Personally, my self included, I’ve seen people unapologetically being rebellious, conniving, and ruthless in order to rescue their own well being and self-goodwill from any dark minded motives.

Standing up for yourself means not letting people take advantage of you. Some people use this phrase as an excuse to be nasty to others, this is not its true meaning. If somebody wanted to take something from you you would say no, thats standing up for yourself, same if somebody attacked you or tried to push in line.

It depends what you are asking. Are you asking whether the English word "god" has a meaning; and if so what is it? Or are you asking whether "God (the Creator" has meaning in who He is and what He does? The first question about the Eng word "god"; well to be honest, I do NOt know what is the origin of the word. I guess I can check online, but that would be me just regurgitating what someone else has written. I tend to think of the Eng word "god" to refer to "a or the Creator". When used of the biblical God, then I would refer to "God" as meaning "the uncreated Creator who is full of power and might; a king who has the right and ability to judge, but is not confined to a physical form" As for whether the God of the Bible has meaning... I would say that the question is the wrong way round: the God of the Bible is the means by which ALL else has meaning. No thing can have meaning unless the God of the Bible is truly who He says He is. I understand then that this implies that one has to accept that the God of the Bible - 1 - Exists 2 - Can be experienced by mankind 3 - The Bible is an accurate account of God communicating with mankind (in its original language) I guess what could help answer the second question is "Why should anything have meaning?" Or better still "Why are humans looking for meaning in things?" across ALL cultures throughout all of recorded history... Hope this helps

this does not apply as much to physically defending yourself as it means to defend your integrity, like if someone falsely accuses you.

You don't have others' votes, that's what it means! It is meant to discourage you, dissuade you!
