Hey there, Maxwell!

Wow...where should I begin?? Well, I love the Don't Be a Menace clip because it clearly shows how blacks are in churches. That demonic preacher shouts "Don't ask no questions" for a reason. Asking questions puts them in the hotseat to have to give clear answers. that they clearly don't have.

Secondly, organized religion is very dangerous. I believe that even the slave masters did not obey the words from the bible.. They never believed in it themselves. Truthfully, if the bible never mentioned slavery at all, I would have deemed it a false book because slavery in different forms took place thousands of years before. Unfortunately, American slavery of 1619 was the worst for us blacks here in America and unfortunately, the demonic ill educated was able to use the bible against us in a heinous manner.

Jesus in Matthew was peaking of Parable of the Servants (Matthew 24:45-51). Even though this is based on a parable, it shows that slavery in some form was true even his day. I totally get how you feel though, I question organized religion all the time and even God's motives. I am never afraid to question His motives. I am but a mere mortal. I confess, I don't know. I know the beauty and the spirit God has shown me personally, but that is my walk. Very insightful article here!
