Divine actions(as used in philosophy of religion): Actions attributed to God or a deity in religious texts and beliefs.
Moral disapproval(as used in ethics): A feeling of judgment that someone has done something wrong or bad; thinking less of a person because of their actions.
Narrative function(as used in literary and philosophical analysis): The purpose a story or account serves in communication—for example, telling a story just to explain a lesson, rather than reporting something real.
Scripture: # Scripture Scripture refers to sacred religious texts that followers believe contain divine wisdom or God's word. These are the foundational writings of religions—such as the Bible in Christianity and Judaism, the Quran in Islam, or the Vedas in Hinduism—that provide spiritual guidance, moral teachings, and instructions for how believers should live. Scriptures are typically memorized, studied deeply, and treated with great reverence within their religious communities.
