How you subscribe to a religion that was forced on your ancestors by whites and used to justify the enslavement of your people for centuries?

Talk about it bible thumping ?

    They are ? and they downright talk ? about voodun ifa/santeria and other african spiritual systems, but want to use some Western Asian copycat religion system. If the bible was to presented for a grade it would get an F in plagarism.

    1. I grew up going to a predominantly black church with self knowledge that Caucasians were not from North Africa where the original Ysraelites migrated to when the Persians and Northern Europeans took over Babylon nor do I believe that white people have hair like wool and tan skin. I don't watch white pastors preach cause 99% of them are controlled by the government to expand the false knowledge of a white Jesus and corruption plus their ancestors were responsible for removing books from the bible.

    2. Don't really think our culture would have been any much better off if we stayed in Africa under a totalitarian type government that believed in enslaving us and selling us in the triangle slave trade to another culture while other cultures were already in fear of any race that's not white. We would have eventually been blown off the map as America is doing with the middle-east so that they can extract all the oil and gold from us and label us as terrorist so ? saved us cause our ancestors are the original Ysraelites.

    3. Christians were being persecuted and murdered in Africa.

    i ain't gonna quote scripture, but it's pointed out quite a few times towards the new testament that anyone ? uses the word to manipulate their own purposes is pretty much gonna catch it in the end....

    i say that to say just because people have through history used the bible as a tool to justify their own agenda's doesn't mean the bible itself is to blame.....

    that burden and those sins rests on the shoulders of those individual alone....

    not an entire people

    Guns were instrumental to ? over people, does that mean guns should be rejected?

    White people who oppressed black people ate bread. Boycott bread!

    For a ? so well read about Socratees and Playtoe I'd expect a better argument outta you

    This issue is culturally significant to blacks because our people tend to hold Christianity in high regard

    Many blacks believe that they should hold onto Christianity because it gave the slaves hope

    When it reality it was used by whites to justify enslavement and mistreatment. It was also used to keep Blacks believing that if they held on, Jesus was gonna save them from slavery instead of rising up and liberating themselves. Many Christian ? spirituals were based on the belief that dying a faithful Christian slave was good because you get to see Jesus in the end. ? up way to keep your slaves in line: break them down so bad mentally that they'd rather die in captivity than free themselves.

    Now what the ? does that have to do with guns?

    For someone who wants to pull philosophy out in an argument I'd expect you to avoid the genetic fallacy. If you can't see how the fallaciousness of the two arguments I put forth are comparable to that in your initial qualm just say so.

    It just a reality to make you look at the doctrine that you are in. Research the history, culture, and people. If you at least can't do that than you want to be ignorant.

    just because someone goes to war in the name of ? doesn't mean they're right.

    Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian nations and Christianity wasn't spread only because of slavery. But I guess this smart/dumb ? conveniently disregarded that or just didn't know. But carry on with your ignorance.

    genetic fallacies can be true, particularly when the merit of the issue is discussed.

    The merit of Christianity and Black people:

    -Black Christian women are more likely to have children that they can't afford to care for because of religious convictions, thus perpetuating poverty
    -Black people tithe faithfully and generously but remain financially behind
    -Black churches claim to be pillars of the community but the communities that they are located in are usually poverty and crime stricken, and they haven't done much to change the communities that surround them
    -Christianity perpetuates homophobia

    this ? beat me to it.

    Before I even participate.

    @Thot

    How much of the bible have you personally read and tried to understand before making accusations?

    How much do you know about the history of ancient Israel?
