Religion:
I still believe in a higher power.
But not sohh much Christianity.
I don't knock anyone who does, no matter how I may come off. Deep down, I really respect everyone's beliefs.
I remember when I first started attending church around middle school. I remember seeing a lot of hypocritical things while I was heavily involved in the church. During my pre-teen / teenage years, me & my homies weren't really going to church to praise the Lord, we going for the easy access to some freaks.
Unfortunately, the f*ckery wasn't just limited to us, horny teenagers. I began hearing accusations that the pastor, deacons and other prominent church faulty / members were getting their freak on behind close doors. Yet, every Sunday, they'd sit there all high mighty, throwing salt at anyone who wasn't in attendance / didn't believe in God. I noticed church was filled with a bunch of hypocrites. I kid you not, the same girls that talk all that mess about being "godly" saving it for marriage or their husbands were the first one's to being giving it up, whenever youth camps or trips came up (
). It became such a ritual, that I always made sure that I brought a few boxes of condoms, because I knew they'll be tons of guaranteed p*ssy. (

Now back to my modern perception of Christianity.
I really started to question Christianity during my first year in college. I saw how Christianity was used to entrap and justify the enslavement of Africans. I learned how Africans believed in polytheism spirituals and Islam throughout various parts of Africa. I thought about how the Europeans used this whole divide and conquer attitude towards everyone. On some you either you ride wit us (accept our Religion ) or collide wid us (die ). I realized the significance of Guns, Germs and Steel. Christianity was being forced upon us as a control mechanism. Later on, I learned how Christianity / Religion also helped free us in a sense. Religion embedded slaves with a sense of unity. Religion was the only cornerstone of meeting place for blacks during slavery. Ironically, in modern society, the only two places were blacks of all social economics and backgrounds really congregate today: are in the barber / beauty shops and church. Religion and a nonviolence attitude also, helped garner the civil rights movement. Sohh, it's silly and idiotic to not give Christianity it's props in a sense.....
Even though, I don't really feel connected to religion like I once used too, I still go to church from time to time. I don't knock the messages. I just few duped in a sense.
At the end of the day after seeing something like this:
It's impossible to doubt, there being other life forms or a higher being.
I've had too many instances in my life to deny a god or higher being. I know someone is looking out for a breh
I'd cite some examples in my life, but they'd probably only make sense to me. I consider myself blessed. I've been to places, most people can even phantom. Yet, I shouldn't even be alive.
