But doesn't that make it meaningless? If we can't all agree what it means, then it doesn't mean anything at all.

It should, make it meaningless, and thus it should be possible to talk about the various meanings like you talk about kitten pictures on the Internet.

What I have observed however that talking about God locks some people up. Sometimes in an actively un-responsive way. So for them the word is associated with a meaning they are running away from. And you can't talk about their meaning because, well they are running away. The is the circle I alluded to in my original comment.

This is incredibly presumptuous.
