Some people or societies give certain words special meaning.
   They seem to have a power that comes from beyond here and exists
   separately from this reality. The belief that there is a
   built-in power behind certain words can sometimes cause conflict
   among people who each believe the words have power, but disagree
   on what it means.

   Personally? I do not believe words themselves have power. But
   people give words power through their belief that words have
   powers independently of the humans that use them. I think this
   affects people from all parts of the world, religious,
   scientific, atheist, logician, mathematics, etc.
