It's sad that as an African American man in 2013, I still can not come out to my family and friends

I read the first 200 posts or so, and basically this thread started as atheists/agnostics/non-believers peacefully explaining how they're treated differently due to their lack of faith.....to a bunch of insecure religious folks coming in here talking that bullshyt. Literally out of no where people were bytching about over zealous atheists when there were none to be found in the thread. They came in and derailed @BrothaZay 's thread exactly proving his point.

yea posters like @Ronnie Lott came in talking "overzealous atheists" and than had the nerve to deny he had a problem with atheists voicing their opinion when @Napoleon called him out.

honestly, i think a lot of first gens are natural c00ns. many are taught to assimilate by any means necessary. that's why they'll have their real name but go by something like Ken or Chris, just straight out of the womb c00ns.

this is not true..many of them have these beliefs before they come over here. My parents are from Ghana...they were Christians before leaving Ghana. The naming thing comes from being baptized at birth, they still mostly have West African names in their native tongues and those African names are how they are referred to...the English, French, etc. names are on the birth certificate and the ones they use in public and professional purposes.

but you are in the business of speaking for it, right? especially on topics in which he has offered no opinion, in the king james bible, right? Which isn't the only version, correct?

Religious people are disingenuous. They look at compromise as weak and a form of concession.

What's ironic about your statement calling atheists overzealous is the fact that Zealotry and the historical Zealots were a Jewish political movement in the 1st century. The original Zealots were religious.

Did God(Allah, the Islamic one) in his own way allow himself to be introduced to your people through Islam?

influence does not necessarily mean positive.

A lot of people believe the world is fukked up and the fact that Christianity and Islam are the two largest leading religions in such a fukked world is very telling.
