From an earlier post of yours- Since the Bible is the operators manual (so to speak) of my beliefs, which make up the essence of my soul, Anyway- it doesn't matter- only that I am a stickler for words and their precise meanings. I think effective communication depends heavily on the mutual agreement on meanings. Also , you seem to be saying that a definition by its very existence means that the concept is truth, has physical or spiritual reality. This is not what a dictionary is- it is only the MEANING of a word as it's used by people that exists, not that the actual object exists- For instance, under Zeus, you will find this: the presiding god of the Greek pantheon, the ruler of the heavens... or poltergeist- a ghost who manifests itself by noises and rappings This obviously doesn't mean that Zeus existed, or that there is such a thing as a poltergeist, only that it's a generally accepted meaning of the word.
