Twelve stumbling blocks, part four: religious language

Number six is religious language — the article says to 'think biblically but speak secularly,' using the phrase 'language of Babylon,' which the hosts mock as itself incomprehensible religious jargon. Their revision: religious language is fine as long as it is well defined. They argue for teaching biblical terms with definitions — the Hebrew name of Jesus was Yehoshua, amen means 'so be it,' hallelujah means 'praise Yahweh' — and warn against dumbing things down: people find the real definitions fascinating, and kids can handle Jonah chapter four unsoftened.
