What are your answers?

I find the tendency to argue over what a word means tedious. If your explanation of your faith hinges upon favorable definitions of words I'm thoroughly uninterested. By your logic (you too Sae) i could refer to the color of the sky by claiming that:

The pancake is bubbleguts.

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. You can call blue purple if you like, but whatever you believe it to be has no effect on what it is. A clear distinction between belief and knowledge right there. If you want to have a discussion about faith, fine. If you want to have a discussion about knowledge, fine. I won't engage in a debate over words, the only purpose of which is to avoid discussing the subject of contention. Some believe that Genesis is a literal account, however we know that it is not. That's one example, and one of the reasons I'm an atheist.

He's so close, it's cute

The cool thing about color: it can be seen differently. Take faithnomore for instance: can't see all of the colors I see. Poor chap doesn't know what 'purple' is

The cool thing about everything: it is experienced individually. The purpose of language, then... is not to describe something apparent to everyone: it is to describe one's own experiences and to see how it compares to others

I'm not calling blue 'purple', Rhythm dear: I'm claiming it is actually purple. Because really... how does my perception of the sky's color affect you? The sky gets black at night, and turns to a huge rainbow during the morning/evening. It all becomes purple for midday though, and that's why it's awesome

Debating what to call things is boring... debating what things are (ie: blue or purple) is where one's insights come in.
