How Do Y'all Feel About Religion?

Trips said:
a couple of my uncles are pastors and have their own church. But, once my Grandma stopped making me go, I stopped going to church. Now I wouldn't say I'm religious at all, but I have no problems with people who believe and practice. That said fuck this Right Wing Evangelical bullshit that is really just white nationalism with a fake ass smile.

Yeah the Right Wing Christianity is just Christian Nationalism (really White Supremacy masked as religion). I respect Progressive Christianity and the religious faith leaders on the Left.
 
I only respect it culturally, I was raised pentecostal, I don't believe in any deity but our Protestant traditions are ultimately our own

I have an appreciation for the New Testament and hold it in high esteem over the OT, Quran, Rig Vedas, etc.

The intangible thing that I have faith in and drives my morals is my race and ethnicity :manny:

I have four hundred years of ancestors behind me as an African-American and I always had that sense of pride growing up

If you're Black and a jew, or a muslim, I highly recommend reading The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor F. Williams

We are not semites, it's a shame some of our kith and kin desperately want to be a bunch of robe wearing, phlegmy, non-fork using mfs

I don't think the last part is a fair assessment of our people. There's Hebrew tribes within the continent of Africa. Especially, Western Africa. The Igbo Elders know who they are descended from.

You're confusing race and nation breh, Western Africa isn't a small place, there's Black Hindus and Black Satanists there if you look hard enough

We're an amalgamation of various Western and Central African nations, and we've been our own nation since 1619. We're a very young, unique ethnic group that's part of an expanding race.

What are the Igbo elders doing for the average Black person of any nationality in the US? What's your Rabbi doing for us?

It genuinely hurts my heart to see Black people reject their opportunity to continue nation building, why do you want to be around jews?

Judaism encourages reading and self-debate, I implore to study the damage semites have been doing since the Black race emerged via the book I mentioned.

This is gibberish. I'm Jewish because of my ancestors and wanting to have a relationship with G-d. That's different from worldly affairs. I stand up for my people and donate to social causes. G-d is what helped me become a better rounded person. Just admit, you have a bias against Abrahamic religion. I used to be the same way

You can nation build and have religion.

Who are your ancestors breh? If you want to talk about religion, scripturally speaking, you should be a Christian, Christ is the Messiah*

Mine survived tribal warfare, the Middle Passage, slavery, and the Civil War less than 200 years ago. They gave me my racial birthright, the 13th-15th Amendments and Civil Rights Bill. They were Christians.

I don't have a bias against Abrahamic religion, I just know judaism and islam is not for Black people in the West or Africa

See below, I respect it as a cornerstone of my ancestors culture

We can agree to disagree.

The discussion

I told you I am descended of the Igbo.

I don't literally believe Jesus is the Messiah, but if you read the OT and NT like Lord of the Rings, it makes perfect sense

Otherwise, what's wrong with the cultural things I've mentioned? Aren't you proud of those?

Straight down? How long have you been able to speak Igbo?

I think religious people are crazy. I'm supposed to believe that snakes can talk and human beings can rise from the dead :dahell:

you need to think abstractly to understand it

like the words on the page are like snakes, and the humans rising from the dead are from the words on the page

when you speak they are moving, when you repeat it its moving in patterns

every written story in the bible is like a serpent on a cross whether you realize it or not

this is why in the jewish tradition, the Oral Torah is more significant than the written one because of the constant utterance and rememberance to Hashem
