You would think that we would know that praying doesn't work by now.
Only two reasons someone is religious:
1) indoctrinated. Makes you fear going to hell.
2) down and out, looking for hope.
Preys on the weak and keeps them with fear.
Not saying some good that doesn't come from church (fundraisers, community work) but when people rather believe the Bible over factual science well something has got to give
in the bottom of their hearts, I don’t really think they believe it.
Holy books were just allegories meant to teach lessons, but black folk take them too literally. They are literally thousands of years of knowledge in these books, but the only lesson black people got was “love thy neighbor” and “turn your other [ass] cheek” for whiteZaddy.
I think you are right on the fear part. It’s a lot easier for a coward to believe skyBreh will take care of sht for him, than to actually read the parts in the Bible with economic, military, and political strategy and then act on them
