Attended church for 1st time in a decade...I see why the black race is last...

[Samori Toure]

I was totally at the males in the pulpit.

Southern Baptist or whatever you want to call it. They're basically the same.

I just sat there digesting what was said and the body language...smh.

Christianity is all about being submissive, and it's drilled in you from day one. The pastor, associate pastors, and deacons all had that same submissive stance.

It comes from the teaching that we're all God's "children" so we should be children in "his" eyes.

Christianity is indeed a great tool for white supremacy.

I hate to see people that keep saying that Christianity is the tool of White Supremacy, when the first Christian Churches are from modern day Ethiopia. There are also Christian churches in Eritrea and in Egypt (Coptic churches). The Ethiopians even have their own Bible and pictures of Black saints, which is what the apostles were closer to actually looking like.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church


The Christianity used on Black people (the slaves) in the USA and the Caribbean is the Christianity pushed by the English Anglican Church. The slave owners didn't care if the slaves were Christians or not; in fact in many cases they allowed the slaves to keep practicing Islam, Catholicism and other indigenous African religions. It was the Evangelist missionary wing of the English Anglican Church that pushed for conversion of the slaves to Protestant Christianity, because they wanted the slaves to drop those dreaded religions of Islam and Catholicism; especially that cursed religion of Islam. The slaves owners only agreed to allow the conversion of the slaves if the Anglican Church missionaries pushed the notion that being free from sins did not mean being free from slavery; and missionaries pushed the notion of being obedient to the slave masters and receiving rewards in Heaven. The missionaries also pushed that Ham being cursed of Noah nonsense and that Black people were descended from Ham.

why didnt they allow them to pracice vodun, obeah, Ifa, etc?

So why have white Christians been some of the most violent and dominating individuals in known history? Maybe it's not the religion.

Because white people don't really believe in God like idiot blacks do. White people understand religion is a tool to manipulate and justify violence toward their enemies. They justified slavery using the bible, and than used it to pacify ex slaves and tell them they should just move on. They used it to rage holy war on Islamic countries, and than they use it to paint all Muslims as fanatical illogical terrorist. Most white people are atheist, they just hide behind Jesus so they always have an out when they get caught doing something cacly.

 

[Samori Toure]

For the same reason that Missionaries tried to convert Native Americans away from their indigenous religions. Mind control.

Btw, not all Africans even practiced those religions. The Africans taken from the Sahel were overwhelmingly Muslim. The Africans taken from Angola and Kongo were were Catholic.

It sounds like you went to church against your will and didnt have a choice in what kind of church you went to. I was meh about church when I was young too.

But as an adult I've settled into a church that fits in my view of the world. It's progressive, politically and socially (all about Black Lives Matter and is pro LGBTQ both in teachings and administration) and speaks the truth about this country's history and present.

Look up Trinity UCC in Chicago, its a mega church but aren't on that prosperity gospel tip. Watch a sermon online even, particularly a recent one where the pastor was preaching in Kaepernick jersey.

Sorry but your church has nothing to do with christian teachings. It's a modern twisted and false trait.

The bible shyts on the lgbtq..

ChristiNikka please!!

 

[Dzali OG]

you never heard of the catholic church and its effects on the hispanic community

To a certain extent, but they don't have it as bad as us.

The bible can be used to shyt on just about anyone. It was used to justify slavery in the hands of some people, or keep women viewed as "less than"

Some churches just aren't about oppressing gay people (or anyone for that matter). If you want to attend a church that has obvious gay people in the church choir and shyts on them while utilizing their talent and relying on their tithes, thats on you. I'm not about that hypocrisy from the pulpit.

edit: GodTua, i'm surprised you would have that stance. Don't tell me you attend a church that has you in conversion therapy? SMH

[Wild self]

i think the upcoming generation will be the first to ditch religion wholesale

Organized religion is already on the ropes. Only a certain segment of black women are saving the church as it is. If it wasn't for them, religion would be Western Europe status (dead as fukk).

Funny how more informed and educated people become, the more that they ditched religion.

 

[PrnzHakeem]

See my last post. I don't have time for churches out here creating boogeymen while taking their talents and money. Or the pastor taking such a vitriolic anti-gay stance when he's raping young men behind his closed door.

 

[No_bammer_weed]

For whatever reason cac Christians separate their religion from their lives. They can exit church and string a black man up in the name of the lord. They use their religious beliefs to bolster their position on this planet. While our interpretation of the word leads us to forsake this world. To be comfortable with being shyt on.

He completely blew a hole thru you're theory. You say religion = submissiveness, and since whites adhere to christian teachings at similar rates that blacks do the same theory should apply to them as well.

But then you start scrambling, and claim that whites practice religion in a more superior fashion.

Thats whats so funny about a lot of you coli, "pro black" militants. You guys go to absurd lengths to put whites on this ridiculous pedestal. So who's the tool for white supremacy?

Your theory makes no sense. With the rates of violence (both interracial and intraracial), rates of crime, and rates of destructive riots in black neighborhoods about the last thing I'd call our communities is "docile and submissive".

You guys belittle churchgoers for being followers, but Im sure one of these youtube black "scholars" came up with the 'blacks are docile' narrative, and you guys obey it no matter how nonsensical it is.

Im not much of a religious guy, but there is a lot to be said for believing in a higher power bigger than yourself. The idea that the church champions selflessness, love, and being grateful for what you have enrages people like you because you have a lot of hate in your heart. Religion has a theory for people like you, and the entity that controls your heart and mind.

Not my stance but an outlook of the view in religons and their preaching. No diss intended sir.

 

[AintNoCrampInYaMouthTho]

what you see folks do in chruch is not how they act when they not in church. Why you think they repenting for

 

[flea]

I'm catholic but i dont fukk with church. gotta stand up, sit down, kneel, receive the Eucharist, pray in unison, collection plate. It's too much for me. My relationship with God is strong. I dont need church to prove it.

From the little you said, your church sounds acceptable. I can't accept these church's preaching nothing but "wait for the Lord's returning".

Our church needs to preach relevant information. I aim to change the format of church.
