Amen...Do you say it?
If not, what do you use instead.

It has never been a word I use. I usually say, "truth" or "truly".

I'd say 'Yea and verily' before using Amen - but yeah, I hear you (without the cheat sheet) or 'That is so true' or 'Fuckin' A' audience depending 🙂

I don’t have a problem saying it. It only means truth. Although most of the time I say it. It’s in a sarcastic manner. And will never say it at the end of a pray. Lol

Ditto, true, truth, truer words never spoken, hear hear, aye aye ....thank you I could not have said it better myself ...."so be it spoken" past and future tense meaning of 'amen' is patriarchal and faux magical. ...cults depend upon victims giving that echo of approval or insane belief

Amen, literally means SO BE IT! I've met christians that have no idea what it means.

Fuckin' A works equally well

When I did go to Church, Shouts of AMEN and Hallelujah used to annoy the hell out of me...lol

It's a word that does not have any meaning in my vocabulary, it has no useful meaning to me.

I'm not religious. I say no. I was brought up in a religious family,that's why I'm what my family calls the black sheep Does it make me different no I'm still mike I'm still me. I use to say it when I went to AA but that's my past just like my religion its not something I want to talk about
