Athiest,

The first few lines of your response was fair and to the point, and I was going to respond to it. But then the second half just threw me off:

"I know you will counter this by saying that "Assyrian" is an ethnic/national name and therefore an Assyrian today can be Christian and still be Assyrian...like an American can be Jewish, Muslim, Christian or none of the above....but you people always want it every which way...if Assyrian is truly a national name then any Muslim can be Assyrian....right?

In brief...you have invented a nationally for yourselves and adopted a Jewish religion...which you claim makes no difference at all to your continuing to be Assyrian...but there is no recognized or accepted Assyrian nationality...if you live in America you are American...and if you follow Christ you are Christian, not Jewish or Muslim and certainly not Assyrian....simple, no?

You people are Nestorian Christians, mostly, whoīve meerely tacked on the word "Assyrian" to your Nestorian culture and now want to call THAT "Assyrian". Just as you did with your Nestorian, Church of the East churches in 1976, when the word "Assyrian" was added on.

Itīs a cute bit of trickery, but no more than that."

What in the world is that about? Which part of it is related to my simple question? In other words, seriously, are you normal?
