"That Word Does Not Mean What You Think It Means"

For one thing, Judaism does not have a communion ritual.

For another, it doesn't have bishops with the power to deny an individual access to communion.

This is what happens when religious terms wander into the civic sphere.

  1. I remember when "anathema" entered the recognition vocabulary of the college credentialed and those who wanted people to think they were. I used to notice that there were words that you'd see in one of the NYC based magazines and a few weeks later you'd see it more than you'd seen it in your entire previous life in other NYC based magazines.
