I have had similar conversations with many different people. I use words differently than they do. Marriage can be between opposite or same sex people. God is not a being as much as an experience. Feminism , is shifting for a new generation of women. Etc... Lots of words are shifting meaning these days. People sometimes get irrated when their meaning and my meaning is different. I may be taking liberties with these words or I may be refelcting a new way of seeing things,
What do you think about using the same words but now in new ways? And the division that occurs between people when the old meaning and the new meanings clash. I know I am talking to people here who probably think marriage is fine with same sex people and that god is not a man in the sky. But feminism I find is different for women in our 20's and 30's than for women in their 50's and 60's.
What do you think happen society wide when this shifting happens on a mass scale?
