"Why Are Young People Leaving The Black Church?" - Willie D

[Marc Spector]

Cause god aint real

And black millenials watched two generations of devoutly religious black folks die broke and miserable.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Because religion, and Christianity altogether is complete bullshyt. All that shyt does is halt true intellectual progress. I especially hate it when nikkas try to use "THE MOST HIGH" to justify the worst bullshyt.

Also- Willie D's trying to be a youtuber now? LOL

Religion has never interrupted intellectual process

As an Agnostic, G-d not being real is your opinion. Now, the Black church is behind the times. However, we as the village need to teach our kids their history and self love.

the concept of church is not the issue...its the losers from the surrounding communities that infiltrated and ruined the church bc of their selfish agendas...all the homos and greedy money hungry showing off for other black folk judgmental nggas ruined the church...I still go sometimes and just avoid those types...focus on your owm relationship with God and dnt let the other losers in the church affect you

 

[Take It In Blood]

THEY STILL have no sense of the world

Make up theories, Barely found anything groundbreaking outer space and wants no smoke with the ocean

I fail to understand the point of this reply.

But I'm going to assume that you're pointing out the obvious which is science doesn't have everything figured out yet. And pretty much every reasonable minded individual would agree with that assessment.

Hence the sole reason why science exist.....


To figure out and understand sh1t.


If you know a better alternative to reach said goals then feel free to englightened us.

Because the ekklesia has been hijacked by charlatans and it does not serve the people anymore. Its supposed to function as a town hall and community center. Not some place where you go to praise "God" (who does not require your praise), or hear some man pontificate on the tenets of a book written eons ago, or promote obedience and seeking rewards in an afterlife.

The so called church deserves to be neglected because only a silly ass nukka would believe all this everything gon be alright when I get to heaven, so I'll build nothing and leave nothing to my children here on earth.

The only remnant of your existence is what you build and leave behind upon this earth...silly asses

Aint no heaven in the sky with no paradise. Jesus was murdered, he aint coming back to save a damn thing and he did not die for your sins (he died for rebelling against the Latins, Herodians, and Pharisees.) Y'all can sit and read that book and memorize and recite the shyt all you want...its pseudo-righteousness. And all these fake ass righteous people really think they are good because they "believe" in stupid shyt.

Remember how 50 Cent clowned Ja Rule for singing, ethered him..and then turned around and used the EXACT same singing chorus formula that Murder Inc used?

Young people don't attend old school houses of worship, but they are following youtube celebs and podcasts as religiously as their parents attended service.

Same soup, just reheated.

50 harmonized on "power of the dollar" multiple times, even on "guess who's back"... his beef with ja predates mainstream awareness, as does his penchant for melody.
The black church/YouTube scholarship conflation is a huge reach and simple "A ha!" moment for a dummy.
One is tax free, nearly state sponsored, slavery originated (in our case), with a bloody and greedy history of "get down or lay down"...the other is...not that.

 

[@OffHalsted]

Some go into the conscious community or pro black community basically doing the same shyt as church tho

Their favorite youtube commentator = Pastor
Donating to their favorite youtube commentator causes or products = Tides
Being a hypocrite or not practicing what their preaching = Same as church folks
Leaders or speakers being frauds, cons, hypocrites = Same as pastors
Extremely judgmental = Same as church folks
Going to lectures = Sunday service/Chruch function


The lists goes on.nikkas leaving church but ain't leaving church

Like I said before, 50 CLOWNED Ja Rule for singing. Not opinion but fact.He aired him out on skits and mixtapes for several reasons INCLUDING his singing on records. He ethered Rule and while people were busy laughing at Rule......50 racked upmainstream hit after mainstream hit by using the same formula......even putting out the G-Unit version of Ashanti....Olivia
OK, now that that's done

Did you say youtube "scholarship"? Hardly that.
People rebel against their parents and their unquestioning devotion to the Black church, and then turn around and adopt the same unquestioning devotion to youtube or podcast celebs.
Some of the youtube celebs are in fact scholars and educated people but by and large,youtube videos are HARDLY any form of scholarship.
30-40 year-never-missed- a-Sunday church goers have usually never read their own religious book all the way through, if they've read a complete book. And I'm guessing that many youtube celeb followers don't own a SINGLE non fiction book in the topic the celeb addresses.
Pastor serves the same function as the youtube celeb.
There was a scene in the film "In Too Deep" that pinpointed why generation after generation of our people do this. first 35 seconds
