Semantics
I’ve never been one to hold tightly to what words mean. For instance, “conservative” means one thing to one group of people and carries a completely different connotation to a different set of folks. Similarly, “liberal” can take on different meanings depending on who is defining the word and what their experience has been. Basically, the word itself isn’t near as important as what the context is and what’s trying to be explained.
With that being said, there are some words that are pretty well defined…or so you’d think. A recent survey by the Pew Research Center reports that 21% of Athiests believe in God. 6% of Athiest believe in a personal God. (The poll results are here).
I really don’t think that I can offer any commentary that is funnier that the actual poll results….enjoy!
