hussy--originally housewife (huswif)\nsilly--originally holy (related to German selig)\nDowngraded is probably not the correct term.  Words simply change their meaning over the years.

It is written, "Lean not on thine own understanding" Trust in the Lord... Christ - the Word. Obviously, don't give anything to trolls... don't throw your pearls before swine. Contribute to those in need, as the Lord directs.

Son,you know that to be not true\n\nSpare us your stupidity and refrain from making even more of a jackass out of yourself.\n\nThis insult is very lame because an eight year old can come up with something better than this to get attention.\n\n\nI mean,even the heaviest christian bashers on this forum would call this one weak compared to their onsluaght.

On the contrary, when people hear or say, "Christian," they automatically think or mean "born again Christians."  When it should be what you stated......................................

Modern-day, a Pagan is a person who is polytheistic and/or follows an earth-based religion.\n\nBack a few years, a Pagan was anybody not of the Judeo-Christian faith.\n\nBack a while more, it was a person who lived in the country.\n\nFarther back, it was used by the Romans to describe people in villages who worshipped their local deities.\n\n\nPeople use the first example most often. :)

It is from the Hebrew Amayn meaning "let it be so".  The longer version of this would be Kayn Yihi Ratzon.\n\nIn Jewish practice, it isn't something you would say after your own prayer, but rather something you would say after hearing someone else's prayer. So it acts as an affirmation that you agree with what the other person has said.

I don't understand why Topher used quotation marks over the word  "tolerates."  It almost implies sarcasm.  I feel that they say they tolerate, then quietly go back into their "houses of the Lord" and laugh all the way to heaven, thinking they know the "true" path.

The word Christian means -Christ like, nothing more or less, so if you stop being Christ like (keeping gods laws and statues)then your no longer a Christian. You must keep it up as long as Christ did to be exactly like him.(CHRISTIAN) DID JESUS TAKE A BREAK IN BEING RIGHTEOUS?

lol I dont think it matters. They are commonly used phrases in society and I dont take them literally. When I say such things, it is not premeditated, they just come out.so there is no real meaning behind them. Im not actually talking to a god or damning something to that non existent place at all.

Christianity of 200 years ago was propagated by preaching, not by the sword. Christians don't cut your head off if you refuse to become Christian.

Normal human. Trying to enter a good college. \nHe will say - "I gave you so much. I would have been happy if you would have used even half"\nMe - "Why didn't you take it all back then and give it to someone who would?" (Not angrily. You realize I no longer have a life)\nGod - "you had faith in me even in the darkest of times. How could I,your father, lose faith in you then ?"\nMe - "I love you. Except for that one time when you didn't let me get the best answer points on Yahoo Answers!!!"\nJust kiddin :)

:{\nstarted, but he seems to question the validity of following ones faith in light of modern social and technical trends. I've heard enough of that pseudo intellectual faithless jargon to last a lifetime

One thing to keep in mind is that the words that are okay today are the "non-PC" words of tomorrow. It's funny how terms come in and go out of vogue. \n\n(For example, people used to use the word, "dwarf" for someone suffering "dwarfism" -- now the term is "little person." Eventually people will tire of that, the term will be decried as bad, and another one will be chosen.)\n\nSome people understand this and see terms like "retarded" as just words, and aren't offended by its general usage. Other people are more sensitive and will become heavily offended. It's strange how different the sorts of reaction can be -- sometimes VERY strong in either direction, all over the same word. \n\nI usually just try to remain aware of why I use certain words, and which situations might demand a higher level of sensitivity even if the word doesn't bother me particularly.

Hmmmm.  Jim Darwin disappears and Normal Guy shows up making constant references to Jim Darwin.  Coincidence?  You decide.\n\nIn answer to your question, I don't see any religious meaning.  It seems to be a reference back to Nazism.
