the one that makes rules or the one that does not break them?
because let's face it not one follows religion by the book
and that is considered breaking it
and as the saying goes
what does not break you make you stronger?!

It doesn't make any difference, because everyone believes as he, or she, wishes, regardless of what words they may apply to their religious beliefs.
If there are any words to begin with.Quote:

Words are extremely malleable. Common usage changes all the time and words shift in their meaning quite frequently.Quote:

This suggested a Zen-like attitude toward language.Quote:
If there are any words to begin with. you wrote different things.
This comment suggested a more linguistics oriented view of language.Quote:

Maybe you tried to use language in too malleable a fashion, and it got twisted out of shape. So what did you mean?
Exactly.Quote:

English is a rather precise language; although some people don't know it well enough to use it with precision. If one doesn't know what he intends to expression, then using the English language will not make the intended expression any clearer, but one could substitute the name of any other language, and that assertion would be as accurate.Quote:

That is also true. Fortunately, many things that complicate other languages have been dropped from English.Quote:

Personally, I would love to be able to garner the essence of either French or Spanish, but I came to the game a little late.
The original post is interesting to me; it speaks to the fragility of the human ego (in this sense the human operating system) and it's relationship to morals and "that which is beyond."
I like the way cacian describes things. As far as "which religion", to answer her question, I suspect the ones that work best for each of us are good enough. We don't all have to have the same one.Quote:
