00:00:00.000 I would also like to point out, too, that universalism has a tendency to create that what you started, you know, said is that, you know, there is this kind of everything else is not us.
00:00:12.840 But it's not only just that it's it's evil. And so universalism has a tendency to give the all or nothing caveat based on their faith.
00:00:23.180 you're either with them or you're against them um and i think that a lot of people don't understand
00:00:29.820 that folk faiths are there's an understanding that there are other people there are other things or
00:00:37.100 other forces and what truly makes those things the antithesis against you is their deeds their
00:00:43.180 actions the way things are led about so acting nobly in our faith does extend 100 to our own
00:00:52.300 to our people but it also exemplifies the deeds we do to anyone else is is we are noble people
00:00:58.700 so we will act nobly and i think that that's a different um preset that a lot of people don't
00:01:08.220 think they they think of the the political hot button issue so it's immediately it's villainous
00:01:13.180 or or or what have you and in a lot of ways the people that are telling you that stuff
00:01:17.660 need it to be that way to substantiate either their existence or the the framework of their
00:01:22.620 ideology which might be universal say like in christianity or islam or might be universal in
00:01:27.980 a political sense like um with perhaps like communalism and things like that and so these
00:01:33.340 people need desperately to have that the the outside you know evil demonic sinful forces to
00:01:42.620 propagate and spread their um their ideology and whereas i think for us we we want to keep it
00:01:51.580 within our people we want our children to know the stories of our ancestors there's no
00:01:55.660 differentiation between the past to the future we are part of those building blocks but we're not
00:02:03.420 trying to step that into other people's lives and i think that a lot of people at least find
00:02:09.740 uh that as one of the greatest misunderstandings of our faith especially from the aussitrew folk
00:02:15.020 assembly because the way he he posited the question was uh in aussitrew and and and again
00:02:21.500 you said uh very well is that you the aussitrew folk assembly allows us to create our inner guard
00:02:29.980 which is a very important factor in our faith and um all peoples can define themselves by the
00:02:38.860 by their titles or you know some some churches and things like that will define themselves based on
00:02:44.460 who they they try to bring into their congregations whether it's you know economically
00:02:49.900 or linguistically or what have you people do it all the time ours is based on those you know four
00:02:56.060 precepts.
