Never heard of anyone praying this way

Please no joking, vote only if you really pray this way.

[purplepoppy]

Amen comes from the Hebrew āmēn and has nothing to do with men. You might as well ask why we say menstruation rather than womenstruation

[Asker]

Will add it to my vagtionary.

[purplepoppy]

Glad you womentioned it

[chris_987]

Wow a woman that's actually not constantly triggered, where do they sell your kind at

[siseñor]

@chris_987 - 'you're not like other girls'

ah yes, an intellectual

[Asker]

I'm offended.

[bayoubob]

@chris_987 Are you kidding? @purplepoppy is a regular unstable mental case of a libtard.

[bean2k21]

@bayoubob Yes, it feeds your limbic system with food and sexual imagery. Then slides in some pro-choice and ant-gun rhetoric. I believe the term is psychological warfare.

[Ghostluck]

@bayoubob So a Liberal agrees with you on a subject and you proceed to call her a "Libtard?" This is the problem with society, we are too busy demonizing one another over political disagreements, so much so that even when they agree with you or take a stance against something that is even too liberal for their taste, you still shame them. Well, I am sure you aren't doing much to help her sway from her ideas, that's for sure. I see this done from the Left towards the right constantly, I would be a hypocrite not to point out how it is also done by the right to the left. Maybe if everyone can stop dehumanizing one another, we could actually have a conversation and find compromises with the worlds current issues. We sure as hell never will for as long as we continue to bash one another. And before you call me a Libtard right along with her, I have many Right Wing views and a bit fewer Left Wing views, so I don't fit in to any of your political boxes. I don't swear allegiance to any political parties. Nobody owns me like that. All I am saying is that the shit between Liberals and Conservatives has to stop, might as well start here. Somebody has to take the first step.

[Curmudgeon]

@bayoubob Maybe elsewhere, but at least HERE she is sensible. Always give credit where credit is due.

[BCRanger10]

I don't know anyone who does. Some goofy congressman opened a session of Congress two or three years ago by saying "amen and awomen", which is just dumb because the word "amen" has nothing to do with biology. It's just a statement of affirmation. "Amen" just means "so be it", "I believe", "truly", and so forth.

[Curmudgeon]

Only in a truly secularized culture could buffoons make up such a statement. Hebrew has different words for men and women:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen

[Bee-Hatch]

Only mentally unstable folk talking to their invisible freind say Amen.


And no folk don't say Awomen

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

I don't get what is with hardcore progressive liberals and their improperly correct grammar, like "folk" instead of "folks" and "prejudice" instead of "prejudiced"

[Bee-Hatch]

That sounds like a complaint that may be valid if you use American English. But as a user of the original - English English, whose also proficient in several local dialects of English English, your bitching and whining doesn't really have any merit. Have a nice day

[Asker]

I wouldn't give you MHO, it was chosen automatically but whatever

[Bee-Hatch]

But you've asked anonymously, so nobody cares what you think.

[Asker]

Anyway I agree that many brainwashed sheep say amen...
This doesn't mean only ignorant people say it. Even non religious people say it.

[Massageman]

"A-woman" came from a false assumption and is a total fabrication.

While the word "amen" ends in "men," like "repairmen" or "handymen," it is not in reference to a gender, Dr. John Bergsma of the Franciscan University of Steubenville said to CNA on Monday. Bergsma has taught four undergraduate courses on Hebrew, as well as a summer intensive on the language.

"'Amen' is a Hebrew word whose root meaning is 'truth,'" Bergsma explained to CNA. "Already in ancient times, the Israelites used the term 'amen' in solemn ceremonies to express consent to the truth of what was said, meaning, 'it is true' or 'so be it,' depending on context."

In Hebrew, said Bergsma, the word for man is 'adam' or 'ish,' and is unrelated to the word "amen."

"In fact, the Hebrew pronunciation is 'ah-MAIN,' rhyming with 'train,' and doesn't sound like 'men,'" he said. "It is a verbal form, not a noun."

The use of "amen" in Christian liturgical and prayerful context, said Bergsma, "expresses complete consent and faith in what is being said or done, as when we approach the Eucharist and say 'amen' to the minister's statement, 'The Body of Christ'."

"At the end of prayer, 'amen" expresses our solemn consent to what has been said in prayer, affirming that we have been truthful and expressing faith in God's truthfulness and trustworthiness," he said. (excerpt ref from CNA)

AMEN!

[Snsl153]

"Amen" basically means "make it so"; it has nothing to do with gender, sex or anything related, so anyone using the expression "awomen" is telling the world in no uncertain terms that they're a complete fool and ignoramus.

[USLegionary]

No that's SJW politics est 2010. Now it's A-people so as not to offend trans

[DoctorSex]

It wasn't initially Amen

It was "Amun", short for Amun Ra.

This is a case of symbolism run amok.

Kind regards,
DoctorSex

[Asker]

I wear shoes called run amok, by softstar. They have flexible soles, wide toe boxes, zero lift heels, you can even choose conductive leather soles, which helps you stay grounded when walking outdoors, extremely important with all the electromagnetic pollution. Everything is of course customizable, even the dye that is food grade and non toxic.

[Zeus_66]

Amen literally means "so be it." Liberal wokeness is so insanely stupid, they are even offended by words that aren't even English and used within the language.

Het rid of your liberal friends, if you have any. The sooner, the better.

[Asker]

Liberal, conservative, progressive, all that shit doesn't mean much to me. I'd take the best part from each and ignore the BS.

I'm already getting rid of EDCs, and that is enough to separate me a mile from true libtards or soyboys.
If a male is constantly injected with estrogen since he was stored in the epididymis, will it affect his sexuality? ↗

[EnglishEuropean]

Not all liberals live in an alternate universe, but yeah.

[StevieNix]

@حسن66,
Tucker had a woke feminist on his show and she was telling him all the words that need to be changed like mankind, man-made etc.

So Tucker sarcastically asked her what she thought about Manhattan. l lol

[erandal]

I had to laugh at this when I first read it but yes some people do actually do that even though it has nothing to do with the male of the species.

Got to love the thread that @purplepoppy started.

[Texaskid1]

I have never heard it used in my life except for some woke idiots in Congress who have not the slightest idea on it's origins and that is has absolutely nothing to do with gender.

[Texaskid1]

Although in the interest of progress - and the fact that in 30 years we will all be genderless enuchs anyways- we should all start saying "atranny"

[Asker]

Hahaha
Most people are already prepared for that. Because most politicians and influencers are trannies. And people worship them already.

[Xoirwinkan]

Such idiots these days. The 'men' in that word has nothing to do with the English word men. Amen means 'so be it'. Are they going to try to change every word with man/men in it? What about eMANcipation for example?

Gender specific language is good, because being specific is good.

[BeMuse]

Amen is an affirmation of truth. Sacrilegious people that intend to deceive others mock it's meaning.

[LilyoftheLake]

It's... stupid. "Amen" has nothing to do with gender AT ALL.

[cth96190]

That is said only my morons who do not understand the language and who have been indoctrinated into the counter-natural lunacy of Feminism, which was created by Communists as one facet of a larger plan to undermine Western Civilisation.

[Whatever2929292]

The only time I heard it was that idiot in Congress... NO I am not into blasphemy and God will totally disregard whatever prayer it was

[John_Doesnt]

Ben Shapiro is a joke and people shouldn't be praying at all in congress.

[Asker]

I could argue about what a real prayer is, and that it wasn't a prayer. It was a clown joke, which the all of politics is about anyway.

[John_Doesnt]

all prayer is a clown joke.

[Asker]

I disagree simply because of past experience, not that I believe in a creep in the sky, but look... if it works at least in a placebo way, isn't it cool?
Our minds also are all somehow interconnected, haven't you ever thought of phone calling someone the same moment they're calling you?

[John_Doesnt]

A placebo is giving up on finding a real solution. You're not solving any problems, just putting a band-aid over the real problem

[Asker]

If we don't learn to use our minds effectively, someone will trick us into experiencing the nocebo effect, to then sell us their shit. Which happens all the time.

[John_Doesnt]

How is a placebo using your mind effectively? it's the exact opposite of using your mind, it is allowing your mind to get tricked.

[Asker]

If you're not in control, you will be tricked. Nocebo is the negative effect of belief.

[John_Doesnt]

Placebo is getting tricked. Are you slow witted or something? Because you're not making any sense. The whole point of a placebo is to trick the brain.

[Asker]

Since athletes given placebo steroids got jacked too, why would I be afraid of using the placebo?

[Lliam]

That's hilarious. It show how manipulative the Democrats are and how fucking ignorant their woke followers are.

[bolverk]

The only one who has ever used 'awomen' is a certain democrat politician currently Speaker of the United States House of Representatives and is supposed to be representing the people of California's 8th district.

[Subarugirl]

No lol it was a phrase used to highlight how sexism is ingrained into certain languages I believe

[Catacious]

I always assumed amen was just a mispronunciation of omen or some other religious bs.

[genericname85]

i'm sure there's some morons dumb enough to do this.

[XXblack88]

No never prayed like that or hered anyone pray like that.

[ArtemisSilver]

Possibly the dumbest idea I've ever seen expressed in comic bubbles.
