Pam, that's nonsense. Its true meaning is not what it meant in the past anymore than the "true" meaning of "awful" is "filling you with awe" because that's what it used to mean. In fact words largely take their meaning from context - try doing research on "domains of discourse".

...why doesn't the quote option work anymore? Watch what happens when I try to quote Rab's post.

I think it is fine for those that believe in God to evangelicize (sp?) - just as it is fine for Atheists to spread their belief of the "truth".
Consider: if you thought the sky was red and I knew it was blue - it would be very natural for me to want to convince you it was blue - even if in the end it "didn't matter".
Same goes for Believers, same goes for Atheists.
