Ppl will gloss over this, but you are making a very important point here. These atheist/pseudo spiritual types act as if their current beliefs weren't impressed upon them by the dominant cac civilization.

Naturalism/Materialism (the metaphysical foundations of atheism) and cynicism towards religion were not indigenous to Africa either :snoop:

These negus practice darwinism, one of the biggest cac supremacist there is. :russ:

Didn’t read the thread, so forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but Christianity was in Africa before it reached Europe. Many of the historic christian tenets were developed in Africa. The hypostatic Union, the trinity all coming out of Africa. Link: How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind

Many of the church fathers, Origen, Cyperian, Augustine, were African. Mark, from the Gospel of Mark is said to have come from Libya. Link: The African Memory of Mark

Simon of Cyrene who carried the cross of Christ was from Libya. Link: Early Libyan Christianity

Ethiopia is considered the first/second Christian nation. Nubian Christianity was very powerful as well. Link: The Roots of Nubian Christianity

There’s so many more books that document Christian History from before the Islamic conquest of Northern Africa and after, to before the transatlantic slave trade. I’m waiting on a book by Dr. David Daniels that has evidence of Christians coming over during the slave trade that were already literate and practicing Christianity. Link: 16th and 17th Century African and Black American Christianity.

This is a very lazy line of thinking. You judge a religion by its tenants and claims about the divine and the authenticity of its scripture. That's it. How do you know that whatever ancestral religion our forefathers believed in wasn't also forced upon them by a conquering tribe? You don't.


I think its fair to judge religion by the followers. Which is why I say Im Christian because its the easiest way to make it known I believe in god. As well as many precepts of the bible. But as far as wanting to sit around with those goofy ass people in church,listening to goofy ass pastors who lack discernment? I cant do it.


Christianity was definitely forced on me,and I rejected as a child by trying to sleep through it,making excuses not to go. Then as a grown man I outright rejected it. But through spiritual experiences,and collecting data,coincidences,and common sense. I came to believe in god on my own time. This is how you know you are one of the chosen. If yove just been christian your whole life,good chance youve just been brainwashed.


So basically you reconcile it by saying Christianity was taken from black people. Remixed by the European,and the g.m.o version of it was forced on you.


If your one of the chosen,it will find you some way shape or form. And through your discernment you will see christianity and god in its purified form.


Alot of athiest are actually the chosen. Your supposed to see modern day Christianity as stupid and a joke. But the problem is,you reject the bible and god. And instead opt to worship the European and their psuedo science. Rathet than use your discernement to look deeper. But majority of athiest are simply souless bot agents,meant to distract and maintain Babylons status quo:respect:

Say thats all true.

Im not saying it is or Isnt.

It becomes moot considering it was still sucessfully used to institutionally control, manipulate, and indoctrinate African (and the Indigenous peoples of Latin America) slaves into a role of obedience.

And its effects are still felt today.

The mass majority of African American Christians today are practicing a Euro-centric version their ancestors slave owners forced them to assimilate to.

With little to no semblance or knowledge to/of any Christian practices in Africa predating Europe.

Let’s say this is true that the version we’re practicing doesn’t have any semblance of what Christians practiced in Africa. That wasn’t the initial question in the OP.

But because the whites b*stardized Christianity and used it to subjugate Africans (and others), doesn’t mean that black Americans can’t look at the historical faith and be proud. In fact, we know they b*stardized it because of that history.

There are traditions that the Europeans practice because of the African Church though. What they believe that’s orthodox across the church as a whole came from Africa. It’s documented in the first book I linked. I recall arguing in favor of paedocommunion (children receiving communion) which had fallen out of practice in the western church. This cac was arguing against it and tried to say because the Ethiopian Church practiced it, that it was bad. Keep in mind they had been practicing this since the beginning (one of the very First Nations to convert). It’s still not widely practiced here but that influence is growing. Monasticism (think Monks and nuns) was founded in Africa. Link: Moses The Black.

I hear you though. I believe that the western church has adopted much of white peoples ways and so much corruption has made its way for centuries. And it’s a sad reality. But the core beliefs, especially in the west, owes its roots to the African mind.

All systems are a means of control. It’s the nature of any system to limit movement, language, and thought into a precise and predictable set of variables.
So the question I have is…

What is your point?
Are you adverse to Christianity because you believe it be a white system?
Or are you questioning religious systems as a whole?
What is your point?

This is an open ended question but is logical. For many its something they believe in their heart but it can't ignored it was used as a weapon. People use what works. People say they believe in science but science at that time had published papers that our brains were smaller and black people, not humans were directly related from apes. Folks just need to be honest both religion and science were used against black people.
