Muslim extremists are more religious than any Christian I've ever known and they are out here getting shyt done to reach their goals.

Christianity doesn't work for Black people, it's not for us, I don't think Islam is either but we can look at how it's been more effective at creating REAL Black men than Christianity, at this point, everyone needs to understand that we can't reform every Black person and have them on the same page as those who are trying to build us up, that doesn't mean those people are useless, but we need to put out our own propaganda that targets and sways them to financially support our efforts instead of them giving that money to people who are basically enemies to them.

:manny:
But there isn't enough of this and its fukking frustrating sometimes.

Theres so much interesting dialogue on the coli and so much of it descends into fukking mental midgets arguing over their bullshyt books and reinforcing the fact they failed basic science courses.

You're talking about what classifies as pro black and doesn't? First of all, you're probably not even black considering you went from hiding your race to Yardie. :comeon: Second of all, you're not even for the cause with your anti Africa comments. FOH. :camby:
As a black american my stance here matters more than my stance anywhere else. Deal with that if you want.

There are some Black churches that heavily community involved. From sports teams, to neighborhood farming, drug rehab, job readiness. Part of tithes goes back to the community. My church this weekend is giving away shoes, clothes, small appliances, school supplies. We have helped out families who have had loved ones died and have no insurance. So part of those donations go back to help those people. If a church ask you to give and they don't give back themselves then it's a problem.

Some people dont need a God or Allah or a Lwa to help them channel their energy in effort to accomplish things. Some do. But again, this applies to all humans. I fail to see your "pro-black" claim and how religion would impact it
Religion impacts that because in as much as people want "prayers" thats that many more people who remain inactive.

I'm tired of hearing "prayers" being offered.

Its the intellectual heavy lifting of alchemy.

And you don't need to believe in a god to do that.

Altruism isn't limited to believing in a god who "died for your sins" or "watches you masturbate" or "did clearly impossible miracle"

Reality isn't logical and there is no truth. You still don't get that.

And religion organizes. Organization is the greatest tool for a common goal. Atheism ain't doing that by itself.

Atheism is merely the notion that you don' believe in any gods

That doesn't mean you can't join an organization

and religion is bullshyt if what its based on is a lie.

There is power in humanity, not the clearly false ideologies upon which religious claims are based.

Try again.

You can't be that fukking disingenuous.

Again, how does this impact "pro-black" specifically?

So offer an alternative to religion that organizes people to the same extent or your argument has no grounds.

Who said you had to believe in Gid to do that. Im saying the church is an organization to pool resources together. You can pro black, help the community. And be Christian at the same time. I just showed how you can and waiting for show show why its not logical

An alternative?

Whats wrong with telling people to meet up at a designated place on a repeated basis to organize and achieve certain goals?

Why do you need to "believe in god" to do so?
