Most people use the term without knowing its meaning. A "tool" is someone who does not make decisions or statements for themselves. Rather, they parrot a party line and act more on what others may think of them than on what is right.
"Tool" is one of those tems use in a hurtful sense without thinking. Calling something "Gay" because its not something you like is another such term. On this forum, people toss around terms like, liberal, terrorist, Christian, Muslim, or conservative without any consideration for their meaning or for the impact they have on people.

It is some one who is being used and doesn't realise it, for example by a person or by commercialism etc. Though it is pretty much synonymous with 'fool' or other less friendly four-letter words begining with 't'.
Also, the word 'spanner' is used instead of the word 'spastic', which in this case is used to mean someone stupid. But I find this innaccurate and unpleasant and avoid using it.
I prefer the term 'yoghurt' it is, as far as I know, no based on anything offensive.

Yes, I do think that Satan will continue to lure people further away from the Christian Church and the denying of the Trinity and the Divinity of our Lord has proven to be a great tool to deceive people away from Christianity. Arianism is an ancient heresy that grew under the Roman Emperor Constantine who supported the heterodox Arians against the Christians. He was Baptized on his death bed by the Arians. It is impossible to be a Christian and deny the true nature of God in the Trinity. This is a 2000 year old teaching of the Church. There are many sects that have the foundation of Arianism: Jehovah Witnesses Ang Dating Daan Iglesia ni Cristo Christadelphians and various Pentecostals and other schismatic groups Mormons are henotheistic which believes in innumerable gods The literal understanding of the Bible does not in any way detract from the teaching of the Trinity. What these groups practice is eisegesis which means they use the Bible to support their man-made doctrines which in truth are not biblical. Some of these groups believe that Jesus is a god like creation but not a God in the Christian definition of God. God bless! In Christ Fr. Joseph Note: Those calling themselves oneness Christians are not Christians at all but follow the heresy of Arianism. The belief in the Trinity is the fundamental belief in Christianity. Their belief denies that Jesus was the Messiah and the Savior of the world in which case we still await the Messiah prophesied. It denies the totality of the Gospel. Contrary to their teaching Jesus was the Lamb of God and was the perfect sacrifice for the sins of mankind. He was not a pretender and a liar. When confronting these Arians ask them to give you book, chapter and verse where they have any authority to teach or to form doctrine. They do not have any authority and are false teachers pretending to be Christian. The Bible describes them as ravaging wolves and they should be avoided. Note: Kevin, I noticed that you do not allow emails like most of the people on here who are critical of Christian beliefs. I went directly to the website you quoted from and it is absolutely the most convoluted circular argument I have ever read on any doctrinal issue. It makes no sense and contradicts itself at least three times. The author reminded me of someone who tries to dance to win the adoration of another only to find out that their two left feet has the opposite effect. Forgive me, but I am a former seminary professor and I detest plagiarism. You would have received a 0 on this assignment if you were one of my students. The author was Jason Dulle. Tell the truth in the future and give credit to your sources.

Ever seen a college frat kid? The ones who wear boat shoes (Sperry's) with bright pink shorts and buttoned down oxford shirts? Those are tools.

Many Hollywood entertainers are tools of the Democrat establishment. The politicians use the person's fame to advance their agenda, and most often the Hollywood type hasn't much idea what they are supporting.

Being a tool is exactly what it sounds like...being used by someone else, and not having your own opinions.
