Okay.


Thats like asking how you can still live in America.


No religion that I known of asks people to simply sit at home and pray. Not a single one.

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.

Imagine if the civil rights movement wasn't an actually movement and people just stayed in their house and prayed

Majority of those in the civil rights movements were Christian :dead:

Given the past and current systematic oppression of black people in the States, you should leave. Why haven't you left? It's not logical for you to stay in a country that (your words) actively seeks to destroy you.

I know. and I probably will to be completely honest, my paper isn't long enough yet sadly. I"m not leaving to another country until I have at least 40k or something saved up to make sure I don't fukk up. but I agree, this place is shyt for black people. that doesn't change the fact that christianity is a mental crutch we never needed.

you obvs don't get what I'm saying. I was saying what if all the people instead of getting out and doing shyt just sat at home and prayed waiting for god to save them, what do you think the outcome of the civil rights movement would have been?

Ancestors have been worshiping God for over 2000 years. Even in the Bible Ethopians helped Jeremiah out in prison. Its been only recently in history people have changed and twisted the word trying to change what it said into something else.

is god unable to save people who worship him just through mass prayer? should be a easy task for an omnipotent being.

That isn't the God depicted in the Old or New Testament and I'm not even Christian.

Really? So just because I pray to GOD that means something Is going to happen because I want it to :troll:

:yeshrug: why worship a god who stands idly by as your entire race gets raped and sold into slavery for 400 years as your prayers fall on deaf ears for centuries. God delivered the israelites out of slavery in egypt are we not good enough for such treatment? IDK we'll just have to agree to disagree on this :yeshrug:

Sounds like BS to me. People with much less than you flee to this and other countries every second of every day, and risk everything to get out of a system that won't let them get their fair shot at a good life.

It's irrational to stay here; irrational thoughts aren't necessarily a bad thing if it's guiding you to some greater goal.
