I can't believe Mainworry got this wrong...actually I can believe it.\n\nAmen:This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16,\nthe Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of\nAmen." It is frequently used by our Savior to give emphasis to his words,\nwhere it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it\nis repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus Christ\n(Rev. 3:14). It is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of prayers (Ps.\n41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the fulfillment of them.\nIt is used in token of being bound by an oath (Num. 5:22; Deut. 27:15-26; Neh.\n5:13; 8:6; 1 Chr. 16:36). In the primitive churches it was common for the\ngeneral audience to say "Amen" at the close of the prayer (1 Cor. 14:16). The\npromises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2 Cor. 1:20).\n\nI will say this though. The Common English translations of the word amen include: "Verily", "Truly", "So be it", and "Let it be".\nBut you wanted to know where it originate.\nAnd also the Wikipedia definitions could have been put in there by anyone.

Taoist concepts, beliefs and practices:\n\nTao is the first-cause of the universe. It is a force that flows through all life. \n\n"The Tao surrounds everyone and therefore everyone must listen to find enlightenment." \n\nEach believer's goal is to become one with the Tao. \n\nTaoism has provided an alternative to the Confucian tradition in China. The two traditions have coexisted in the country, region, and generally within the same individual. \n\nThe priesthood views the many gods as manifestations of the one Dao, "which could not be represented as an image or a particular thing." The concept of a personified deity is foreign to them, as is the concept of the creation of the universe. Thus, they do not pray as Christians do; there is no God to hear the prayers or to act upon them. They seek answers to life's problems through inner meditation and outer observation. \n\nIn contrast with the beliefs and practices of the priesthood, most of the laity have  "believed that spirits pervaded nature...The gods in heaven acted like and were treated like the officials in the world of men; worshipping the gods was a kind of rehearsal of attitudes toward secular authorities. On the other hand, the demons and ghosts of hell acted like and were treated like the bullies, outlaws, and threatening strangers in the real world; they were bribed by the people and were ritually arrested by the martial forces of the spirit officials." 3 \nTime is cyclical, not linear as in Western thinking. \nTaoists strongly promote health and vitality. \n\nFive main organs and orifices of the body correspond to the five parts of the sky: water, fire, wood, metal and earth. \nEach person must nurture the Ch'i (air, breath) that has been given to them. \n\nDevelopment of virtue is one's chief task. The Three Jewels to be sought are compassion, moderation and humility. \n\nTaoists follow the art of "wu wei," which is to let nature take its course. For example, one should allow a river to flow towards the sea unimpeded; do not erect a dam which would interfere with its natural flow. \n\nOne should plan in advance and consider carefully each action before making it. \n\nA Taoists is kind to other individuals, in part because such an action tends to be reciprocated. \n\nTaoists believe that "people are compassionate by nature...left to their own devices [they] will show this compassion without expecting a reward."

That depends.   According to Greek legend one could become a deity by eating the food and drink of the gods (Ambrosia and Nectar).   Also, if one was a direct descendant of a deity one could be given godhood by the gods themselves upon ones death (like Herculese).\n\nAccording to Chinese legend.   One could become deified by living a suitibly exemplary life.\n\nSome have even believed that once a person dies, the can become a deity if others worship them as such after they are dead, something akin to Shinto and Shamanistic ancestor worship.\n\nSome ancient mystics (and even a few modern ones) believed that a person could ascend to godhood by acquiring a sufficient amount of knowledge and power.   Of course I do not personally know of anyone that has succeeded in that.\n\nThose are the main ways that I am aware of that a person could become a deity.   This list only scratches the surface as there are a number of other ways as well in many cultures as well as some that I am certainly unaware of.
