I have mentioned deconstructionism before. It is a philosophy that fuels our Proregressive* institutions. It basically boils down to saying that words mean whatever you want them to mean at the time you mean it. It gives them total control over the conversation if you waste time talking to them.
That is not to say that words do not mean different things at different times. I am guessing that many of you have a copy of Roget’s Thesaurus on one of your shelves. If not you have seen them at school or the library. It is a tool for looking up the variations of meanings or for synonyms if you are trying to be creative. One of my favorite simple words that has multiple meanings is the word “can”. I looked it up in the thesaurus and was reminded of a meaning that had left my world. It can mean jail. Also of interest I did not see any mention of the containers that soup and soda come in. I guess you can’t even trust reference books any more.
This is just a reminder that language can be used to confuse and distract as much as to clarify and explain. Much of it depends on the attitudes and motives of the speaker. Everyone does it to some degree but you can almost assume that anyone who doesn’t believe in God will take a lot more liberties than a devout believer. The Christian knows that God is listening and he will be held accountable. The non-believer or cultist will feel like they are their own judge.
Be careful out there; it is a jungle.
