Can we make up our own names for "entities" that might have other names in specific religious traditions?

What if "Satan" does NOT represent simply some vague "incarnation of evil" to you personally. What then?

What if he or any other entities given names in specific religions happen to be "real people" to you as an individual and your discussion of them has nothing to do with religion but with yourself and your perceptions and experiences including your legitimate MH concerns? What would be the best way to discuss these in the context of spirituality and how they affect/impact spirituality without using words or Names that others have difficulty with?

What if people use the generic word "God" but then slip in triggering talk that belongs specifically and very obviously identifiably with one particular religion? Should they be allowed to get away with that crap? There seems a big difference between a general spiritual use of the word "God" as a broad concept versus a specific religious use of the word where EVERYONE KNOWS "WHICH" so-called "GOD" the person refers to ....

Thanks in advance for any insight the admins can give on this. Malady prefers discussions of this nature (unless we need to address something private/personal specifically) take place in the open where everyone can see what has been discussed. Hope that will not be a problem here. When people say to PM an admin it gets squicked by bad experiences in the past (on other boards) of having been told one thing in PMs and told quite another in public. Just saying "well trust us we won't do that" doesn't help, either, it only adds to the anxiety that in addition to having legit concerns founded in real-world experiences, Malady has now been ordered to pretend otherwise, etc. and act in ways that could be unsafe according to its past experiences ... you get the picture, hopefully?
