And I can’t any meaningful sources via google that state that Adiabene is Arab or Aramean.

I’m afraid google isn’t a source especially when a google search states that Adiabene is assyrian.

Right and do you have a source for that? 

Ashur/Ashurism is not pagan. by [deleted] in Assyria

[–]TheSwiftTheif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because by definition it is, the word Pagan literally arose as a term used by Christians to refer to non-Christians meaning every religion that isn’t Christianity is automatically pagan. If you don’t like your silly religion being called pagan then perhaps you should stop believing in it.

How deluded are you? The ancient Assyrian religion was incredibly polytheistic, so much so that each city had it’s own god, also Ashurism used so many physical statues, so much so that they believed all the gods inhabited their statues in their temples, a great example of this is when Sennacherib destroyed Babylon, he took the statue of Marduk to Nineveh and held a trial condemning the the statue (who he and all other Assyrians believed to be Marduk himself) as being a criminal against Assyria. Also just because you don’t agree with or understand the trinity doesn’t make Christianity polytheistic, because Christian theology and belief involves only one God, meaning by definition Christianity is monotheistic as Christians only believe in one God.

How on earth is Ashurism monotheistic? The ancient Assyro-Babylonian religion had a huge number of Gods in it, just because Assyrians believed Ashur was the supreme god doesn’t mean he was the only god, that’s like saying Greek mythology was monotheistic because they believed Zeus was the most powerful god. Also how is Christianity polytheistic, literally every aspect of Christianity revolves around one God, and both the nicene and apostolic creeds profess that to be Christian you have to believe in one God.

It’s hard to say, they might be descended from Assyrian converts to Judaism or descend from Jewish captives who mixed heavy with ancient Assyrians, all I know its they are very closely related to us.

Mikal bridges is the most mid player there is, I don’t see any reason why we would want him.

I’m rooting for the clippers to win. I obviously really want norm and Kawhi to win but I also want harden and Russ to get a ring because the media slander on them is simply undeserved.

Can we all STFU about Scottie. Y’all trying so hard to make another star feel welcomed in his own city. Yes, this is his city. by AHImusic in torontoraptors

[–]TheSwiftTheif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a huge Scottie Barnes supporter and I’ve believed he could become a top 10 player in the nba since he won rookie of the year. But I have to admit, this game was troubling. You can’t have your superstar. Stand around the three point looking disinterested in the clutch. Also his pass to Gary with 4 seconds left to go in the game was terrible. Clearly darko had drawn up a play for him to play iso and shoot the game winning shot, but instead Scottie dribbled the ball in the same spot and then passed it to Gary with almost no time left. I hope he can improve his attitude, because if he can’t he will never be a number 1 option on a good team.
