I thought it meant that you don't change your mind regardless of new evidence.
I'm so glad we have the theists to tell us what words really mean.

Theism in general is the enemy of language; the only reason it survives is because its adherents seek to redefine every relevant word, often so that they mean exactly the opposite of what they do to normal people. Morality means commands, immoral acts are moral, unjust things are just, you have faith when you desire evidence for things, yet it's rational to believe certain things on faith, slavery isn't really slavery, because an objective and unchanging moral system had to change over time... this need that some christians have to demand caveats to normal rules of conduct and behavior so that god can get away with things no regular person could, leads them to twist the meanings of words, if not invent whole new terms without meanings at all, beyond what's required at any given time (let's not forget that "kinds" is an invention of christian theism.)

And of course, once they've given themselves the right to determine what words mean, it's really not that far fetched that they continue from there by giving themselves the right to tell us what we're thinking, etc etc. After all, the christian has a divine ownership over absolutely everything they need to assert.
