Websters. Online.

Sounds like Webster's Online is rewriting the English language, USCB. The words are the same, but their meanings are different -- reflecting the shift in the Kultursmog, I'd say. Need I point out that a chief tactic of the Progressive Left is to (mis)appropriate words and symbols for the purpose of undermining their "traditional" meanings, and to substitute meanings that are more in line with totalist, ideological goals?

Of course, the added "side-benefit" to such a maneuver is that people find it increasingly difficult to communicate with each other... a shared language is fundamental for that purpose.

I think Websters definition is pretty sound. A Biblical literalist describes most people who describe themselves as Creationist. And Biblical literalists most certainly does not describe all of our Founding Fathers.

The term Creationist certainly doesn't describe everyone who believes that the world was created.
