If all black people were forced into christianity... Why do black pastors still preach everything from the bible?
Because they're charlatans and/or ignorant.
First off, not all were forced into it. Maybe at some point, but I'm sure in recent history it's been a choice. Same for preaching, they probably choose to. Or, they like that collection plate money too much to stray away.Quote:

Do you believe everything that's in the bible as far as the beginning of time and the first people on earth are facts
Nahlidge is mixed... he is black...and white.... and being such, has better insight into anything you feel the need ot mention racial shit in, because hes seen both sides of the coin and grew up experiencing the behind closed doors life of both...Quote:

My dad was black. And I like to read, so I probably see history blacker than you lol. From African American literature classes to biographies on every one from Eldridge Cleaver to Nelson Mandela, I'm def up on my black history b. Either way, it's impossible to still say black people are forced into Christianity with credibility. In the past, ok. But you said ALL, and that "ALL" doesn't include younger generations.Quote:

And as far as I know, there are solid facts that prove the first people on earth were in Africa. So that's what I've believed for a while now.
There are definitely charlatans like whoami said but also for the legit ones.. They've been told this shit since they were young and have based ost their life on it so it's probably hard to let go of especially thinking ur going to hell if u fuck up lol.
That's one of the reasons I can't stand religion and stopped going to church lol. Out ALL these religions, who can say which one is right? And they don't all follow the same shit so what's "right/wrong" to one religion can be perfectly fine in another. So who's to say who is going to hell? lol, does God change clothes and be like "nah if you die today, you only go to heaven if you were Mormon, but if you die tomorrow you gotta be Buddhist." lolQuote:

religious people are technically 99.9% atheist there are over a thousand Gods to choose from lol
