Debate: You can't be pro-black and religious

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

Because Atheist ain't got shyt else better to do but talk, while our babies getting gunned down in the streets and our people stay in physical, mental and spirtual anarchy.

I bet you fukk white women, don't you?

napoleon dont get p*ssy and i think he might be a gay...not that there's anything wrong with that.

ive never heard this dude talk about being attracted to women at all...hes probably asexual.

 

[dem bath salts]

Atheists love cacs

 

[mrken12]

you talk about religion, more than any religious person i know..

 

[Everythingg]

and prayer did nothing to help ANY of it.

I wonder (speaking on the story of Moses and not whether it happened or didnt) why Moses didnt just sit down and wait forGod to whisk them out of Egypt? Didnt they have to move their legs too? I wonder why they didnt just remain in their tens and wait for God to bring them food inside their tents? Didnt they have to move their legs outside of their tents to get the manna that rained down from heaven? Its a dumb quote because his prayer was answered lol

 

[Everythingg]

no its not. i was born in america, as fukked up as it is its my home. they brought our ancestors from another country and then enforced their views on them to further destroy their psyche. I don't see how these are the same.

Some people were born into Christianity as well

Its the same thing breh. You're just being selective...

naw because I realize this place is shyt and will leave one day. people go their whole lives adhering to a book.

 

[observe]

I guess as well Rosa parks, Coretta Scott king, Paul bogle, Harriet Tubman , Marcus Garvey weren't pro black

What about all those Rastas also



anyway is this thread worth my time to read?

I think this thread is even more pertinent in the wake of the Mike Brown and Eric Garner debacles.

A lot of black people are looking at this through a religious lens, waiting on God or Jesus to set things straight or punish the unjust on Judgment Day or whatever.

And if you honestly feel that way, I'm just going to go ahead and say you might as well be smoking crack. The high you get from anticipating divine intervention is not productive and it's not based in reality. You have to realize that there is no spirit being that's going to save you...YOU have to work to save yourself and those around you. There is no evidence for a creator. Your personal belief in God is a coping mechanism or a result of indoctrination or misguided logic or all of the above, but besides sustaining a misplaced confidence borne out of ignorance, it has no real world basis and cannot be relied upon to solve real world problems.

It makes sense that a large number of black people embrace belief in God, because the powerless and the weakened are the ones most likely to escape from reality. But it's time to move past that.

I get your message but wrong delievery. You just pretty much assume this is what the majority of people are doing

 

[Blackking]

i guess what you all are saying is that if you are waiting for Jesus ( basically damn near all black Americans, lol ) then you will be passive as fukk.

Maybe,

But that doesn't mean that all religion means you can't be pro black.

Almost every great king or leader in African, the Caribbean, and America has been religious. Maybe not all christian, but they've all believed in God.

PEace.

I said "religious black people".

If it wasn't for the Gospel's admonition to turn the other cheek, would you still have so many blacks advocating ineffective non-violent protests?

So people can't be down if they're christian? You do know there was constant warring and paybacks in the bible too? But again you're making it seem like all black people that are religous practive that.

 

[Blackking]

can you be a suspected non black internet troll and be pro black?

I don't think anyone feels that way man...but feel free to get your rant on against religion as opposed to the elephant in the room...

I'm absolutely saying people can't be down if they're Christian.

At least not according to Jesus Christ.
