Stop refering to Assyrians before Christianity as Pagans...alright? The word has an obvious negative connotation. All Pagan means is one who does not believe in Yahweh. And stop getting fuzzy all over the place and saying there is only ONE god, unless you're ready to admit that his name is Ashur.
Strikes you as funny doesn't it...I mean to be SO "silly" as to assert anything of the kind. We all know Yahweh was a pal of Ashur'a, that they hung out together, were twins, easily confused, one with the other. So what's so bad then in being confused with a Jew...or an Arab?
Xactly
Ashur came first. Ashur is still with us...can't help it if the rest of you traded him in for a better model...one that didn't function too well here on earth but will get you great mileage up in the sky.
Wanna buy a bridge in Brooklyn...slightly used?
Sheesh!!!
