Boycott Webster! The book is now formally heretical

Now?

The following is from the 1913 edition:

1. A being conceived of as possessing supernatural power, and to be propitiated by sacrifice, worship, etc.; a divinity; a deity; an object of worship; an idol.
He maketh a god, and worshipeth it. - Is. xliv. 15.

The race of Israel . . . bowing lowly down To bestial gods. - Milton.

2. The Supreme Being; the eternal and infinite Spirit, the Creator, and the Sovereign of the universe; Jehovah.
God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. - John iv. 24.

This is defying the first amendment -- "thou shalt have no gods before me" -- in the most literal way possible.

Try reading the Bible a bit more closely. Or, alternatively, use a search engine.
