If you're still devoutly into religion in this day and age, then you're doing yourself a disservice. 
Not knocking people who believe in some divine power, but you have folks out here hanging their hopes and dreams on a religious figure rather than taking action to make said hopes and dream become a reality.

I was raised Christian but even when I was little The Bible to me and a lot of customs surrounding it always turned me off, I hated going to church when I was little and the stories never made sense, particularly the idea of God creating himself. I just kept quiet because everyone else around me was so religious while even when I tried to be I couldn't hold the same type of faith.
As I got older and more into science and education I started to doubt it even further but kept my doubts to myself, I don't know how my family would feel about it but I can't say I would really care if I came to the conclusion I didn't believe. The fear of hell was ingrained in me by the time I was 11 though.
Now being 21 and more aware of my history I can't agree with The Bible because if I did I would basically be saying before slavery and we were introduced to Christianity we had it all wrong and were living like godless heretics. It would also mean I agree with slavery as a vessel to introduce me and my people to Jesus.
At the same time, parts of the bible can be made sense of, those Hebrew Israelites saying the bible is about black people and how it describes everything we went through makes so much fukkin sense
I don't know what I expect from this threadIt would be nice if a knowledgeable Coli breh would chime in.
Well here go your problems right here...

Thign witht hat is, I hear regularly you HAVE to accept Jesus as a savior so if you don't you're basically still damned
I find that I have no issue, even as a man of science, accepting the belief in a higher power and the lessons of the bible. What I have issue with is man and perversions he has taken in justifying evil deeds through the bible. Whether it be slavery, pedophilia or genocide, all have been justified in some way through biblical teachings. Even the image of jesus was made white in order to make slaves believe God was white and therefore the closest thing to God was a white man.
As a result I have issue with religion because that is man made thing.

I don't know what I expect from this thread
Christianity was in Africa before slavery and even tho i dont think jesus was real you can praise him as black jesus he was for sure not white
As I've gotten older and looked at history I've given up the Christian faith.
To me it's a money scheme that preys on the weak, and those who need something to cling to.
It's so deeply rooted in our culture tho, the backlash you can get from some folks (especially here in the south) is crazy

20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
–Genesis 9:20-27
And these cac Devils who went to church every Sunday and prayed to a white God used those verses as a basis to justify slavery. And you expect me to subject myself to this? And worship some man made perversion of his words? This is my problem with man. Beliefs turn into tools of power because that is all they seek.

Do your research and come up with your own conclusions it's never good to just blindly follow and believe something because "it's what your supposed to"
