@Napoleon I'm an atheist but damn nikka what do you do with your life outside of the coil? :wtf:

Even though I'm athiest i still break bread with religious folk and get shyt done in my community. Religious preference doesn't matter when shyts being accomplished.
I'm at work and its a slow day.

Just contribute to the thread or keep it moving.

Thats one person. Many of the people he learned from and worked with were NOT religious.

Remember, religiosity in this country grew mostly in the 80s

A lot of revolutionaries were NOT religious.
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

What do you mean by "greater power?"

Its a flawed concept ENTIRELY and to even invest in such a notion is the result of a misunderstanding of both the question itself and a lack of awareness as to why the notion is flawed.

you know exactly what i mean. God. Higher Power. Allah etc...

naw breh...its flawed to you. we dont have to believe your bullshyt...

this is the problem right here....nikkas think there opinions right and everybody else's are wrong...

you be pro-black the way you want...and i'll do it my way. :yeshrug:

This has no bearing on whether or not these mythical figures exist or not.

and yes, reality engages in the pursuit of knowledge. You can't do that by presupposing fantastical "gods"

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.

Honestly, while I think a lot of things about organized religion are bullshyt, that 10% thing especially, that would mean that people can only focus on one thing. Or that they're obligated to for some reason.

It seems that anyone with a basic understanding of history would know that people who made great leaps and bounds forward in all realms, a lot of the time, were religious.

Islamic Golden Age - Muslims didn't seem to have a problem with it.

And religiosity only became a thing in this country in the 80s? What country did you grow up in? lol

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.

I AM right and I believe you're inherently harmful via religion to the intellectual health and welfare of anything relating to the black community.

Religion is a serious mental cancer and I think the black community doesn't do enough to confront it.

This is a flawed understanding of what that was.

Calculus isn't a "christian" invention. Its just an invention.

Being "muslim" doesn't change who or what they discovered.

Look at the rise in the religious-morality movements of the 80s.
