pinhead1337 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Might sound like a stupid question but do we think its a coincidence that good sounds like god, and evil isnt far off devil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Yes, it's a total coincidence, just like it's a coincidence that God is dog backwards and Devil is lived backwards. I can't be bothered going into the etymology, but it is a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boojum Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 The word God comes from Sanskrit. The word devil comes from Greek. The word good comes from ancient Gothic. The word evil comes from ancient Germanic. There is no relation between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
