious antonyms? They don't strike me as such.—msh210℠ 20:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Hypocritical
[edit]How often is pious considered in a hypocritical sense
- From my own experience, hypocrisy doesn't necessarily come to mind when I hear pious; but I'm not saying that it's can't. It just doesn't inherently carry that connotation in my mind though Leasnam (talk) 20:06, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- It can be hypocritical like any other religious term, no more, no less. — This unsigned comment was added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) at 06:06, 19 October 2019.
practiced under the pretext of religion
[edit]Re : Wiktionary:Requests for verification/Non-English: difference between revisions. ( == pious translating to scheinheilig )
To begin with discussion 'practiced under the pretext of religion' translations box for the entry 'pious'. would be more apt.
No whataboutism, yet in this case 'Finnish: tekopyhä and (hypocritical) Japanese 偽善的な (gizen-teki na) are under question as well. Flāvidus (talk) 22:09, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
