Why are black men abandoning God?

[Two Stacks]

because i aint about to sit up here and listen to a preacher brain wash women and tell me what I should be doing.

NOR

will i pay my money into a church that has poor members when the pastor caked up.

i wanna know what happened, i'll read the bible myself.

there IS A god (im living proof) but i dont need no fukk ass preacher telling me how to follow God's teachings.

The problem is trying to make money and figuring out ways to get women does not lead to a better life.
We are focusing on the wrong things.
Earthly things will not make anyone's life better, the bible says this time and time again. The richest people are unhappy and suicidal, while children in Africa who do not even have shoes to put on their feet are content and happy. The only way to a happy and rich life is faith in god.


1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

So black people are supposed to remain poor instead of build up their resources to compete and stay afloat in this global economy...ok. you're not making any realistic sense at all breh. You sound lost. I can't talk to your kind...your the type of person the black community needs significantly less of.

I'm taking about REALISTIC solutions to real world problem (pooling resources and money together to build businesses, improve the black community, etc) and your talking about praying to some magic man in the sky. You sound like a f*cking idiot.

So what do you believe in? Why do you think we're on this earth?

I have absolutely no idea and I continue to search to this day for the answer. Based on my experience in life and my research/academic life, I am comfortable leaving organized religion behind to search for a more logical reasoning behind our existence. I do not bash religious people because it does help individuals deal with the hardships of this fukked up world, but like I said earlier, I'm not interested in personal salvation, as some people are; I'm interested in society/collective salvation, which does not exist and never has in history. On the flipside, organized religion is responsible for facilitating numerous massacres and inequality/injustice/hegemony for centuries, especially capitalism and racial oppression. In terms of believing in God, maybe there are architects to all of this, but its a lot more complicated than a being controlling all aspects of the infinite number of universes and people being "saved" from death or "Hell" based solely on chance....it doesn't make sense to me and I refuse to point people in struggle in the direction of religion because it stagnates organized resistance to injustice.

In other words, I believe in the people here, on Earth, that work their asses off everyday trying to survive in this fukked up existence, and still have time to raise children and build communities. That's who I believe in.

It does seem "crazy" but if you truly think about the fact that we are able to exist on earth and earth itself is crazy. the fact that we have such complicated and perfect biological systems is crazy. Pregnancy and delivery is crazy. Only one sperm out of millions needed to fertilize an egg thats crazy! so what makes belief in god any crazier???


Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
_Proverbs 3:5

What you are conveniently omitting is that it took millions and millions of years for those complicated (and I truly would never use the word perfect to ever describe our biological systems) systems to come about. Pregnancy & delivery are nowhere near being crazy once one realizes that sexual reproduction within multi-cellular organisms creates better and stronger offspring than simple asexual creatures who simply bud carbon copies of themselves. For this to happen, a very very slow & gradual process known as natural selection had to occur which would streamline how organisms could most efficiently reproduce. AND OF COURSE, those early organisms that were most efficient at sexual reproduction set the blueprint for the more complex animals that would follow eons later. Seeing as how science has pretty much mapped these developments out using experiments that yield the same results, I wouldn't say too much of our natural world can be described as "crazy."

You speak of the Christian God. I'm not

are creating a planet capable of sustaining life isn't impressive, what more would you have like to see, clearly the existence of yourself doesn't seem to impress.

how bout revealing himself

whats the problem, he could reveal himself to some dusty arab with a 9 year old wife, and turn himself into a burning bush in front of moses, but now hes too busy to come down and tell us whats good?

yall got an answer for everything man foh

Word..

You spit facts and they just hit you with

"Satan has taken over your form and is trying to attack me through you...I REBUKE SATAN!!"

 

[God Almighty]

How is it common sense? So one being controls all the complexities of the billions and biillions of endless universes, has time to decide who lives and who dies, who's rich and who's poor, who's black and who's white, who wins the super bowl and who doesn't, who gets into a certain college and who doesn't, etc.? You see where I'm going now? It just doesn't make any logical sense and historical trends are against religious generalizations....

I had money on the Pats. Don't be mad at me.

That's the Christian God again.

Anyways why is the onus on God to prove anything to you?

Furthermore "I" See signs of God all around me. But that's just me.

and what is this vague bullshyt about signs of god

 

[Blackking]

Cause god isn't real.

Cause Christianity has made black men and women weak, docile, and passive

Cause black men are finally discovering a thing call free will everyone else uses.

Free will isnt exclusive to atheism... fyi
