10. No such thing as Absolute Belief in Assyrianism

There is no such thing as serving two Gods. You either have an absolute faith in God or an absolute faith in Assyrianism. The only reason I say that is because God is eternal and constant, whereas every other thing in the world (due to our limited perceptions) is changing. Matter, time, space, theory, idea, notion, these are all changing based on how we perceive constructs and how that changes when understanding historicity and language. What we know can never be proven. We cannot prove anything.

Our belief in God is a gift from God, it does not come from us. That is why we can believe in Him, not because we decide to go to church and be Christians but because he chooses us and gives us life through the word of God.

Believing in an Assyrian ideology is not empirical, as nothing is empirical. What you are doing is chosing one point of our evolution as a people and you are expanding it to say that this is fundamentally, empirically, irreducibly who we are. But, lets face it, no human is fixed. No human in the world limits themselves with such ideology. A mexican does not say, I'm a mexican, I follow the politics of the PRI, this is who I am till the day I die. These are fanciful notions because people are subject to change with a function of time. You, Albert, may believe these things and guess what, tomorrow you may change your mind. I may change my mind and say "Assyrianism is life" but that is all a product of the fanciful and flippant thinking humans are subject to because of our limited abilities to think.

In invoking the word 'absolute belief' you are digging a grave for yourself. There is no such thing as an absolute belief in anything, pick up a physics textbook and check out how time and space alone can bend. But, like I said, we can have an absolute belief in God only because that belief does not germinate from us but is given to us by God (that's in the bible).

To sum up, you have made many flaws in your arguments:
1. Assyrian national ideology is the absolute believing in Assyrianism
2. Assyrianism is the faith in the assyrian National Ideology that had approved our real national values for thousands of years....
3. The national faith in our case
is on top of our
priorities, and through the faith,
our priorities organically are linked
to form our national values.
4.The national faith should direct Assyrians
to beleive in their nation
as one people, one name.
5. too many others to list.....

You, Albert, are part of an ethnic minority without a country. You want your own country, your own language in that country with your own ethnic title and then you'll be happy. Do you also want to resort to extreme nationalism and warfare, that characterized our glorious ancestors? I mean, they did have a great empire because of their 'Assyrianism'. This meant that countless lives had to be lost because that is part and parcel of nationalism and conquering land and territory. Do you want to revert to these primal practices?

I'm still quite scared about your ideology. Your ideology is similar to a Napoleonic ideology, that is, heavy nationalism and a call to advance our nation before others. Napoleon made France the center of the world and ventured to conquer Europe. The development of nationalism, this deep love for ideologies, bred all kinds of wars in France, Germany, Eastern Europe, and in post-colonialist Africa. Nationalism breeds wars (competition for land and scarce resources) and mass murders. What was the Third Reich about? What was Mussolini about? What was Franco about? What was Tito about? What was Castro about?

All these men decided that land, independence, advancement of peoples or ideologies superceded their belief in God. THey chose to kill and murder to advance the name of their country mercillesly, and only for self-aggradizement.

Your ideology is nationalistic and isolationist, and comes in a headlong crash against the new wave of politics, globalization. This means every person is so interconnected with the other that invoking things like supremacy of one race or the absolute needs of one race can cause the next world war.

You have a dangerous ideology.
