Religion in Linguistics: odd thing i noticed

[TSA]

and it's been in my face this whole time

Devil God
Evil Good

thoughts?

[FMJ]

Ya, I've noticed this for a while. Maybe it is telling us something.

[TSA]

that the concept of good and evil its self is a religious one, and therefore morals themselves, are a religious concept

that's what i got from it

hmmmmm...

[FMJ]

Maybe it is saying God promotes good and the devil promotes evil.

[FMJ]

Or we can say good is a subset of God, cuz starting with the world 'God', all u have to do is add one more 'O' to make it 'good'.

And 'Evil' is the foundation of the 'devil', cuz 'evil' is contained in the word 'devil'.

Maybe..

[Visionz]

language has tie-in like that everywhere

the present--really the only moment that any of us ever really have

but its also another name for a gift.

there's more out there like that that I've noticed before I'll post more when I remember what they are

deep stuff right there.

try this one .....








doo doo dookie

count dooku





thoughts?

[TSA]

i think count Doo Kuu is made of pheces

but on everything else, im real big on linguistics, mainly studying english but i can't find books on the subject, it's 100x more telling and honest then almost any history book or teacher

I think it all has to do with root words. the early stages of a language starts with a ruff sound thats a word, and from that word everything that has anything to do with it sprouts

for instance look at niger, portugese or french for black, i can't remember

but from niger you get nigger, niger (river), niggerish, niggerisms, niggerolic, nigglet, niggy the pooh.

all these words, tho admittedly some are made up, are different but will always have something to do with their root word of blackness or of a blacklike nature, and will show an association of concepts based on that root.

if you look at Evil, you see alot of words with Vil (with a french origin) have a negate connocation, Vile, Villian, Violence, Vilipend Viler, Vilifeny, Vilify, and so forth, and things like this usually run back to a basic religious grounding, me guess is that in the area of Gaul or somewhere in indo europe a god bearing Vil as the core of its name was the god of Evil and later was replaced by the Devil when christianity came in. Usually latin uses of Vil have a completely different nature but when tied to the french uses it usually bad. This theory is still stetchy, correct me if im wrong

on that is solid and proven is the word God.
God, War, and Thor all come from the same rough sound which once meant the same thing. It's no wonder that Thor was the God of War. So in a strange war all the words that came from those roots Worship, Warrior, Thunder, Thursday, Thurman, Good, and God have a archaic relation

again, a rough theory i haven't looked into lingusitics hard enough

[TSA]

also upon looking at the word Vil, im finding that almost all words mean or revert to 'blacken'

this god im speaking of could be a link between the western mind relating blackness with evil, destruction, violence, and so forth, cause there is no where in a western dictionary that black has a positive meaning. If not being used objectively to describe a color (sometimes more subjective then objective), it's something bad


hmmmmmmmm

[TSA]

Vil in the Roman or latin sense almost always ties back to living (maybe that's why you see the word LIVing look the way it does)

Civilian, Viliage, Villa, Vill

[FMJ]

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary traces the word back to an old Latin word religio meaning "taboo, restraint." A deeper study discovers the word comes from the two words re and ligare. Re is a prefix meaning "return," and ligare means "to bind;" in other words, "return to bondage." Do you still want some of that "old-time religion"?

This "bondage" or "binding" may be unity with God, in which case returning to that union would be an excellent idea.
