Dear all engaged in this Mormonism/Christian debate:

I’m gonna let you in on a little philosophical insight that might help.

We dont use words with clear definitions in every day language. There are no definitive necessary and sufficient requirements for the deployment of each word. Rather, these words for each of us are a collection of ‘family resemblances’ that form a general impression for usage.

We can make up specific, more clearly delinated definitions for particular purposes, but thats not how language usually works.

A lot of arguments hinge on the mistaken belief that there is a clear definition to a particular concept which excludes others.
