"Cul-cha" is slang for culture, to which you referred in an earlier post.

I think one can think for one's self while believing that a spiritual realm exists, or that humans possess souls (this is all up for discussion as well, which is where the thinking comes in). I don't buy the time-worn concept that independent thought is the personal property of the godless, and reject the propaganda of those who insist it is. "Radical" is another tattered label that could stand some repair.

"Pwog" is short for "pwogwessive" which is slang for progressive. I first saw this used by Alex Cockburn, who I believe does speak English, but dunno if he originated it.
