In Response To: Crazy idea... (Gunslinger_19) IANARS (I am not a religious scholar), but here's my take: "Amen" is pretty much the biblical equivalent of "what he said", and is a relic of ancient Judaeo-Christianity. The ancient Jews' priests spoke a different version of the language than the common people. Thus, the priest would pray and the congregation could Amen totheir soul's salvation. Same thing in medieval Europe, except with Latin as the priestly language in question. | |
