For intuitive and critical discussions, from spirituality to theological doctrines. Fair warning: because the subject matter is personal, moderation is strict.

No, you're not the only one who sees that, I do too.

if a word doesn't have a definition, it is useless.
you can't use it, it doesn't refer to anything, nothing at all.
if god is undefined, then "god is feces" means just as much as "god is nature"

1) definitions lead to infinite regresses at least they can.
2) a word without a definition can be useful as long as it incites experiences in others effectively.
