J - Still no answers to my questions? Why? Perhaps you can't support your weak arguments. I would have thought a self-proclaimed critical thinker like yourself would be able to defend their positions a little better than you have. Guess I was wrong.

-- The fact that we are Albanians in Kosova today is the argument of non-assimilation. Otherwise we'd be Serbs. If you can't comprehend such a simple thing then there's no hope.

What's your opinion on Mother Theresa? She's arguably the most famous Albanian world-wide. Do you consider her one of the weak ones because she is a woman of religion? Is she a follower with a 'herd mentality?' I mention her because she is the one Albanian that I can think of that is renowned globally for her humanitarian work. I can't think of anyone who would have anything bad to say about her....except maybe you and your atheist friend icj. Don't worry, just like icj, you've run away from my questions in the past, so I'm sure you'll run away again. Taking the easy way out...an Albanian trait. It's in your blood.

-- njegos, Good for humanitarian work. Don't like the religious side. Famous or not famous doesn't mean anything. She too believed in an imaginary friend in the sky. But even with religion, doesn't mean people can't do any good. Doesn't mean they can't do any bad either. Point is, critical thinking stops when speaking against idea punishes you to eternal damnation. Religion does this. Science doesn't.

??? In 2014, Thaci did as he was told by his American masters & imposed sanctions on Russia............... there won't be much change in Kosovo because America gets every single cent from the coal mines production & is making a lot of money.

But you did. And you became Catholics and you became Muslims when the going got rough.

-- Yet we didn't become Serbs. Even when you killed our kids. We stayed Albanians in Kosova. Keep on with the hysteria, we are still Albanians in Kosova.

Tell me J, what percentage of Kosovo Albanians are Muslim? According to you they're foolish for subscribing to a religion and believing in Allah? Right J? In your world people who don't believe what you believe are sheep following the herd, right? Well, I guess that includes the vast majority of your countrymen from your beloved Kosovo.

-- Nationality and ethnicity first. We change religions like underwear if that means the survival of our nation. Our ethnicity our language is the crux of our survival. That's why priests and imams are a dime a dozen.No religion holds a monopoly over our nation. If one becomes a problem, we change it.

There is no evidence of Albanians being Illyrians. Romans were there too. Does that make Albanians Romans too? It's hard to justify anything you say about an Albanian culture when you can't point to anything tangible. You can only postulate. You're grasping at straws. Keep trying. Too funny!

Our language is the monument that has saved every trace of time from pre Slav Greek, Roman and Illyrian words. Our language places us in the region before the Slavs. The ruins are where we live and they're not Roman nor Greek. Pelion, come visit it, and do the math.

Defend your ethnicity? ...If you were defending anything you would have resisted, not caved in and assimilated.

There's no diatribe. We Albanians can be just Albanians without religion defining our national identity and ethnicity. It's always been that way. If maintaining my ethnicity, and my national identity requires that I as an atheist sign some paperwork that declares me Jewish or Budhist or Orthodox for example, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Because the most important thing is being Albanian and preserving that by all means possible.I know my beliefs no matter what paperwork says. Hence changing religions to defend our ethnicity, our language. Serbs on the other hand seems they can't be Serbs if they're not Orthodox. That is a weak notion of ethnicity. Tying yourself to a religion to survive as a nation, as an ethnicity.Your national identity paradigm is weak as it requires the church to survive. Ours is not and requires no specific religion or any religion at all. That's why even small in numbers we've survived conquerors mostly on our own. Albanian first; the rest are secondary.

(njegos, 4 January 2017 18:05)

Then you used the wrong example. But I'll entertain the idea because if you looked into it using critical thinking you'd have seen yourself why your example was not the right one. You could have for example come up with statistics showing how many Albanians speak Serbian at home as their primary way of communication. Then we could talk about assimilation.
Now back to religion. The vast majority of Albanians view themselves as Albanians first. That is to say religion does not define our identity, ethnicity, nationality. It has been these way since our first principalities when people converted from paganism to monotheistic religions. Mainly because those who have lived in those lands have viewed religions as institutions of those who tried to conquer our lands. Religions were the means of control that foreigners used against us. It is why they're secondary or tertiary to our ethnicity, to our religion. It's why mosques and churches are empty. It's why there's all kinds of religions where we live. It's why ppl didn't care when it was declared illegal.

Being truly religious is actually the hard way.

There is no distinction between science and religion.

The end game of science is belief in God.

Science can prove everything but it sputters out when the concept of INTENTION is introduced.

My ancestors believed in pagan gods and were probably tricked into believing in a Christian God, but numerous generations stayed on the path -- even when it was easier to leave it.

Its not too late for you to get on that path too. Its never too late.

Many Albanians did become Serbs. I personally know many with last names ending in 'ic.' Many more converted to Islam during Ottoman rule. Prior to that Albanians were either Orthodox or Catholic. But rather than stand by their beliefs, Albanians converted to the occupier's religion as the easy way out. I know you're an atheist, but what were your ancestors j? Orthodox, Catholic or Muslim? Did they take the easy way out?

-- njegos, being religious is the easy way out. A religious person looks for easy answers. They don't challange the dogmatic beliefs of the religion, otherwise eternal damnation awaits them. If it was for religious people we would still have the god of rain, god of wine, god of thunder and the other thousand gods. We don't because people challange these beliefs. They were not OK with the easy answers provided by the gods. They thought chritically and solved their ignorance through science.

Watch the Serbs pee their panties prematurely from excitement. There isn't anything new that Thaci hasn't said before - Kosova is no enemy of anyone and he has invited Russia to recognize Kosova multiple times in the past. Nor is there anything wrong with a country's diplomacy reaching out even to those that are hostile, to smooth out foreign relationships; that's what diplomacy is for.

What do you have to say then, about Serbia's relationship to the US after it was bombed for 78 days.

But if you were hoping that Kosova would somehow orient itself towards Moscow instead of EU or US, you will be sorely disappointed.

This is precisely why there is no evidence of Albanian history to speak of because you assimilated to everyone else's culture.

Watch the Serbs pee their panties prematurely from excitement.

Nor is there anything wrong with a country's diplomacy reaching out even to those that are hostile, to smooth out foreign relationships; that's what diplomacy is for.

What do you have to say then, about Serbia's relationship to the US after it was bombed for 78 days.

But if you were hoping that Kosova would somehow orient itself towards Moscow instead of EU or US, you will be sorely disappointed.

Spoken like the Communist children you all are.

Being truly religious is actually the hard way.

The road is narrow and steep

There is no distinction between science and religion.

The end game of science is belief in God.

Science can prove everything but it sputters out when the concept of INTENTION is introduced.

My ancestors believed in pagan gods and were probably tricked into believing in a Christian God, but numerous generations stayed on the path -- even when it was easier to leave it.

Its not too late for you to get on that path too. Its never too late.

True religion has nothing to do with dogma. It is anti-dogmatic.

You can spin it any way you want to make yourself feel good J, but the fact is that your countrymen chose to take the easy way out whenever times got tough.

What's your opinion on Mother Theresa? She's arguably the most famous Albanian world-wide. Do you consider her one of the weak ones because she is a woman of religion? Is she a follower with a 'herd mentality?' I mention her because she is the one Albanian that I can think of that is renowned globally for her humanitarian work. I can't think of anyone who would have anything bad to say about her....except maybe you and your atheist friend icj. Don't worry, just like icj, you've run away from my questions in the past, so I'm sure you'll run away again. Taking the easy way out...an Albanian trait. It's in your blood.

I merely used religion as an example of how your ancestors throughout history chose to assimilate for an easier life.

Now answer my question: were your ancestors Orthodox or Catholic who converted to Muslim? Or were they brave and independent thinkers like you who subscribed to atheism and challenged the status quo? Please answer.
(njegos, 4 January 2017 18:05)

Then you used the wrong example. But I'll entertain the idea because if you looked into it using critical thinking you'd have seen yourself why your example was not the right one. You could have for example come up with statistics showing how many Albanians speak Serbian at home as their primary way of communication. Then we could talk about assimilation.
Now back to religion. The vast majority of Albanians view themselves as Albanians first. That is to say religion does not define our identity, ethnicity, nationality. It has been these way since our first principalities when people converted from paganism to monotheistic religions. Mainly because those who have lived in those lands have viewed religions as institutions of those who tried to conquer our lands. Religions were the means of control that foreigners used against us. It is why they're secondary or tertiary to our ethnicity, to our religion. It's why mosques and churches are empty. It's why there's all kinds of religions where we live. It's why ppl didn't care when it was declared illegal.

You go on to say, "Hence changing religions to defend our ethnicity, our language."

Defend your ethnicity? ...If you were defending anything you would have resisted, not caved in and assimilated. That is precisely why there is no evidence of an Albanian culture to speak of even though you guys claim to be the indigenous people of the Balkans. You assimilated to every occupier that crossed your path and now you try to claim that Serbian monasteries built centuries ago are Albanian. Comical!

You can spin it any way you want to make yourself feel good J, but the fact is that your countrymen chose to take the easy way out whenever times got tough. This lack of character has undoubtedly contributed to the fact that Albanians have occupied the lowest rung of every society they've been a part of. So much to be proud of.

Njegos, Albanian Popes. Not such a low rank. We are in Kosova as Albanians. We didn't need to take the easy way out and become Serbs or even Orthodox. We are Albanians in Kosova; not assimilated Serbs in Kosova. Lands where Albanians live are filled with Pre-Slavic archaeological sites. Albanian is a pre- Slavic language littered with ancient Greek and Illyrian words. You do the math. You have no arguments. I'm proud to be an atheist, you're not hurting me by calling me out.

There's no diatribe. We Albanians can be just Albanians without religion defining our national identity and ethnicity. It's always been that way. If maintaining my ethnicity, and my national identity requires that I as an atheist sign some paperwork that declares me Jewish or Budhist or Orthodox for example, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Because the most important thing is being Albanian and preserving that by all means possible.I know my beliefs no matter what paperwork says. Hence changing religions to defend our ethnicity, our language. Serbs on the other hand seems they can't be Serbs if they're not Orthodox. That is a weak notion of ethnicity. Tying yourself to a religion to survive as a nation, as an ethnicity.Your national identity paradigm is weak as it requires the church to survive. Ours is not and requires no specific religion or any religion at all. That's why even small in numbers we've survived conquerors mostly on our own. Albanian first; the rest are secondary.

This Ramazan Kadirov is also welcome if he can help things getting better and things wont get better dividing Kosovo I think. Rote Thaci is also very hard and criticizes Albanians when we deserve it. Do you know what was his answer when all Albanians claimed to be veterans of war?

Watch the Serbs pee their panties prematurely from excitement. There isn't anything new that Thaci hasn't said before - Kosova is no enemy of anyone and he has invited Russia to recognize Kosova multiple times in the past. Nor is there anything wrong with a country's diplomacy reaching out even to those that are hostile, to smooth out foreign relationships; that's what diplomacy is for.

What do you have to say then, about Serbia's relationship to the US after it was bombed for 78 days.

But if you were hoping that Kosova would somehow orient itself towards Moscow instead of EU or US, you will be sorely disappointed.

This is precisely why there is no evidence of Albanian history to speak of because you assimilated to everyone else's culture. Now Albanians are trying to claim that Serb monasteries built centuries ago are Albanian. Absurd! And the claim that Albanians are descendants of the ancient Illyrians is not supported by any legitimate historian.

Assimilation = conversion = no history! Bye

Looks like 'Kosova' is orienting itself towards Turkey instead, not so different to Muslim Bosnia. If it's a smart move future will tell, I don't think so.

I merely used religion as an example of how your ancestors throughout history chose to assimilate for an easier life.

Now answer my question: were your ancestors Orthodox or Catholic who converted to Muslim? Or were they brave and independent thinkers like you who subscribed to atheism and challenged the status quo? Please answer.
(njegos, 4 January 2017 18:05)

Then you used the wrong example. But I'll entertain the idea because if you looked into it using critical thinking you'd have seen yourself why your example was not the right one. You could have for example come up with statistics showing how many Albanians speak Serbian at home as their primary way of communication. Then we could talk about assimilation.
Now back to religion. The vast majority of Albanians view themselves as Albanians first. That is to say religion does not define our identity, ethnicity, nationality. It has been these way since our first principalities when people converted from paganism to monotheistic religions. Mainly because those who have lived in those lands have viewed religions as institutions of those who tried to conquer our lands. Religions were the means of control that foreigners used against us. It is why they're secondary or tertiary to our ethnicity, to our religion. It's why mosques and churches are empty. It's why there's all kinds of religions where we live. It's why ppl didn't care when it was declared illegal.

There's no diatribe. We Albanians can be just Albanians without religion defining our national identity and ethnicity. It's always been that way. If maintaining my ethnicity, and my national identity requires that I as an atheist sign some paperwork that declares me Jewish or Budhist or Orthodox for example, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Because the most important thing is being Albanian and preserving that by all means possible.I know my beliefs no matter what paperwork says. Hence changing religions to defend our ethnicity, our language. Serbs on the other hand seems they can't be Serbs if they're not Orthodox. That is a weak notion of ethnicity. Tying yourself to a religion to survive as a nation, as an ethnicity.Your national identity paradigm is weak as it requires the church to survive. Ours is not and requires no specific religion or any religion at all. That's why even small in numbers we've survived conquerors mostly on our own. Albanian first; the rest are secondary.

In science the heretics are celebrated. Copernicus is an example. Celebrated for his critical thinking, and his heresy against the scientific ignorance of that time. How are the heretics treated by religion for their critical thinking? Giordano Bruno comes to mind-burned to death.

J - Still no answers to my questions? Why? Perhaps you can't support your weak arguments. I would have thought a self-proclaimed critical thinker like yourself would be able to defend their positions a little better than you have. Guess I was wrong.

-- The fact that we are Albanians in Kosova today is the argument of non-assimilation. Otherwise we'd be Serbs. If you can't comprehend such a simple thing then there's no hope.

What's your opinion on Mother Theresa? She's arguably the most famous Albanian world-wide. Do you consider her one of the weak ones because she is a woman of religion? Is she a follower with a 'herd mentality?' I mention her because she is the one Albanian that I can think of that is renowned globally for her humanitarian work. I can't think of anyone who would have anything bad to say about her....except maybe you and your atheist friend icj. Don't worry, just like icj, you've run away from my questions in the past, so I'm sure you'll run away again. Taking the easy way out...an Albanian trait. It's in your blood.

-- njegos, Good for humanitarian work. Don't like the religious side. Famous or not famous doesn't mean anything. She too believed in an imaginary friend in the sky. But even with religion, doesn't mean people can't do any good. Doesn't mean they can't do any bad either. Point is, critical thinking stops when speaking against idea punishes you to eternal damnation. Religion does this. Science doesn't.

So now you're calling all Albanian Muslims idiots because they subscribe to a religion? And I guess you must also feel the same way about the fanatical Croats who tried to make their beloved Croatia an exclusively catholic state by forcibly converting tens of thousands of Serbs during WWII.

Just because someone doesn't believe the way you do icj doesn't make them an idiot. Where does all of your hate come from? Next time you call someone a name, look in the mirror first.

j,

Spoken like the Communist children you all are.

Being truly religious is actually the hard way.

The road is narrow and steep

There is no distinction between science and religion.

The end game of science is belief in God.

Science can prove everything but it sputters out when the concept of INTENTION is introduced.

My ancestors believed in pagan gods and were probably tricked into believing in a Christian God, but numerous generations stayed on the path -- even when it was easier to leave it.

Its not too late for you to get on that path too. Its never too late.

True religion has nothing to do with dogma. It is anti-dogmatic.

True religion creates true independent thinking.

Independent thinkers of the world (like many of those below) are not truly independent in their thinking. Instead they are captive to sentiments that True Religion would liberate them from.

And until you walk the winding and steep road, you have no idea what I'm talking about.

J - You said, "There's no diatribe." Then you launched into another one of your atheistic diatribes again.

You go on to say, "Hence changing religions to defend our ethnicity, our language."

Defend your ethnicity? Are you and icj the same person? I thought he/she was the master of obfuscation, deflection and deception but you give him/her a run for their money. If you were defending anything you would have resisted, not caved in and assimilated. That is precisely why there is no evidence of an Albanian culture to speak of even though you guys claim to be the indigenous people of the Balkans. You assimilated to every occupier that crossed your path and now you try to claim that Serbian monasteries built centuries ago are Albanian. Comical!

You can spin it any way you want to make yourself feel good J, but the fact is that your countrymen chose to take the easy way out whenever times got tough. This lack of character has undoubtedly contributed to the fact that Albanians have occupied the lowest rung of every society they've been a part of. So much to be proud of. No run along an answer my questions.

From J: "We didn't need to take the easy way out and become Serbs or even Orthodox."

But you did. And you became Catholics and you became Muslims when the going got rough. Tell me J, what percentage of Kosovo Albanians are Muslim? According to you they're foolish for subscribing to a religion and believing in Allah? Right J? In your world people who don't believe what you believe are sheep following the herd, right? Well, I guess that includes the vast majority of your countrymen from your beloved Kosovo.

More from J: "Lands where Albanians live are filled with Pre-Slavic archaeological sites. Albanian is a pre- Slavic language littered with ancient Greek and Illyrian words."

There is no evidence of Albanians being Illyrians. Romans were there too. Does that make Albanians Romans too? It's hard to justify anything you say about an Albanian culture when you can't point to anything tangible. You can only postulate. You're grasping at straws. Keep trying. Too funny!
