We have in our society a group that believes if you just redefine words you can alter reality. We see examples everyday with updates to the meaning of words like “racism” and “woman” and “recession” and whatever else is inconveniently in the way of their worldview.<p>Unfortunately reality has a way of ignoring religious ideology.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything that is remotely controversial or recent(as in last 20 years), as there always people who have agenda to &#x27;correct the record&#x27; on something.
