Misuse Of The Term "God".

[Psilocybe]

What is with some peoples' perversion/semantic manipulation of the term "god"? It generally is understood to mean "diety". Anything else seems to be an attempt to rationalize ones atypical belief system.

How are constant, orderly laws of physics, for example, "god"? That is arbitrary and not even thiestic unless you personify the universe itself as a single, sentient entity, which makes absolutely no sense. (There are a bunch of others uses, but I can't think of them now).

People often create a definition of "god" that make their arbitrary thiestic beliefs seem "logical". What really pisses me off is when people use the term bizarrely with a random, implied definition that appears to justify their beliefs yet in the same context as one would use the term diety. They always think they are so clever too, with their "diverse" and "unique" beliefs.

I'm looking for honest, sober discussion, not the rant of mindless, semi-psychotic, self-deluding fundamentalists of there own personal religion (that of course rips-off a dozen others).

I'm not refering to people who use the term in the traditional way. Nor am I implying that any thiestic belief is rational, that's beside the point.

The "to each his own" thing is bullshit, I mean come on. Organised religion is one thing, but should we really bend over for (equally respect and tolerate) every nut-job that craps out a mutated spin-off?
