Amen...Do you say it?
If not, what do you use instead.
It has never been a word I use. I usually say, "truth" or "truly".
Its just a word. The english langauge never met a foreign word it didnt like at least a little.
I use it, sarcastically of course...
Same here.
I used to say, occasionally,"Amen, hallilujah, and give the lord a sacrifice!" but I haven't said that in years...maybe I should bring back the 'pheme...
Ditto, true, truth, truer words never spoken, hear hear, aye aye ....thank you I could not have said it better myself ...."so be it spoken" past and future tense meaning of 'amen' is patriarchal and faux magical. ...cults depend upon victims giving that echo of approval or insane belief
Amen, literally means SO BE IT! I've met christians that have no idea what it means.
Fuckin' A works equally well
When I did go to Church, Shouts of AMEN and Hallelujah used to annoy the hell out of me...lol
It's a word that does not have any meaning in my vocabulary, it has no useful meaning to me.
If I'm pretending to be a churchie or am telling a joke I will say it. otherwise no way.
I'm not religious. I say no. I was brought up in a religious family,that's why I'm what my family calls the black sheep Does it make me different no I'm still mike I'm still me. I use to say it when I went to AA but that's my past just like my religion its not something I want to talk about
