Anyone that tells you there is no God is delusional (or at least full of an insane amount of hubris), but anyone who tells you there IS a God but you gotta pay to know him is the enemy.

It's called a suffix (or sometimes a morpheme) it's not a word that means anything on its own. When you add it to a word it alters the meaning but it is not a word in itself (like a compound word), but even morphemes come from SOMEWHERE. It's the same with the word "Amazement", does that mean a...
