Mixed emotions...the downsides are clearly documented...it can be refined and regulated more (but thats on us, not the church exclusively) but the upsides aren't even spoken on.
Today, i can go to BLACK run churches around the nation and get shelter, food, and free consuling...as well as networking opportunities...all while being myself as myself. We do away with that, what we have to supplement that void? Liberal white benevolence?! Ha! Barbershops? No food n shelter there
Ive been to church service outside of funerals less than 5 times in my life. Im not religious in the traditional sense, so my words aint from a "oohh lawd" perspective, but we need to view shyt in a more holistic value, cause nikkas tend to forget WE AINT WHITE. They can shyt on church and completely abandon it, and it would have a marginal effect on them....but we aint in that boat.
Thats before even considering the fact that most are religious in their conduct regardless of their religious practice in the traditional sense, as its aleady been aluded to in this thread.
Talking about the white man on your off time and working for him on your own time is a religion in and of itself, but ill digress
