BRIEFLY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN ARMENIA

The present government of Armenia, under the leadership of the infamous madman Nikol Pashinyan, has made the decision to cede some Armenian territory to Azerbaijan, a neighboring country that has relentlessly waged war against Armenia for decades, leaving scars of loss and anguish in its wake. On April 19, the Armenian and Azerbaijani border demarcation commissions agreed to initiate border demarcation proceedings starting from the Tavush region. The delineation of the border sections will be based on coordinates clarified through geodetic measurements on-site, with completion expected by May 15th, 2024. Representatives of the Armenian Prime Minister announced that, as a consequence, Azerbaijan would gain control over 2.5 villages, purportedly leading to a reduction in security risks for the Republic of Armenia. This decision has been likened to extending a hand to a voracious beast in the hope that it will miraculously abandon its predatory instincts and refrain from further aggression. Those familiar with the historical tensions between these nations recognize this as the initial step toward Armenia's capitulation. Since April 19, residents of Tavush border villages, supported by demonstrators from across the country, have been staging protests along the Armenia-Georgia interstate road. Despite these protests, 35 border posts have already been erected along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Opponents of the border delimitation, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, head of the Diocese of Tavush, are marching from Kirants—one of the affected villages—to Yerevan in an attempt to halt the border demarcation process. Archbishop Bagrat Sacrosanct previously declared that the movement would reach Yerevan by the afternoon of May 9, where they will present specific demands to the government. The participants demand an end to the concessionary policy and unilateral concessions endorsed by the government, which will, without a shadow of a doubt, endanger the safety of Armenians and Armenia as an independent country. Hence, every single one of us needs to be politically conscious. Who knows? Perhaps one day your leader, too, will decide to sell parts of your country to your enemy.

In early March 2024, Azerbaijan demanded that Armenia hand over eight villages along the two countries’ borders. To avoid a new war, Yerevan agreed to transfer four villages to Azerbaijani control; the border delimitation process is now underway. Local residents, however, oppose the decision; they want Armenia to refuse to concede any territory and have appealed to international human rights organizations for help. Photographer Egor Kirillov traveled to the border village of Kirants, which is still Armenian territory, to photograph residents’ fight against the transfer.

PM Pashinyan Meets Border Villagers to Discuss Transfer of Land to Azerbaijan

TAVUSH — Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met on Monday with concerned residents of two villages in Armenia’s northern Tavush province adjacent to border areas which are part of delimitation process discussions with Azerbaijan. The statement prompted serious concern from residents of several Tavush villages that would be affected by the withdrawal. The villagers say they would lose access to their land, have trouble communicating with the rest of the country and be far more vulnerable from Azerbaijani armed attacks. Pashinyan visited two of those border villages, Voskepar and Kirants, and spent more than three hours discussing the issue with locals…

Mundhum Trail trek | Mundhum trek

The Mundhum Trail Trek recently discovered and freshly proposed in eastern Nepal, is a journey of remarkable wonder and opportunity. At the heart of the trek is the holy scripture of Kirant Believers, known as the Mundum. Trekkers will find the trek particularly noteworthy because of the captivating and endearing beauty of the sub-alpine zone and the high Himalayas, including Mt. Makalu and Mt. Kanchenjungha.

Theologic Belief Systems World-Wide

According to Whom?

by Martin Ginsburg

The World's Major Religions and Their Interaction with the Foundational Principles of the United States of America:

United States Constitution (emphasis added)

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment XIV

Section 1.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

When discussing "G_D given rights" or created by G_D, to which of these belief systems do the laws and rules of the United States ascribe the will of G_D?

Agnosticism;

Animism;

Atheism;

Badimo;

Baha'i;

B'nai Noakh;

Buddhism;

Cao Dai;

Chondogyo;

Christianity;

Confucianism;

Hinduism;

Inuit beliefs;

Islam;

Jainism;

Judaism;

Kimbanguism;

Kirant;

Modekngei;

Paganism;

Philosophy (and if so, which school?);

Physics;

Rastafarianism;

Santeria;

Shamanism;

Shintoism;

Sikhism;

Spiritualism;

Taoism;

Voodoo/Vodun;

Zoroastrianism.

Many of these faith models have not only conflicts with other faith models but some have glaring conflicts within their own model. IF a particular faith model is determined to be the foundational system to be used in the United States to determine G_D given rights, how do we apply the Constitutional edict of "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" without establishing a state religion or prohibiting the free exercise of the religions of others?

In the recent spate of Primary Elections around the country several friends and I have noticed that a seemingly increasing number of candidates refer to "G_D given rights". Being adherents to a variety of faiths we began to discuss which of our belief systems are the deity to which each of these candidates refer. If they are actually discussing Constitutional rights, would that not be the appropriate source to cite as having provided these rights?

While there are multiple arguments in these plain English language amendments related to civil rights that have never actually been addressed as such by the Supreme Court of the United States, this current writing is intended only to address religiosity in this country through the lens of Constitutional language.

The phrasing of these amendments requires that no single, or group of, religious doctrine(s) be the defining characteristic or foundation of any law as such characteristic or foundation is a de facto elevation of one religious perspective over all other belief systems.

The logical outflow, therefore, is that the law must be secular to avoid any violation of the establishment phrase. By way of example; in a nascent nation, even while still under control of a sovereign, variations or adaptations in rules were an accepted custom to show respect for and deference to those not holding the most common religious beliefs of the time.

While the history of the United States government is replete with discriminatory practices specifically related to the theology of those in minority positions, this is and has ever been the law of the United States and in a plain English understanding has no alternative interpretation.

Such a position leaves this country with requirement for a secular system of laws and rules to ensure no one theology is given preferential consideration or placement over or above any other. Essentially; the definition of "Life" must, Constitutionally, be universally applicable, just as are all laws comporting with the language of the U.S. Constitution.

With all its flaws and even its fanatical adherents; science in its original form, unsullied by the infusion of personal goals, beliefs, or points of view, is the most consistent with a means to identify and define the characteristics or foundations of secular societal organization.

The science of mathematics for example; teaches that while not all is knowable, reliable estimates of reality may be made and remain flexible in the face of new data as it becomes available. Those who hold out all such information as immutable truth fail to recognize the inherent fallibility of such a conclusion. For example, in mathematics 1+1 always equals 2 until an alternative proof comes to light.

In those fields not amenable to the scientific method, the best information available is never more than a reasonable conclusion based upon observation, whether extensive or facially inadequate. While helpful in guiding a society, it is important to remember that such conclusions are not proof, nor are they immutable.

Even physics suffers from a flaw that many scientists report as existing in theologically based arguments. Based upon the Laws of Thermodynamics, matter and energy may not be created or destroyed so where did G_D come from? The obvious follow-on question is: where did the matter and energy making up universe come from? Neither is currently knowable. The beauty of theology is that comfort is found in one's belief system without regard to its consistency or inconsistency with the belief systems of others. The beauty of science as originally practiced is that questioning the known is never-ending in pursuit of broader knowledge and understanding.

While my faith perspective comforts me with a belief that I understand why this world is as it is, it is my fundamental curiosity that keeps me searching science to try to learn how it is constructed and what I might do to improve the lot of those coming after me.

Whatever your faith; I wish you well, and hope Peace and Justice find you.

Do you mind if I add a link to it at the end of the fic?

Link for others to see too!

thinking about the story behind Kirants Monastery:

The story behind Kirants is extraordinary. This church, unlike most monasteries built in Armenia, is constructed mostly of brick and mortar. "Kir" is the word for mortar. "-ants" brings meaning that the previous word has "passed" the level, or is not level or uneven. The village had one very rich man who had one very beautiful daughter. A master craftsman and mason had fallen in love with the daughter and she with him. However, he came from a very poor family and he knew that he would have a difficult time convincing her father to allow him to have her hand in marriage. He tried nonetheless and the rich man said he would give his blessing if he the craftsmen well known for his talents would build him a church in the village. The craftsman agreed and built the beautiful church. He was on the top of the "drum or dome" and near completion of the church when the rich man came to see how things were coming along. The Craftsman asked the rich man "how does the church look?" the rich man responded by saying it looks great but "kiren antsa" or the line of the brick and mortar looks uneven. From this statement the craftsman, who was so excited that the church would be finished and he could marry his love, realized that the rich man had no intention to grant his daughters hand in marriage and jumps from the "drum or dome" taking his own life.

alternately, as my tour guide told it: "yeah the rich guy didn't want to pay the craftsman and he was really old so he didn't want him marrying his daughter either. so he just waited until he was almost finished and then pushed him off the roof"
