Yeah, we got a lot more suffering among people now days wearing nikes, eating rotten road kill from their fridge while watching color TV while sitting under an AC than folks did along the European coast living off the fat of the sea with their motorized fishing boats while dodging polio, the plagues, mosquitoes, tetanus, potato famines and Barbary Coast bleck slavers a thousand years ago.

We got it so bad roving bands of poor starving bleck utes scavenge for green meat and donuts through the alley dumpsters all day unless they see a chick with nice tenners and a cell phone they can attack.

Sheesh.


So much for your claims that Christianity will solve all of societies problems. More Black claim to be Christian than whites. Same for Latinos.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-ta...erall-public-to-be-christian-protestant/

...today, a larger share of African Americans than whites say they are Christian. And, of all major U.S. racial and ethnic groups, blacks are the most likely to identify as Protestant.

Nearly eight-in-ten black Americans (79%) identify as Christian, according to Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study. By comparison, seven-in-ten Americans overall (71%) say they are Christian, including 70% of whites, 77% of Latinos and just 34% of Asian Americans. Meanwhile, about seven-in-ten blacks are Protestant, compared with less than half of the public overall (47%), including 48% of whites, roughly a quarter of Latinos and 17% of Asian Americans.

Claiming to be religious and acting so often isn't the same thing.

Is it religious to stick pins in voodoo dolls?


Voodoo is a religion, and includes may Catholic elements, more than you probably imagine.

As for claiming to be religion, but not really being so, .....you should look in the mirror.


I never said I was religion. I dont consider putting 50 2 inch long pony tails on a nappy haired kids head to keep off the "haints" adequate to call the folks believers either.


Doc,

This is just another example of what I mean when saying I really think you should spend more time looking in the mirror.

Do you not claim to be a Christian?
Were you not taught that all people were created in God's image, and thus deserve equal dignity?
But you continue to fill your writings with racist overtones, or blatant racism.

I'm not a believer, but evidenced by your actions on this forum, I treat people in a way more "Christian" manner than you do.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
