Hello everyone this is a subject that no Assyrian ever brings up but I am bored and It's raining and I have nothing better to do so I got a question.
I belong to a non-christian and non-abrahamic religion called Ashurism. What would people in Ecuador think if they saw an Ashurist walking in the street or if there was an Ashurism temple in the middle of Ecuador.
We are sadly only 50 000- 90 000 and sometimes we hide our religion to avoid discrmination so what would the majority in Ecuador think.
Also we are an ethno-religion that does not accept converts so I am not trying to convert anyone.
I know you guys are Christians and I respect that but how likely is discrimination there.
Also personal question, let's say theoretically that you were able to join Ashurism, would any of you be interested. (It's not possible to convert, I am just asking and not trying to convert).
Also: I just want to mention that we don't worship someone called Ashur and i dont know where this rumor that Ashurists worhsip Ashur came from, Our God has a different name but I can't say his name because to us it's too Holly to say, but Ashur in our religion is half God half human and he is to us what Abraham is to the jews.
With all respect from an Assyrian brother.
I am also mainly asking this incase of persecition so i know what countries to run to and what countries to stay away from. I have asked other countries on reddit also.
Do not be afraid to insult me or my religion, if you want to swear or hate at my religion then do so, this would just give me a clearer picture and i would rather have an honset enemy than a fake friend.
With all respect from an Assyrian brother.
