At what age did you realize it was all for show?

So you’re fine with disrespecting black history month and the people who are the reason we celebrate it for doing real things but you have a problem with people calling out this fake shyt. You’re trolling right

Gotta keep the puters putin

Around like 11-12 when the reverend got escorted out by sheriffs because the church members who felt they ran the show wanted him gone.

It’s definitely performative

I had an aunt may God bless her soul, that went to church and didn’t believe in that stuff either but one day she was visiting family and went to their church and no lie the pastor anointed her and she passed out


And she couldn’t believe that it happened


So idk

It's such nonsense that shyt used make me wanna just leave. And as a teenager I did just that, because we lived basically right around the corner. Making me miss my Cowboys cause yall up in here acting a fool, was my thought process.

 

[Illuminatos]

It was always sus to me as a child but I never questioned it because I still had that fear of demons and Hell, etc.

Once I got to my late teens and early 20s and gained more life experience I realized it for what it was.

 

[Krs2]

This look goofy and it's something I would not participate in BUT

This are the acts of people who are more In touch with they ancestors practices. And not just using, logic and brain stuff. To get to certain places spiritually you gotta leave some of the brain stuff behind you

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Had fam that worked for the church I always just looked at it as a hustle that in reality had very little to do with the bible or the creators will. a lot of man-made traditions, greedy weak people, stealing and weird sex stuff going on

 

[maxamusa]

Keep standing on business OP.

Her sugar probably dropped but it could have also been the power of suggestion, the mind is very powerful and can sometimes be manipulated.

 

[cheek100]

Even when I was a little kid and got dragged to church I never understood how anyone could believe any of the nonsense. We bout to drink a dudes blood and eat his body? Word? That's normal to y'all?

Yea that still gets me to this day. How did they normalize this shyt?

 

[Wig Twistin Season]

I’m not one to judge people’s beliefs as long as they aren’t hurting anyone, but that and speaking in tongues…

 

[42 Monks]

I knew I had to leave church when sunday school teachers were getting mad at me for correcting them on what the bible actually said realized ppl didn't actually read shyt.

We never had any performative stuff like the OP's clip though thankfully. Just one especially dramatic auntie that would do her mini-sermon to start off every service.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Goddamn did they get the JBs to be the church house band?

That shīt was funky as hell

Bout to play it again just to hear that guitar
