[Houston911]

Has anyone posted this yet?

bytch is annoying AF
no one cares about that shyt anymore
kids are rarely even going to church nowadays
most of these "Christians" you see nowadays don't hold a candle to the bible-thumbing ones back in the day
damn near half of us would be considered agnostic now
we're losing our religion by the droves

not really. Just the other day she was thirsting over one of those One Direction cacs. I personally don't give a fukk. Somebody has to say what she's saying.

I'd rather it be someone who actually believes what they are saying. It's obvious a lot of you just like being validated.

Does not change the fact that Christianity has African roots.

Not West African rots. And I know you're gonna say some West African slaves had E African roots. But what are the likelihood of there being an E African to W Africa migration before Christianity was even formed? The Hausas *might* have E African roots but I doubt even they followed Christianity let alone brought it to West Africa.

how do you know she doesn't believe what she's saying on this particular subject? I highly doubt next week or next year she's gonna be on that Jesus tip.

Well its annoying when the Religious zealots don't want to admit that the ideology and "GOD" they're following is their Oppressors, but no you get more deflection and defense mechanisms. Enslaved minds at work right in front of you...

I agree. Regardless of whether it was practiced in Africa....Black Americans clearly practice it because of slavery and that is a mental hindrance (Especially when you add in the typical depictions of Jesus, the Christian God, his heavenly choir, etc).

I just thought it was worth noting that all Christians are converts because this can easily turn into the idea of "Blacks getting flexed on yet again" when in fact everyone else did the same. Hell, you could make the case that those people who converted freely were the real losers in all of this. You gonna have a choice....and turn your back on the gods that you had worshiped for thousands of years....

That doesn't make Christianity "the White mans religion"

Black folks love nitpicking the messenger if he or she is black....but take whatever a white person say for gospel
....they did it to Malcolm
....they did it to Marcus Garvey
....they did it to Martin Luther King
....they killed Malcolm
....they killed the Black Panther movement

Religion is a fools game.

It is an institution. Nothing more and nothing less.

Yea and brainwashing breeds arrogance and ignorance, which is what religion does in the scope of things That's my main issue and what AZ was referencing. We had a whole different belief and spiritual system that was indigenous, that we have been steered away from forcefully and through our willful acknowledgment of an oppressors religious,social and economic systems and throw in education as well.

So its ignorant for people to still try and align what they're practicing now to what we were before contact with arabs and whites. This is done to validate their arrogant and ignorant acceptance of their enslaved state, which also breeds non willingness to fight back against it

aight that fine, but lets not act like alot of these churches don't have a photo an Italian man posted somewhere on the wall.
There's only a few times I've seen a black Jesus at churches.
