Do you think there will ever be a black atheist revolution?

Two Things for this discussion. There will never be a Black Atheist Revolution. Why?

1. They would single handily destroy all logic of creating a strong Black following.

2. They follow everything cacs do down to the lines of political parties, views and actions in the black community.

Could you see the fallout from this.

If the Black Community of 5% and Ancient Kemet Followers would say "Black Man is God/Black Woman is God"

Black Atheist would say "There is no God". His logic would destroy self preservation, knowledge of self, wisdom and understanding. He would also destroy any black woman or man's chance to see their skin tone as a powerful resource.

I dont get this revolution talk... are more black people becoming aware that their religion is a myth? Absolutely, but I dont see that as a revolution, nor do I see one coming. Iron age superstition will just erode away slowly or evolve the way it always have until future niccaz wont recognize current theism like past theists wouldnt recognize today... theyd be like "Personal gawd" :wtf:

The Portuguese started by conquering the Morroccan city of Ceuta in 1415 and went along the West coast from there till about 1480. The height of their trade empire was in the 16th Century. The Kingdom of Kongo extended to the West Coast of Sub-Saharan Africa.......

:snoop: Morocco is in North Africa and had nothing to do with the transatlantic slave trade. The Kingdom of Kongo did not reach anywhere near what we consider to be West Africa.

What we really know is that knowledge of Christianity is down played in pre slavery Africa .

We also, know this thread is about atheist revolution (whatever the hell that would entail). These slaves weren't given their first Idea of God, many of them were Muslims, the rest believed in God() as well.

Religion and the African are intrinsically linked, you can't bs your way around that

Most people have no idea about pre-slavery Africa anyway so that's a given. The idea of an 'atheist revolution' doesn't imply anything practicable to me.

The idea that Africans practised religions and deferred to deities pre Christianity is not in dispute and neither is the fact that religion has played a pivotal role throughout African history so I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

Morocco is in North WEST Africa near the Straits of Gibraltar......

The Portuguese sailed South along the WEST coast of Africa for 60+ years after they conquered Ceuta in 1415. The borders of the Kingdom of Kongo reached the WEST coast of Africa. Matter of fact, if you use the map, you'll see that the Democratic Republic of Congo STILL DOES.

:comeon: Anybody that knows anything about Africa understands that Morocco is not in the geographical region known as West Africa. This is elementary. You seem to be under the impression that any nation with a border facing the Atlantic is a West African one. This is NOT the case.

THIS is West Africa.

per the bolded^. So what is the question in the thread then? I guess I'm confused on what the point was. I thought the point was,.. is a black atheist revolution possible; and if possible is it the key to freeing the minds of lost black in America.

black people who practice Christianity around the world aren't only doing it because of slavery. Most black people in America are; but that's not to say that they were theological blank slates previous to that. -- And I was saying that in the context and ideas surrounding this tread / the discussion on forced Christianity onto Transatlantic slaves.

I dont think atheists have painted a proper picture to explain what thought processes found in the belief of God hold them back and how their disbelief in God makes them more well off. What is the basis of this? Your fiances? Your friends? Your relationships with women/family/children. Im just not understanding what it is you think people need to be freed from and what it helps them do that you are currently doing. Being an atheist does not give you powers.
