Origin of word Heathen...by ***TRIAD

  Author:  177  Category:(Interesting) Created:(9/22/2003 5:29:00 PM)

Do you know how the word Heathen came about? As we know the epithet Heathen is often given (by Christians) to all humans who are not Christians.

The origin of the word comes from the word heath, that is from those desolate regions, (particularly in UK) upon which heather grows. The heather grows upon the heath, and the wild folk who live upon the heath are heathens.

All you Heather girls out there....hold your lovely heads high. Your name is beautiful.

Date: 9/22/2003 9:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 19092    That's a new one on me...interesting, So now tell me what "heather" is...  
Date: 9/23/2003 5:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 54987    Hey... that's cool. Could you please find out the origin of pagan. Not the dictionary version. Thanks... very enlightening  
Date: 9/24/2003 2:53:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 177    KC, I think that heather is kind of like scotch broom.  
Date: 9/24/2003 3:05:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 177    Koolade, I know that some Christians, when they are not calling non-Christians heathens, are in the habit of calling them pagans. I believe that pagans are actually people who worship independently...nature god/ess and the forces that be. They are not evil...just into natural worship. There is no doctrine or dogma.
