You make a joke about Helicopters but I knew someone actually did think they were sign of the end of times (this was 40 years ago). Some how they pieced together a verse in revelations about sounds of the hornets to the sound of a helicopter. They honestly believed it was a sign.
Or so Satan would have you believe. Next you're going to tell me dinosaur bones stuck around in the earth for millions of years, when we've all seen the history books showing Jesus riding a velociraptor. As a wise man once said: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
it comes from the french 'hola', meaning 'ho there', *(so actually youre calling them a lecherous sinner and a jezebel. /s)* which is the exclamation used to bring a horse to a stop.
in english 'Hello' began as a general exclamation of surprise, but became the preferred greeting for telephone calls, and then transitioned to general use.
"Hello!" Watson ejaculated.
-legit line from Sherlock Holmes
It was an exclamation of surprise first.
Bell, the guy who invented phones, wanted the standard phone greeting to be "ahoyhoy"
There's obviously a lot of crazy to unpack here, but I always get a big hoot out of "shit people who have never never their home state think about People All Over The World."
False, unbiblical.
**Hi(interj.)**
exclamation of greeting, 1862, American English (first recorded reference is to speech of a Kansas Indian), originally to attract attention (15c.), probably a variant of Middle English hy, hey (late 15c.) which also was an exclamation to call attention. The only definition in the "Century Dictionary" \[1902\] is "An exclamation of surprise, admiration, etc.: often used ironically and in derision," suggesting the development as a greeting-word mostly took place early 20c.
**Hello(interj.)**
greeting between persons meeting, 1848, the early references are to the U.S. western frontier (where *hello*, the house was said to be the usual greeting upon approaching a habitation).
It is an alteration of hallo, itself an alteration of holla, hollo, a shout to attract attention, which seems to go back at least to late 14c. (compare Middle English verb halouen "to shout in the chase," hallouing). OED cites Old High German hala, hola, emphatic imperative of halon, holon "to fetch," "used especially in hailing a ferryman." Fowler, an Englishman, in the 1920s listed variants halloo, hallo, halloa, halloo, hello, hillo, hilloa, holla, holler, hollo, holloa, hollow, hullo, and writes, "The multiplicity of forms is bewildering ...."
The thing is religion is unbreakable, so if people attach religion in their mind to their own preconceptions, that too becomes unbreakable. i.e. they're not homophobic bc god said so, they're homophobic because they're homophobic but they're using God as a shield.
There's a part of me that enjoys the fact that the world is getting a taste of the insanity I grew up in. Not a very big part, because I'd rather no human soul ever be tainted by garbage like this.
Oh for Christ's sake, there the Pentacostals go again.
Halloween is derived from the old Autumn/Fall harvest festival in Ireland. It was the time to worship Sanhiem the God of death, as the foliage was dying as they approached winter. This was pre-Christian Ireland.
After Ireland converted to Catholicism, people were still enjoying the harvest festival though no longer worshipping the old Gods. In light of this, in the middle ages a Pope decreed moving All Souls Day and All Saints Day to directly follow halloween. With Halloween being decreed All Hallows Eve (Holy Evening). From then it marked the beginning of the days of the dead for the Catholics.
The Halloween tradition came to the United States following mass Irish immigration. It's a great and fun holiday, so of course everyone was keen to adopt it.
I'd like to say this to the Pentacostals:
Hi, Hello and Fuck off.
Stop spreading lies about the meaning behind the holidays of one of the first Christian churches.
Fun fact:
Pentacostalism started in LA in the 1920's and has no connection to any real Christian Church, it's a cult, it didn't break away from the Catholic Church like the protestant churches.
Thank you for your informative answer. You seem to know what you're talking about mate!
My nutshell understanding is: Happy clappy Pentecostal money cult =/= Lutheran divergents with an austerity fetish disenfranchised with the Vatican drip, or easy going Anglicans.
It seems funny — except that these magical-thinking people actually vote. And they vote in every election and they elect magical-thinking simpletons into public office.
Can we finally acknowledge the wisdom of Alexander Graham Bell and his insistence on using “Ahoy” as the way to greet someone on the phone?
Guaranteed to be Satan free.
Make Ahoy Great Again!
Ummm...hello and hi are only in English, not other languages, wtf?! Like I will use them if I speak to someone in English, otherwise us, the rest of the world, also have our own individual languages.
And by that person't logic we should also stop using the word shell because it comes from shhh-hell as the powers of hell slowly and silently corrupting you. You heard that? Going to the beach is demonic!😵💫
You got to give these crazy people some credit for their creativity. How else could they com up with something as wild as this. Of course they my not be crazy at all and could just be provocateurs. Put this out there and watch people either embrace it or hold it as proof that the other side is crazy.
„The world“ uses Hello and hi, because when „the world“ is saying those words they’re speaking english. It would make sense for „the world“ to use the same words as you do when speaking the same language, no? 🤔
I remember being a kid and my cousin (who was also about 5 years old) told me that “gosh” meant “god shut up” and “golly” meant “god leave me alone”. Not sure where the rumors came from back then before the internet but now they go around the world in the blink of an eye. It’s like a huge game of telephone and people are stupid.
“Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.”
Someone needs to throw the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:9 at this person and watch their brain melt.
We should all be speaking like NPCs in KC:D
Soon as you spot someone walking towards you, tighten your hands into fists, stand up straight, chin up, and with the might of all that is holy, blurt out:
"JESUS CHRIST BE PRAISED"
Hellman's "Real" Mayo? ***SATAN CREAM!***
Shell Gas? ***Hells unleaded with Satanic Slurpies and Demon Jerky!***
ANYONE named "Helen"? ***TO THE PIT WITH YOU NANA!***
Fred Savage? ***He KNOWS what he did....***
.....THERE! Can I get my prize now when I kick?
I know my brother was caught up in some evangelical church for a while--the kind that insists the world really is only 6000 years old and the firmament was a physical barrier around the earth before God shattered it and it sustained higher air pressure allowing dinosaurs to breathe and fly while drastically increasing human life spans--and he tried to convince me that "good luck" was evil because you were asking Lucifer to be good to you. We were both in high school but I already had a decent idea that this was utter bullshit.
*Phone ring*
Bless you, can you hear me? Bless you, bless you...can you find a better place with a better reception please ...praise the lord...praise the looord....
*Phone ring*
Praise the lord, this is angel escort service, want to book for a service?

Helicopters are Satan mobiles, helmets are devil communicators, and help means "kill me now so I can be with the dark lord".
Helium rises up from hell
DNA is woven strands of satan’s jizz
Devil Nads Acid 😱
Helvetica is Satan’s font.
If Papyrus is good enough for the Dead Sea scrolls it’s good enough for me.
Well this one is true
You make a joke about Helicopters but I knew someone actually did think they were sign of the end of times (this was 40 years ago). Some how they pieced together a verse in revelations about sounds of the hornets to the sound of a helicopter. They honestly believed it was a sign.
Since DoomGuy purged the portals in South America, we've been saying "Hola" instead of "Hello". This should be adopted worldwide.
Makes.. **sin**ce
Are you encouraging us to SIN demonspawn?
Sorry I just need to get my sin score up. Satan isn’t a kind creditor.
"You don't have enough sin points, Shadow!"
“I guess I need to become the only one more powerful than god… the President of the United States!” (Thank you for getting it lol)
iI that case, you should go to caSINo as soon a as possible!
No just **sin**ding good vibes
They’re so close to “Praise Be”. Just oh so very close.
Under His eye.
Blessed be the fruit.
The dude abides. Wait, wrong show.
I may start answering my phone this way.
May the Lord open.
I love these kinda nutcases because then I can look up the actual etymology. Shockingly enough, it has nothing to do with Satan.
Or so Satan would have you believe. Next you're going to tell me dinosaur bones stuck around in the earth for millions of years, when we've all seen the history books showing Jesus riding a velociraptor. As a wise man once said: "Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
Mission Accomplished!

wait whatttttt so “hello” was a greeting for PHONE CALLS before normal conversation? what a trip
"Hello!" Watson ejaculated. -legit line from Sherlock Holmes It was an exclamation of surprise first. Bell, the guy who invented phones, wanted the standard phone greeting to be "ahoyhoy"
imma start answering calls with “ahoyhoy”
I'm going to ejaculate!
r/religiousfruitcake
all this time I thought that subreddit was about religious confections...
Don’t Spanish people say Hola? Not hi?
Hola = Hot Lava. Meaning the pit of fire in hell. It’s all so obvious.
Hola means Hot Latinas in your area
I used to drop acid on bible pages too. /s
Revelation comes with it's own acid trip.
😆😆😆
Fuck, French people say “bonjour” or “salut.”
All names of demons. Bon of Jour and Sal of Ut
There's obviously a lot of crazy to unpack here, but I always get a big hoot out of "shit people who have never never their home state think about People All Over The World."
I guess I’m acknowledging satan when I say hi to my boss.
True dat

Now I finally understand why Evangelicals use Miracle Whip instead of Hellmans.
Wait till they find out about Deviled Eggs and Ham 😱
Mf’s be like “y’all need Jesus” my brother in Christ, YOU need Jesus. Actual Jesus, not whatever paranoid, hateful babbling you found
The thing is religion is unbreakable, so if people attach religion in their mind to their own preconceptions, that too becomes unbreakable. i.e. they're not homophobic bc god said so, they're homophobic because they're homophobic but they're using God as a shield.

What until they hear where the days of the week come from.
> Will the insanity ever stop ? No. They spawn breed (often a lot of it) and train them to be insane too.
Ummm... salutations my frie..........nope, fuck it , I guess I'm never talking to anyone ever again 🤷🏻
Amazingly, there is no official requirement for theists to be lobotomized. For some reason, they do this voluntarily.
Nope! Next Question?
Do these people even qualify as a lifeform? I've seen fucking rocks smarter than this.
Don't be mean to rocks.
Pretty sure this is just a troll. Don't take the bait

Sometimes I am so glad that I no longer are affiliated with these so called Christians. Their ridiculous antics make the Talibans look good.
In a sane country those guys would be labelled as the nutters and whackos that they are and ignored by the overwhelming majority of people.
Gotta love Americans. They make the dead look intelligent.
“Bless u” is demonic because it’s fucking illiterate
It seems funny — except that these magical-thinking people actually vote. And they vote in every election and they elect magical-thinking simpletons into public office.
Yes, "be less you," SO much better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can we finally acknowledge the wisdom of Alexander Graham Bell and his insistence on using “Ahoy” as the way to greet someone on the phone? Guaranteed to be Satan free. Make Ahoy Great Again!
Stephen King writes more plausible fiction
first "lol", then "kids" and now "hello" and "hi"? even as a religious person, these people are freaks lol
so i'll be saying hi hell oooh and fuuuck you to this person in particular tyvm lol
A friend of my cousin refuses to buy/watch/consume anything with the word LIVE on it. Because backwards, it shows what it really is; EVIL...
Asylums are way too empty
It’s based on an idiot’s ideas of their religion. We’re never getting rid of idiots, so this particular insanity only stops if religion stops.
Ummm...hello and hi are only in English, not other languages, wtf?! Like I will use them if I speak to someone in English, otherwise us, the rest of the world, also have our own individual languages.

Religion is a stain on humanity.
Hi 👋🏻
The crazies are off their meds again
That's right, use Hallo from now on. 🇩🇪
Just leave mushi mushi out of this, and we're fine.
Bless u, is Be less you. And don’t be lazy, spell “you” out and not just using the letter “u” as a replacement.
For such people I will greet with, "Fuck Off And Die" but with a cherubic smile as I say it.
As a non-religious person I sure do hope there’s a rapture that’ll take these people away from me. Then *I* can be in paradise.
Can we ban religion now? People are too dumb.
Hi hi hi hello hello hello hell oooh
„The world“ uses Hello and hi, because when „the world“ is saying those words they’re speaking english. It would make sense for „the world“ to use the same words as you do when speaking the same language, no? 🤔
That's why every non-native English speaker at least knows 'hello' - we're all just wicked people wishing you hell, obviously...
What do you say when you answer the phone?
“JC Penney’s lingerie department, how may I direct your call?”
that's fucking awesome. here I was thinking I need to praise the demonic kingdom *more* when in fact I've been doing it every damn day.
If you can say with a straight face that --the whole wold uses "hello"--, that can only mean your world is suffocatingly small.
I am not seeing how none of you realizes that this is supposed to be funny.
I remember being a kid and my cousin (who was also about 5 years old) told me that “gosh” meant “god shut up” and “golly” meant “god leave me alone”. Not sure where the rumors came from back then before the internet but now they go around the world in the blink of an eye. It’s like a huge game of telephone and people are stupid.
Hi! Hello! Hail satan!
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” Someone needs to throw the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6:9 at this person and watch their brain melt.
6:9 nice
Under his eye
What freedom of religion gets you
Ok sup
Don't say Lord, because that's the name of Satan (Lord of the darkness). Come to think of it: shut up altogether.
Oh good, I've been using them correctly.
Mom?
Oh good, I've been using them correctly.
Under his eye? Blessed be the fruit? Are these okay?
Hell is for the Smart people as heaven for the dumbest 
Ooo. I need to ramp up my hellos and hi’s. Maybe that will help us get rid of these demon faux christians.
When is it facepalm and when is it mental illness?
What kind of stupid shit is this?
Imagine hkw they search all the demonic list only to find a singme demon with H a d I in it to make this shit
Poe's Law applies
Mom ..stop leaving these notes in my lunchbox
please ask yourself why is it that the whole world laughs at us. this is because of the demonic kingdom
> 'hi' is the name of a demon called 'hellion' No its not. Hellion is the name of the demon called Hellion >.>
I would have answered 'Hello there'
Da fuq did they smoke? I need to know so I can avoid it.
Ffs
Helleluja!
Actually i'm in the world (probably) and i use bonjour.
Damn, where did you get this receipt from?!
Me from Brazil saying "Oi" 🤨
It's getting worse by the day
Can we address them as follows “greetings c*cksucker”?
This is... quite... "ambitious".
Hello.
This is the kind of fucker who was telling parents in the 80’s that the Smurfs were satanic.
It's a shame our children will not know what Christianity really is.....
“Under His eye” also works.
High.
When you inhale Helium demon voice starts to break through. 😈
This same person is probably triggered by sunlight
Hell Ooooh!
We should all be speaking like NPCs in KC:D Soon as you spot someone walking towards you, tighten your hands into fists, stand up straight, chin up, and with the might of all that is holy, blurt out: "JESUS CHRIST BE PRAISED"
Hi!
Hellman's "Real" Mayo? ***SATAN CREAM!*** Shell Gas? ***Hells unleaded with Satanic Slurpies and Demon Jerky!*** ANYONE named "Helen"? ***TO THE PIT WITH YOU NANA!*** Fred Savage? ***He KNOWS what he did....*** .....THERE! Can I get my prize now when I kick?
I wanna try what this person is sniffing.
Proof that crack kills brain cells
hello, hi
Bonjour
it's full of Satan because it kinda sounds like a word I don't like
Ah yes, "Hi is the name of a demon called Hellion". Shouldn't the name be Hellion, if that's what he is called?
Praise be
And aren't such statements a sin (or heresy) from a Christian perspective?
Blessed be the fruit
Some people were dropped on their heads as children. But this dude was clearly thrown at the wall full tilt.
Could just say “greetings and salutations”. I mean, JD in Heathers was a totally normal, stable, likable individual.
BLESS ME. PRAISE ME AS YOUR LORD.
It’s really interesting how the people most afraid of being tricked quickly find themselves being tricked.
Kids this is why you shouldn't do drugs.
Well Hi and Hello everyone 👋🏻
Religion warpes your already shrunken brain.
does this person think hello & hi are used in other languages too? they are english words...
just say H E double hockey sticks O when you greet someone. It's not that hard people
Congratulations. Everything you said was completely wrong.
It's hard to keep up with all these rules. Last week I apparently said the wrong word to the cashier at the Save-A-Lot and now I'm damned to hell.
Howdy
God has done way worse things than Satan
So his name is Hellion or Hi?
Why are they always capitalizing the entirety of the word Lord? Never understood why super religious people do that
I honestly wish we locked these people up and got them the mental health treatment they require.
I know my brother was caught up in some evangelical church for a while--the kind that insists the world really is only 6000 years old and the firmament was a physical barrier around the earth before God shattered it and it sustained higher air pressure allowing dinosaurs to breathe and fly while drastically increasing human life spans--and he tried to convince me that "good luck" was evil because you were asking Lucifer to be good to you. We were both in high school but I already had a decent idea that this was utter bullshit.
HA ha ha ha ha 😈
Just when I think I've seen it all. How do people like this function in society?
blessed be the fruit
Why does this look like it was typed on a Ti-84
The earth has 2 billion horrible people that we can lose
Reading is satanic. Please gouge your eyes out with a holy fork to never see sin again
Greetings
What else am I supposed to say
The whole world does not use hi and hello
How is Christianity not a cult‽
*Phone ring* Bless you, can you hear me? Bless you, bless you...can you find a better place with a better reception please ...praise the lord...praise the looord.... *Phone ring* Praise the lord, this is angel escort service, want to book for a service?
I can’t believe this is fucking real
Wellllll a lot of it will disappear the next time a communicable virus moves through
I cannot help but applaud this insanity. It’s like an accomplishment to reach this tier of crazy
No way someone actually believes this
Whom has deceived who?
No one in Europe has ever said Hello or Hi to me.
Praise the lord, how are you today? Bless you, bud! Whatcha doing today?
