    You are saying “Be careful with the words here” and that there a different definitions…

    I am the one here who is careful with the G-word. Others just throw that word in (of course without mentioning which definition they refer to)…

    Let’s be honest: In the end, the legal definition (and therefore the legal decision) is the one that has actual consequences.

      The definition you insist on is not the only one with consequences. Arguably, in the Trump-Netanyahu era, the legal one might be the one with the least amount of consequences…

      It also not the one used for the English Wikipedia. I told you to be careful with words because you were using the legal definition to argue against the scholarly one. Sticking to the legal definition doesn’t make you careful per se. And I’m not sure I understand what “throwing around” is happening here. This is not the Lord’s name to not be taken in vain.
