== Holy (the term) ==
	by Dawn Metcalf


Please consider reinstating the old terms/creating new terms that do not
equate "holy" with "undead". For example:

    - rename "Holy Weapon" to "Bless Weapon"
    - rename "Holy Banishment" to "Exorcise"
    - rename "Magic Bandage" to "Healing Bandage"
    - "Holy Bolt" or "Holy Water" (as this is the correct term) is fine

Observation: Renaming things Holy is something I feel is disrespectful and
misconstrued, I feel this also about Miracle as a term [see that
proposal]. Something that is holy in the RL is like the Temple Mount, the
handprint of Buddhaa, relics of past Popes, a piece of the cross or the
tabernacle of the Ark of the Covenant. None of these have really anything
to do with undead. That's a D&D concept and while I think you could Bless
something to purify it (make clean from unclean, unclean = undead) that
makes sense. "Holy"  just feels...wrong to me. As would the idea that
something is 'holy' for 5 min [like a weapon or bandage] and then isn't.
Sacred into profane ASAP...just seems uncomfortably disrespectful to me.  
[i.e.: Bless Weapon, if not Magic Bandage then Healing Bandage, etc.]
"Holy Bolt" or "Holy Water" (as this is the correct term) is fine because
it is a pure substance as itself, with properties beyond that of just
against undead, which is popular RL mythology I have no issue with.
