The "Amen"s Are a Giant Lie!

When people say "Amen" individually, they're NOT saying "truth!" They're saying (what I was taught in Sunday-school that it meant) 'I believe!' (as if THAT'S what makes the 'truth' TRUE 
)
The only time 'Amen' SHOULD mean that is when the rest of a congregation is (or should be) saying it right with you---more a 'we believe.'
But how should you respond to something said before a congregation that is NOT 'truth?' (like that Mercy Me song "I Can Only Imagine ..."---NOT truth!) Was there a Hebrew word that meant "falsity"? "Abomination"?

Amen can mean whatever. In our church instead of clapping for whatever they like or agree with they say "Amen." I always felt it meant" let it be so" and that is why I say "Amen" at the end of a prayer.
