AS I HAVE STATED IN PREVIOUS POST,I TRY EACH DAY TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW OR PRACTICE SOME FORM OF PERSONAL EVOLUTION (MENTAL EVOLUTION). SO DURING SOME OF MY RESEARCH, I FOUND THE WORD CRETIN. NOW CURIOUS,(AS I GENERALLY AM,LOL),I WENT TO MY DICTIONARY APP ON MY PHONE (OH MY GOD,I LOVE THIS APP!!). I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I READ THE MEANING,AND HERE GOES IN VERBATIM. CRETIN- 1) A PERSON SUFFERING FROM CRETINISM. 2) A STUPID,OBTUSE,OR MENTALLY DEFECTIVE PERSON. ORIGIN:1770-80;<FRENCH;FRANCO-PROVENCAL CREITIN,CRESTIN HUMAN BEING,LITERALLY,CHRISTIAN(HENCE ONE WHO IS HUMAN DESPITE DEFORMITIES. SO ARE ESSENTIALLY CHRISTIANS BEING CALLED STUPID,OBTUSE,OR MENTALLY DEFECTIVE PEOPLE ? HEY, DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME !! I"M ONLY ASKING ONE TO QUESTION WHAT THEY BELIEVE,WHY THEY BELIEVE AND THE ORIGINS OF THEIR BELIEFS. PEACE
