What we have here is merely a language thing - sometimes you use a word for a spiritual metaphor which has a particular meaning in another context, e.g. theoretical physics. And many times there is no bright line between the subjects!
Aye me hearty, speakin pigeon with the natives sometimes makes em do a pagan dance.. The dance of the Philistines I calls it.. They grunt and make gyrations while makein plans to shrink yer head.. Them heathen be a sneaky bunch.. Intellectually naked they be but will have you for dinner if were it not for the big guns.. The big guns, you know, the good book..
