Okay so in the religion forums the main word most talk about is GOD.
Who came up with this word anyway? The history of the actually word that is "GOD". Why not "p-u-s-s-y cat"? Doesn't that sound better? I like it  but yes GOD? Maybe it is short for something when the word was invented? Like Good old Days? Goodness on Devils? If you know the history or find it on google about it then don't hesitate to share this with us. |

 OOOHhhh; you are so going to get in trouble.... Your not suppose to ask that! Since religion is an invention of man, I would have to conclude that the man would know. Otherwise, keep the faith man....... |

I would assume the word "god" is short for Goddess? My first guess is that God/Goddess are English in origin but that could be wrong. Now I will need to look it up.

O.E. god "supreme being, deity," from P.Gmc. *guthan (cf. Du. god, Ger. Gott, O.N. guð, Goth. guþ), from PIE *ghut- "that which is invoked" (cf. Skt. huta- "invoked," an epithet of Indra), from root *gheu(e)- "to call, invoke." But some trace it to PIE *ghu-to- "poured," from root *gheu- "to pour, pour a libation" (source of Gk. khein "to pour," khoane "funnel" and khymos "juice;" also in the phrase khute gaia "poured earth," referring to a burial mound). "Given the Greek facts, the Germanic form may have referred in the first instance to the spirit immanent in a burial mound" [Watkins]. Cf. also Zeus. Not related to good. Originally neut. in Gmc., the gender shifted to masc. after the coming of Christianity. O.E. god was probably closer in sense to L. numen. A better word to translate deus might have been P.Gmc. *ansuz, but this was only used of the highest deities in the Gmc. religion, and not of foreign gods, and it was never used of the Christian God. It survives in Eng. mainly in the personal names beginning in Os-. "I want my lawyer, my tailor, my servants, even my wife to believe in God, because it means that I shall be cheated and robbed and cuckolded less often. ... If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him." [Voltaire] First record of Godawful "terrible" is from 1878; God speed as a parting is from c.1470. God-fearing is attested from 1835. God bless you after someone sneezes is credited to St. Gregory the Great, but the pagan Romans (Absit omen) and Greeks had similar customs. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=god Key to above abbreviations: O.E. Old English, the English language as written and spoken c.450-c.1100. PIE Proto-Indo-European, the hypothetical reconstructed ancestral language of the Indo-European family. The time scale is much debated, but the most recent date proposed for it is about 5,500 years ago. O.N. Old Norse, the Norwegian language as written and spoken c.100 to 1500 C.E., the relevant phase of it being "Viking Norse" (700-1100), the language spoken by the invaders and colonizers of northern and eastern England c.875-950. L. Classical Latin, the Italic language of ancient Rome until about 4c. P.Gmc. Proto-Germanic, hypothetical prehistoric ancestor of all Germanic languages, including English. Skt. Sanskrit, the classical Indian literary language from 4c. B.C.E. |
