Any non-religious Assyrians here?

There is this Facebook page called Assyrian Agnostics and Atheists (AAA) and it had around 40+ users, which is not much sadly. I just found it very hard to believe that there were other Assyrians who are Irreligious - like myself.  :)

When I was a Christian, I used to be very pressured with the bible stuff. I just doubted a lot of biblical events like the flood, miracles, resurrections, talking snakes/donkeys, etc.  :blink: It wasn't something possible to believe in. And the doubting thing was around two years ago, before I become an Agnostic.

:angelnot: I was a pretty strong, bible-believing Christian. I found high interest in Catholicism in my early teen years, but in the latter years I thought it was too complex and strict, so I turned to Protestantism because they seemed more of a happy, outgoing group. Oh, I never really liked our Assyrian church as it boring, depressing and daunting experience - it also had too many gossipers, sad people and hypocrites.

When I was a Protestant I was quite happy and entertained in their churches, but then I was like "sure, Protestantism may be fun, but the bible?". I had an interest with evolution - such as astronomy, geology, biology, etc. And most of them just went against the bible's teachings. I just found evolution to make more sense because it had EVIDENCE and sources everywhere - which is something the bible lacked.

Right now I feel more free and open minded; I don't need to be scared of spirits, the devil and other superstitious things the bible has wrought.

Are you, or do you know any Assyrian who is, an Agnostic/Atheist?

There is no such thing as a ?non-religious? anyone.  ALL are religious in one way or another.

Take for example your religion of choice, the religion of suppression (falsely known as ?atheism?).

You and I both KNOW God exists,  He has made Himself know to both of us I choose to acknowledge His evidence while you have chosen to suppress those very same proofs.  You know those proofs are there yet you tell yourself ?they are not? & reach for the stars while you are still in the basement.

I will also add, your rejection of the God of the Bible & acceptance of ?evolution? has NOTHING TO DO WITH ?EVEDIENCE?. 

To proclaim the non-existence of God would be on the same level of denying the existence of water while you are surfing.

Good day!

Welcome to AVN & I Hope you enjoy your stay here... The Forum is not as active as it used to be few years a go but You Should still have a good time!!!


In Relation to the Facebook Page, I also have a page for Christians called " Jesus Christ Daily" which has over 2000 members, Which I am sure not all of them are believers So I will Try to send some of them your way lool


If your looking for Atheist Assyrians, AVN is the biggest place you will find on the Entire Web... There are heaps of them here... The Majority are Young Educated & Respectful people with an exception to a few minorities who are Retards and you can tell from the way they address people!!! I Encourage you to hang around here and make lots of Friends!!!

In Terms of what you mentioned about your religious experience, Allow me to tell you and with all Due respect that You have never had a Genuine Faith at any Stage of your life, because if you Did, you would not have abandonded the Faith that had Given you Life.

People that go to Protestant Churches often Stay in the Faith because of the Strong and Solid Teachings of the Bible. Speaking of the Bible, It is a Spiritual book, so unless you exercise complete Faith in it, You won't ever understand it!!!


Unlike yourself, I don't see a conflict of Interest between the Bible & Science. I come from a Scientific Background and my dad is a Scientist ( Atheist ). So whilst Science is an Awesome Tool in Today's Society, it can never replace the Moral teachings of the Bible, nor can it ever give you a 100% Proof that GOD does not Exists....


Enjoy your Stay here :)

That's an odd and rather biased statement. You sit here all day, don't pray, say there aren't Gods, etc, they're still religious? That's ridiculous.

Take for example your religion of choice, the religion of suppression (falsely known as ?atheism?).

The suppressed religion will be Islam, Hinduism and even some forms of Christianity. We are free of religion and scary biblical thoughts of hell and satan, so how are we suppressed?

You and I both KNOW God exists,  He has made Himself know to both of us I choose to acknowledge His evidence while you have chosen to suppress those very same proofs.  You know those proofs are there yet you tell yourself ?they are not? & reach for the stars while you are still in the basement.

I know God doesn't exist just like I know Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy don't - no proof or evidence. How about I say we both know he does NOT exist? You haven't seen him, felt him, touched him, etc. We haven't seen, felt, our brain but we know it exists because of CAT scans and such. Only a fool brings up the stupid brain argument. So don't ever think of that one.

I will also add, your rejection of the God of the Bible & acceptance of ?evolution? has NOTHING TO DO WITH ?EVEDIENCE?.

Read some science and geology books. Look at our Earth's history through its rock and digging - how there are no humans any deep in our ground, and how fish and reptiles were more perverse in the deepest of the rocks (with no human fossil at all). There's your evidence. Also, it's because of science you're sitting on a computer right now.  :)

If you love & believe in God so much then why do people study medicine or use medicine? Just pray it out - Let him do the work. Oh wait, yeah, because he doesn't exist.

To proclaim the non-existence of God would be on the same level of denying the existence of water while you are surfing.

You're making me mad now, seriously. Everyone can see, feel, touch water.

You are getting ridiculous now. I mean, believe in God, but don't bring up such tedious comparisons.
 
I stumbled on this joke of a post and couldn't help but think of one of my favorite quotes:

The belief that there was nothing and nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason, creating everything and then a bunch of everything magically rearranged itself for no reason what so ever into self-replicating bits which then turned into dinosaurs.

Makes perfect sense.

All joking aside, the main argument atheists make is that they are men of science and religious people are backwards and don't believe in facts/science. This could not be further from the truth. The fact is, science is religions little brother trying to catch up.

Some of the top men of science believed in God. Sir Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle,  Gregor Mendel, Galileo, Kepler, Copernicus, and many more! Atheists love facts... those are some facts to swallow.

Merry Christmas

You're talking about scientists that lived before the 1700s. Society was religiously stricter and was no different to modern day Saudi Arabia and Iran, where, if you dropped from Christianity you'd be executed by the Church. These scientists assuredly questioned their religion, but they were scared enough to go further.

No Atheist has ever denied the fact that they were Christian. And they shouldn't anyway - Europe was immensely Christian in the middle ages and the Renaissance. You weren't even allowed to be a Pagan. Every scientist and such in THOSE TIMES had to start out as a Christian. Again, Europe was very Christian, just like how Iran is very Muslim.

It was in the late 1800s where scientists had the freedom to "come out" and become Agnostic, Atheist (Darwin, Einstein, etc).

I hope you understand me.
 
For those of you who are looking into the credibility of the Christian faith, there are many articles, videos, and books which help you understand Christian historicity and accuracy. There is still debate among scholars about some events in the Bible, but there is almost unanimous concensus about the historicity many of these events. I used to be a doubter and came to believe through the evidence I saw. Please don't make a blanket statement and say that there is no evidence for Christianity before actually doing the research to find out. God bless.

Jesus may have existed. Some events in the historical books of the Old Testament may have happened. That doesn't mean the supernatural occurrences in them were a reality.
 
I'm not religious, and neither is my family.... I wish "historians" would stop associating religion. Many Assyrian/Chaldean were anti-Baa'th, thus, Communist, and atheistic, agnostic, or indifferent... But I'd also add that church attendance has gone down every year in the US.

Being a good person is enough... but it's tough.

Um, no, many old threads have been removed (for some reason). Half of them are gone. So I was glad that my first ever post/thread was not deleted.

This forum is very inactive. Who cares if stuff are bumped? And this thread is very important. Like come on...
