Let's be 100% funky, only SELF HATING CO0NS Attack The Black Church

[Cat piss martini]

Why read the bible and the Torah?

why read any book.......wisdom and understanding
of whats inside.

 

[MikelArteta]

No man comes to the father but by me

Because your parents took you to church does not mean you are a Christian.

You speak a language and accept a anglo saxon name that was forced upon your ancestors.

You don't rock dashikis or traditional African garb


Christianity was in Africa and being practiced By the black man befpre it touched Europe.

Yall are taking this too personal

No faith is without its faults in this day of many enlightenments but Im not gonna be part of religion that was forced upon my people through slavery.

Say what you want about Islam but it didnt create the arab slave trade and was one of the reason in which it almost abolished.

As i said before I have no problem with Christianity, but it can not be denied how it was spread among us.

I just want black people to choose thats all.

Religion shouldn't be a tradition

 

[MikelArteta]

I meant the books of the Torah are the first five books in the old testament

why read any book.......wisdom and understanding
of whats inside.

This is filled with so much conjecture and empty rhetoric its funny, If google is correct there are close to 70,000 churches that Identify as having mainly African American members. Out of those 70,000 churches how many preachers have been caught or suspected of corruption or inappropriate behavior? 5% lets go as high as 10%. So what about the other 90% of pastors whose good acts go unsighted because yall would rather believe that EVERY preacher is some swindler or crook. Maybe if you didn't get your depictions of what a Black Preacher does from movies like Friday or Don't Be A Menace( BTW White people would NEVER allow there preachers to be depicted in such a way in film or on television), and brought your ass to church on a Sunday you might find out the stereotypes aren't true. Maybe if you went by Church on a Wednesday you could see that money that(the ALL preachers steal) being put to good use to feed the homeless and provide clothing and education programs for the kids.

Every church isn't large. In fact most aren't. So I don't know where you all get this idea, that churches are being overrun with members. In fact a lot of churches are being forced to close due to low membership.

On to your third point.? Which is bullshyt, but stays getting used like its some sort of Trump Card "Fancy clothes, Being seen" People have ALWAYS worn there finest clothes to church, that isn't a new phenomenon church WAS and IS a social event, and in those times it was THE social event.

Firstly, I never said this goes on in all black churches...you guys can't read, and when you do, you only read what you WANT to infer to make an argument.

You don't even know my religious/black church background dude. That's all I will say rather than go into tremendous detail over something that would take hours. I'm NOT the person you want to argue with nor will I entertain an arguments about my credentials when I come from a family with preachers. I never said all preachers are bad. Why would I given that fact? But there are good ones and bad ones regardless of church size, as I've said numerous times in this thread.

Furthermore, if I was you, and telling ppl to "go to church", I wouldn't preface it with profanity. I never said a curse word during my religious days, I lived it by the book. Maybe you should try it before you speak about what/what not I am and what I need to do. Worry about the speck in ur own eye......
I've been to church more times on Wednesdays than MOST ppl have been on Sundays/Wednesdays combined.

How do you fellowship with your people outside of the church. The op sadly might be onto something.

 

[Supercoolmayo]

who said I have evil words you asshat?

Can you read?

I'm saying that MLK pimped christianity to convince you silly sycophants to fall in lock-step.

if it wasn't for student organizations inspired by communist sentiments of equality to SERIOUSLY get shyt popping near the 50s, ya'll would be all up in church sitting on your goddamn hands.

The student invocation of the civil rights movement doesn't get enough respect.

Again: Churches were used because of their existing population centers, NOT because of their innate theology.

MLK pimped Christianity?

The disrespect of this board

why do you go to church on sunday when the sabbath
in the eyes of God is saturday??

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

too many feelings and emotional types in here to post my opinion. you can't argue with faith. it's ingrained way too deep in a person's conscious to squeeze any reasoning in there. i will say that the black church used to be a pillar of the community. now it has turned into something totally different.

 

[MikelArteta]

Be black and wish you were born white like hideokojima brehs

Worship an angry and jealous god,brehs.

 

[MikelArteta]

I keep the Sabbath Holy though

No where does it say in the bible what day you should worship on

why do you go to church on sunday when the sabbath
in the eyes of God is saturday??

I agree with that

Breh, if I had a choice to speak the west african tongue, believe me I would and thats why Im taking classes to speak yoruba.

Yes I know this reincar, but dont act like its is the same version that was practiced by the slave owners or the black folks over here cause its not.

I would rather us black people find our own paths to a faith.

 

[Cat piss martini]

alot of christian dont know the bible...

 

[MikelArteta]

So you continue to stereotype any black mam that accepts Christ didn't find Him on his own

I agree with that

Of course he's on to something.

Only probably until blacks moved into suburbs and when they created more social organizations for themselves like their own scout troops, jack and jill (), boule, etc did they have a chance to start networking at other events outside of church functions.

Add to the fact that church attendance pretty much falls with higher education, those people NEED outlets to interact with one another as more black professionals enter the world.
