the Fingers ?(technical term) ... yes, yes she is.

I am still pondering the phrase "Islamically solve their problems." WTF??

lemme see; Germany tried to "Nazistically solve their problems" = the Final Solution (which was neither)

Russia tried to "Stalinistically solve their problems" = Purges Propaganda & Prisons

and not to forget America trying to ">cough< Democratically solve their problems" = the world today.

sigh, hang on lads its gonna be a bumpy ride.

Definitions 1,2 and 4 say it all. No need for a new word at all. God and the Elves get along famously.

"Argument from Etymology": it is often surprising how many arguments can be brought back to this: I always try to remember "it's not necessarily what the word means, but what we understand the word to mean". Not always the same thing.

i doubt it will ever cease to amaze me how a believer can worship 1 fictional character, yet not see that it belongs in the same class as all other 'make believe characters'.
