Why are black men abandoning God?

Sorry I had to neg you, but using the Bible as proof that God exists is like trying to put a square block in a circular hole...it doesn't fit and it was never meant to be; Throw that Bible bullshyt outta here; If God exists, cool; if not, oh well. But I'm not following an organized belief in a so-called being that has only been used for hegemony, exploitation, and murder. I'll focus my energy on community building with real people that work hard everyday trying to survive in this fukked up world. Those are the people I worship.
Just because you were raised to believe Santa was real and brought presents to people one night of the year, doesn't mean it's real. Children are born with illnesses too, you know. So what's the purpose of bringing a kid into this world to suffer only to bring him or her home?

black men are starting to stop going to church just because of their baby mama. Plus, men use their brains to determine actions and not emotions.
Following the bible is
How does "He" decide who he heals and who he doesn't heal? WHy didn't he "heal" my grandfather of his cancer even though he was in the church all the time, or the newborn baby that dies right after being born who knows nothing; Just saying, that he heals wholeheartedly thing, I grew up on that too, but I don't believe it to be true anymore.
That's the choice of the parent to bring that child in the world. Why would God make that baby go through a life like that? Idk, ask him yourself.

Yo yo yo...for real though..I don't even understand why black folks are so religious. And so loyal to god.
Black people have been getting shafted by everyone and everything even in the midst of praying all day and going to church and reading the bible. Lowest rate of business ownership, Highest rate of incarceration, highest rate of unployment, getting killed by racist cops who get off and get donations funds set up in their honor, under the thumb of centuries of white oppression, have had everything and almost anything taken from them. It's pretty obvious if there is a god he hates us...yet we pray to him all day long...we are so lost as a people!
he's not always there when you want him but he'll be there.

My gripe about religious people: you try to rationalize everything within a paradigm which is largely unsubstantiated.
Good fortune? God made it possible.
Your child died? God brought them back to heaven.
Is your God any more credible than me believing that my computer charger is a divine being that made this possible? How about this sandwich I'm eating? Is that a divine spiritual being as well?
Science does not explain EVERYTHING, but at least it attempts to explain our universe within a RATIONAL, experimentally provable paradigm. Ideas that are not substantiated are tossed to the wayside.
I believe humans need resolve and faith when the future is hazy... I believe in morality, spirituality, but I could never have full faith in a supposed "God" whose allowed so much strife on black people.

I am The Wrench in all your plans....
Did you see it by yourself?
But you know god right??? Aint no way these people spending billions of dollars just to fake shyt.... :Fact is we're not alone in this universe and when that day happens....
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!!!!!???
Based on the religious text, he is the creator of heaven and earth. He is basically in control. You have beings that are living out their lives in pain and sorrow. As the creator you sit back and watch this happen. Why? That's my main gripe.
I don't see how you can equate me listening to my parents to God himself. It doesn't make sense. Sure, I was conceived or rather "created" through my parents. But let's be real. You can't compare the power that ones parents has to an omnipotent being. Parents can do only so much. There are some factors that cannot be accounted for as a parent. Now for God, I see no excuse for him. He is the ruler of the universe. He made everything, apparently. So you can't tell me that this being which such power can't control his own creations.
Having a kid with a weak immune system, a heart on the outside of the chest, asthma, etc. is on the parents? Does God not know these kids are coming to this Earth like this?
Why would I need to ask myself about that? I'm not the one who worships him and believes he heals children in those situations. You're fighting yourself on this one and I don't understand it.

Done.
Oh this is going out to @Amphibious

Okay I don't want to go into this but I will. I lost my mother at 4 to a rare form of cancer that was passed on to me. I do not question why my mom lost her battle or why I have deal with it. I can't be upset with the situation i was given, I have to work with it to the best of my means. 3 years ago in April I was having brain surgery & I prayed that I would have a swift recovery. I had to go through physical therapy to be sure that my body was back on track with my mind. So please every stop it, I personally know that medical intervention & spiritual intervention does help.
I'm ignoring this thread.
