Religion (split from Q&A)

Re: Religion (split from Q&A)

The recreation of the alphabet was critical to oppose the inevitability of assimilation since the Greek language was the ruling language during that time period much like English is today.

That may have been the motivation for the alphabet then, but it's probable it would have been invented anyhow. However, whatever reason it was invented for, the alphabet is not religious.

When people see God in their institutions and their territory, religion and politics come alive as one. The more homogenous a society's belief, the more potent its force, and the longer it can be held by a single dynasty.

Many writings claim that the alphabet came to Mesrop Mashtots through divine vision. It's a possibility that the people at the time made this up to glorify the history. However, after the creation of the alphabet, literature and culture became the shields of Armenia's defense from other cultures ultimately preserving the Armenian identity. Literature and culture became protectors of the Church and vice versa. If all those events and circumstances didn't occur (fall of the Roman Empire, adoption of Christianity, creation of the alphabet for the church, the church spreading the new religion), defense and eternity of the nation would have been questionable. It is also known that Assyrians had their alphabet earlier than Armenians did, however, their alphabet didn’t become their protector and Assyrians where pushed out of the historical arena.

Here is a quick read on the history of the creation of the Armenian alphabet http://armenianlanguage.org/alphabet/alphabet.html

What if God is extremely old and only speaks Armenian, and our existence is critical to the future of the world which is why some want to destroy us and others want to protect us

That sounds like the hrya argument to me except the armenian part. The pervasivness of narsasism today makes me want to vomit.

I'm certain you're not the only one. But you do realize that is because of the constant attack on Christianity by the hrya controlled media. Even the disney channel is filled with narcassistic characters. Walt would have never approved.

Re: Religion (split from Q&A)

Yes the media has for a while now been working on glamorizing judaist values while knocking down chrysian ones. This strategy is successfull on the new generation which is now self obsessed. Statistics show that the Y generation is the most narcistic generation to have ever lived so it would be no surprise to see these kids embrace judaism vs chrystianity. As you know i do not care for any organised religion but judaism is particularly bothersome because it is a religion based on selfishness which can be very harmful to society in general. Zionism is a good example of the byproduct created by this religion, its racist-selfcentered idealogy is responcible for making much of our planet the hell hole that it is. Its basic beliefe that hryas are the chosen people by god and to hell with everyone else is the epitome of racism-bigetry-discrimination... Out of all the major religions in the world, this one is the most dangerous one and will do the most harm if it spreads.

I agree with you, and I'm curious what parts of judaism you are referring to?
Also, I think zionism uses judaism for its benefit when it fits but zionism is an inherently secular movement and there have been and are clashes between zionist and ultra orthodox joos.

Yes i am aware of these clashes but those opposing zionism are few and weak compared to the zionists. Judaism teaches that xxxs are special they are the "chosen ones", this is the ideology behind zionism.
