Atheism is destroying black minds.

Hebrews were Asiatic/African. Paul was Syrian. None of them were 'White'.

The problem is that people are more religious than spiritual. The church has turned into a joke now with lots of preachers preaching the "feel good" message and preying on people's emotions. I even saw a flyer on facebook with a lesbian couple pastoring a church People don't pray, read their bible, fast, or do their research....all they do is go to church on sunday so they believe anything a pastor says and take it as law and when they get cheated, scammed or don't get the result they want they blame God or Christianity when its their fault. To me Christianity is more about spiritualism and your relationship with God. If you don't pray, read your bible, pay tithes, etc how can you call yourself a Christian? You basically go to church for the music and to get your spirit up lifted when the reason for church period is to praise God. Christianity is not the problem....these so called "Christians" are

In 1491, King Nzinga converted to Christianity of his own free will, urging the Kongo nobility and peasant classes to follow suit. To varying degrees, the Kongo kingdom remained Christian for the next 200 years. Scholars continue to dispute the authenticity of Kongolese Christian faith and the degree to which the adoption of a new faith was motivated by political and economic realities. From the time of Nzinga's conversion until the seventeenth century, Kongo leadership engaged in extensive communications with religious and political leaders from Europe, including the pope and other members of the Vatican, who accepted the Kongo church as orthodox.

Illreguardless of the fact that they did it. Would you accept an aliens region if they enslaved humanity. Would you forgive them for that bullshyt after the fact?!?!

The Kongolese nobility swiftly adopted Christianity for several reasons. The first is that the nature of the centralized government and the hierarchically structured society facilitated the dissemination of information. The translations of Christian doctrine into the local language, KiKongo, was done such that words like spirit, god, and holy were rendered directly equivalent to existing concepts in Kongo cosmology. Missionary documents from the seventeenth century claimed that they had found a people who believed in a single god but did not know his name. This tolerant version of conversion practice differs dramatically from the often violent Spanish equivalent in the Americas, which was based on a principle requiring a "change of heart." In parts of Kongo, Christianity was accepted not as a new religion that would replace the old, but rather as a new syncretic cult that was fully compatible with existing structures.

The moment when you see black people being so ashame of their heritage and culture they would sit there and pretend to be arab/hebrew with this insane notion that the slaves who were trade aren't black but hebrew thus all black people over here and in the islands are returning to zion . I love and hate you guys

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

and thats the one thats sitting in black churches all across the country

christianity might have been black originally and all that bullshyt, but is that what gets practiced in america? fukk no

Actually, that IS what is practiced in 'Black' churches across America since this civilization is literate.

African/'Black' slaves weren't allowed to worship alongside 'White' people so they built their own Churches starting in 1794.....

Black people are religious since we were created, why would we just forget about that and change who we are?
I see a lot of supposed black people saying all religious are corrupted or they want to steal our money and whatnot. The question is how can you blame the whole religion? No religion preach stealing, adultery, hate, etc.
Yes there's a lot of crooked pastors/ priests out there but there's also good ones trying to improve the community. Some people are blind to the whole "white Jesus" shyt. If nowhere in the Bible is written Jesus is white why would you think he is? Why do you think they had to create a white image for him? If you actually reads the bible/quoran whatever book, you will see there's so many things you can learn and teach to ourselves in this fukked up society.
We are special for a reason and cac demons are trying to steal our uniqueness, don't let them steal your spirituality...

The Bolded is historically true, but not today. Historically, the black church was where the majority of community meetings and organizing occurred; the preachers would make statements condemning anti-black racism and call it "anti-black racism" not "improving race relations" or whatever garbage they spew today. They do not represent the mass struggle of the black working and poor classes today and that is blatantly obvious.

In addition, atheism has a foundational root in the African American community as well, so don't dismiss it as being cac stuff. Historically, blacks have challenged religion since we got here in the 1600s. Again, the Black church is worth over 400 billion dollars today, yet black urban centers continue to deteriorate and LOSE money. Explain how the churches are trying to improve the community. Black preachers are waving fingers at poor blacks and telling them to simply "believe" and they will be ok, plus give your tithes. People are starving and being made feel guilty to tithe whatever little money they have left. But the Preachers don't care. The Black church in the 18th and early 19th centuries would set up breakfast programs and pool money to build community centers that brought money to the community; they would challenge the politicians to pass legislation to help the community.

Today, none of that exists and don't give me that bullshyt about "its not every church." The fact is that the purpose and the rhetoric of the church has transformed over time to devalue the black masses for a more liberal, passive, and oppressive voice against African Americans.

This is false. You're looking at the 'Mega Churches'. Your criticism does not hold true for the Churches located in nearly every 'Black' neighborhood across the Nation.​

In addition, atheism has a foundational root in the African American community as well, so don't dismiss it as being cac stuff.

That '400 billion dollars' is spread out over approximately 100,000 'Black' Churches across the Nation over 30 years. 'Black' urban centers lose money because they aren't 'tax exempt' and society is more focused on non-social activities. 'Black' churches try to improve the communities in which they're located by providing social services free of charge to the residents. 'Mega Church' pastors are doing that 'Prosperity Gospel' thing. Your criticism doesn't apply to the overwhelming majority of 'Black' churches who still offer food pantries, free breakfasts/dinners, free day-care, after-school programs, scholarships, marriage counseling, etc.
​

Today, none of that exists

This is patently false.​

The fact is that the purpose and the rhetoric of the church has transformed over time to devalue the black masses for a more liberal, passive, and oppressive voice against African Americans.

This is also patently false.​

I see your point but church isn't equal christianity. You don't blame the gun when someone gets shot, you blame the shooter, and in this case you can't blame the whole religion because someone used it for their own agenda. Current churches are corrupted but you don't have to go to one to discuss what you learned reading the bible.
