After growing up in the church, I've comfortably settled into being a deist. My biggest fault with religion resides within myself. I simply started to ask questions and I really didn't like the answers coming my way. There was always a catch, a justification for something and in a lot of cases, nonsensical from my perspective. It took a long time for me to be comfortable with that. I struggle with the concept of faith in the context that the bible wants a person to believe in it. There is almost a suspension of belief that needs to happen and my mind simply will not allow for that to happen. Once I realized all of that, I had to settle on what my religious ideology ultimately resided. Deism is that I believe that something created all of this due to the rules that nature seems to follow, phenomena, etc. but in the case of Satan and the rest, no, I don't. The tenor of how god is presented is different between the old and new testament. Which one reflects the current one? You can pick story after story in the bible and I look and say, how do I follow something that appears to have a lower moral compass than I have for myself. I thought we were all god's children. Why is he directing the killing of innocent first-born children? Why did he flood the earth? Why did he make Abraham sacrifice his own daughter? The list goes on and on.

The story of Job is the biggest clusterfukk to me.

So, god and satan have a bet, so obviously they are on good enough terms to shoot the shyt with each other, place a friendly wager on the head of a person and his family, even though its prophesied in revelations that satan is going to get his shyt ultimately pushed in by god when it's all said and done. Anyways, they have a bet, god's idea by the way to have the bet that said that satan can fukk with Job in whatever say he pleases and Job will not curse god. Satan supposedly kills wife, kids, animals, gives the man boils, burns down his house and makes him poor and then Job questions gods, saying he wishes he was dead, god basically tells him to shut the fukk up and man up. Ultimately, Job gets new wealth, wife, kids, etc... To my questions.

• Why does god need to prove something to someone when he (1) knows everything, (2) created satan and is going to fukk him up a few millenia from that date so satan's opinion doesn't matter.
• From a human emotion side, you don't just off someone's family without there being residue of emotion there. You don't just replace a new family like you do a new washer and dryer brehs. So we are talking about multiple people killed for shyts and giggles here. That reads like a disney movie but this is supposedly real. My morality code siren is blaring like fukk just thinking about it

Not to mention that it is logistically impossible for all of the animals to fit in Noah's ark as described, like someone said, for predators and prey to sit together in harmony basically. He could have just had all the wicked people killed if he wanted to, flooding of assuredly, some decent people in the midst of it all, was a bit of overkill. Brehs, they thought the sun went around the earth in those days.


So, a lot of the lessons that the bible teaches should be common sense, don't kill, don't steal, basically live life by the golden rule. Do unto others as you would like done to you. Most times, things will work out in the long run.

My sentiments exactly
I grew up in a Jehovah witness household. Was at "service" every Thursday and Sunday. Got out of that when I was of age and started going to this pentacoastal church with my son's mother for years. The more I learned about human kind and how people move to control the masses, the more I began to ask questions.

You deadass right about the suspension of belief. There is always some angle they use to counter your argument, but in the end it all requires one to have "faith" and suspend logic. ... I've always hated that shyt..cause thats not how God created me. I was never taught to question shyt, I just do as a result of not being a dumbass.

"Humans cannot understand the actions of God"..the default cop-out argument and the only one that kinda makes sense. A being of that nature will likely do a bunch of shyt beyond our thought process..but that does not mean the things in the Bible are true. Hell that shyt has been translated multiple times..and translations are open to interpretations...
Lots of real shyt echoed in your post breh. Repped

We like to fukk and sleep in on Sunday mornings

Seriously in 2018 the church has nothing to offer young black people.

not to mention if you're serious about religion, you can go to Bible studies at a more convenient time for more productive conversations

 

[luciddreamer]

Because, the internet...

 

[the bossman]

And the congregation is made up of the uneducated with an associates or a high school diploma. People with higher education tend not to be bothered with organized religion anymore.

Not true at all. Half of the congregation at one local church here are all HU grads. Middle/upper middle class blacks still attend church in droves.. Anti-religion brehs always doin the most

 

[seabreeze80]

I dont need a church to build my relationship with God.

What do you think you need?

This

I hate when dumb nikkas say this stupid shyt.

I'm like it wasn't the last of days when were enslaved for 100's of years but it's the last of days now?

It's like nikkas doesn't even know world history. Because there were way more bloody eras in history than it is now.

Bro, our president is a reality TV star thotting and whoring is celebrated, Gender confusion and homosexuality are the new norm, not to mention the decrease in Marriage and family values etc a society can not function like this if it aint the end soon i would HATE to see where we are 20 years from now.

And its funny yall bring up history because if you knew anything about history youd know ALL of the top civilizations from Africa,Asia, Europe detiriorated once degenerate behavior was accepted and became the norm.

you bums are a cancer on progressive black society

Talking about "last days"

Go drink that special Kool aid and end it if you're really about that cult live

Isnt this motherfukker Indian, and yall do realize a belief in GOD is what allowed Black People to make it thru 500 years of slavery, the crack epidemic etc.

Now that Black spirituality is at an all time low yall really wonder why Black Pride is at an all time low, the Black church was more then Just believing in some white Jesus it was a community.

 

[MikelArteta]

What do you think you need?

Moral compass through experiences like treating other people and pets and other things with respect.
