Oxymoron. Religion, since it's most primitive inception has been coupled with war. So to say "Religion of peace" is either a oxymoron or just wishful thinking. No offense to anyone's religous beliefs of course.

First, you need to find something new, and then, you need to spread the word. ZIP codes, blogs, HIV, and smog are good examples of contractions, made from other words, or phrases. (smog is smoke + fog ).\nI made up a word once, and am busy spreading it. It is, 'monodogamaous'. It means I am faithful to only one dog, my pet Pepper.\nSpread my word, please.

("similar" or "same" will NOT work -- these are synonyms for the adjective "synonymous")\n\nFor the noun "synonym", try:\nequivalent, substitute\n\n(Some folks will claim that "synonym", ironically, HAS no synonyms. But that is based on a misunderstanding of what a synonym actually is. To be a synonym, a word does NOT have to have exactly the same meaning in all instances. It simply has to be able to convey the same meaning in SOME cases. If you say "I can't think of a synonym for 'obnoxious'." you could use "a substitute" or "an equivalent" in place of "a synonym" and it would convey the same sense. Thus, in this case, these words function as synonyms for "synonym".)
