Definitions Follow Reality

One does not need to know the dictionary definition of Spiritualism to be a spiritualist. One does not need to have ever seen a dictionary definition of pantheism to be a pantheist. A man need never know what a lexicographer says of atheism to be an atheist. All the things came first, the definitions came later.
