Similarly, if you use the word 'God' to mean something other than, 'The supranatural being who created and sustains the physical universe as a home for human beings', you're left with the choices of either people looking at you as if you're some new species of wombat or getting bogged down in explaining your new definitions and never getting round to the point.

That being said, you seem like a very nice person. Smile
