3Knowing the origins of this one in particular, and knowing the proper response of congregants to be "and also with you," some friends and I at the opening of Star Wars: Episode III agreed that we would respond accordingly. The joke was on me when they said nothing, and I received angry stares. I was thankful this was still overshadowed by the pre-show impromptu battle between a very rotund Darth Vader and a rather slender Obi-Wan, which resulted in two broken lightsabers.– user6168Commented May 4, 2012 at 19:33

8Also, as I understand it in this blessing "with you" means "not against you" rather than "not absent from you", meaning the the question of the omnipresence of God or midichlorians is not an issue.– DJClayworthCommented May 4, 2012 at 21:00

@DJClayworth, granted, I'm not a Latin scholar, but as far as I know, Latin -cum has pretty much the same range of meanings as English with. In other words, "not against you" is certainly a possible meaning, but it's not the most probable one.– MarthaCommented May 4, 2012 at 21:16

I think debating the precise connotations of a ritualistic blessing removed by at least three translations is both not productive and off-topic; regardless of whether it means immanence or a form of favor or congruence, the Star Wars saying derives from it all the same.– user1030Commented May 4, 2012 at 22:10

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
