lol I'm speechless.

this guy is in congress. now that is scary.

That "a-women" thing legitimately pissed me off.

same here..

Im an athiest and it pissed me off.

Dumb as hell. Its a Hebrew word, not English. And it was never gendered to begin with

exactly

Hello there

and these guys are supposed to make laws for the country

I heard it was originally the name of an eygiptian king

Then got adopted to a word

I believe it was used as a suffix, like Tutankhamen

At least in the context of Ancient Egypt

what about king tut?

Imagine if we said atut

Tut = Tutankhamen

And wouldn't it make sense that cultures that had communicated would share some words

Yep

I know that but why are we talking about it lol

This. 👍

Chicken said it might have originally been the name of an Egyptian king

My brain isn't working well yet

But its both a pre and suffix for Egyptian names

Dont quote me on that, might be wrong

Amen-ra

Must. Release. The. Rage. Lest. Head. Explode.

king tut *was* a real Egyptian king

They had a 12 year old leader. We have 112 year old leaders. Hmmm.

I know, but i heard amen was the name of another Egyptian king

Yeah but to be fair average life expectancy at the time was like 30

So true! Good catch.

aww shit

The word meant something different, and probably wasn't even pronounced the same though😂

apparently to kill a mockingbird is too racist to read in school

Amen in Egypt is pronounced more like "Ah-mun" if I remember right

We have a bad habit of anglicizing their names and spellings

Yup

it do be mentioning the n word multiple times tho

lol you guys saw the amomen thing?

Yeah? Have you heard rap music?

Over thousands of years and spoken in other cultures i would expect pronunciation to change
