Last week's word was "framing."

Sometimes recast as "reframing".

We need a fresh, new word for next week. What shall it be? We can suggest possibilities and even vote, perhaps. I'll start with "mythology." We haven't had a lively discussion of that recently. For example, today we use that term to describe defunct religions of Greece and Rome. What was once religious belief is now just myth.

Religion appears to have a fungible nature. Looking back in time, many religions have been replaced with others and have become mere mythology. For all I know, that could be the eventual fate of all religions. Fungible commodities, perhaps...human religions.
