This is painful. We should have fleshed this out in chat, rather than spam the thread.
#1 you cited an example off the cuff to compare with a well defined subject: angels. "So... what is the comparison with shit example with no substance that I just pulled out of the air, and your well defined example. Please elaborate... " ...Q Ryft, when we let him.
#2 The OED is an example of an authority. You made the accusation of a fallacy of reference to authority. The OED is an authority too.. hence - fallacy fails. We all have accepted authorities. You and I can accept most definitions in the OED I suspect. Christianity is an authority I would accept, and you wouldn't. The problem here is the transference of understanding from those of us within that group and those outside.. ie you.
