[edit]This article is about the religion, Shangdi is about the being. Although, this article could be fleshed out a lot more. Миборовский 04:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Shangdi was not a monotheistic being
[edit]The wikipedia page for Shangdi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shangdi) states:
"According to Yanxia Zhao, evidence shows that Shangdi was probably more transcendental than immanent, only working through lesser gods.[2]"
"2 Zhao, Yanxia. Chinese Religion: A Contextual Approach. 2010. p. 154"
If there were lesser gods, then Shangdi was not a monotheistic being.
