Perhaps African Americans Are Finally Catching On

[Athene]

actually no. my church is over 1/2 black. my best friend, and best man at my wedding is black and his dad not only married me and my wife but was instrumental in teaching me how to study the bible. he gave me a library of books and materials and taught me how to use them. My thoughts on the need for black america to have a relationship with God are his thoughts. He is the one who pointed out that without Christianity all black run civilization amount to little more than third world nations. and he also pointed out that the largest and most successful population of black people in the world live right here in the US with God or at least his principles/morality in the forefronts of their lives. (which is why I spent almost 10 years as an inner city sunday school teacher and camp counselor for the yearly inner city camp, I was one of 6 with anywhere between 80 to 150 kids from ages 10 to 18)

Despite what mans has done using religion to control black people it is God who took those who were faithful out of the stone age and with in a few generation put their descendants shoulder to shoulder with the most advanced man, literally skipping thousands of years of social failure and development that white people went through to get here.

From the literal stone age to the post modern space age in what 5 generations? Compared to their brethren back in africa who struggle with the basics of modern life like a single point of running water in a whole village, and things like electricity, not to mention things like human rights, as most are still in the sex trade/slavery business.

This is what God has done, now you want that to go away and have a whole people abandon God and adopt what? who they were before God was introduced? again look at all of the BEST african nations tell me which one of those cultures you want unleashed on your neighborhood.

You morons have no clue what the idea of God is holding back. it is literally holding the gates of hell closed. why? because it is the worst of the wort who know they need God's redemption. it is the lukewarm moderate fence sitters who think they are moral and need nothing/no God. Take god away completely and you will find out that 5 generations of modern life is not enough to instally pop morality onto a whole people... that it takes 1000s of years for pop morality to develop.. and while you are busy walking your own invisible lines of right and wrong, the linchpin to the gates of hell has been pulled and it's residence will consume your little world.

LMFAO....Your vivid imagination, chronic ignorance, "TRAGIC HAPA" logic, and tendency towards hysteria causes you to leap to the most wildly racist and STUPID conclusions. You, as well as most "mainstream" atheists, have no clue as to just how many Black non-believers there actually are or what they're up to.

If you think belief in your god is the only thing keeping us from going "full savage" on "Whitey" (and his mouthpieces) you are truly an idiot, Drich.

Black atheists are. They exist. In much, much greater numbers than any of you dolts realize. 
And though I'd like nothing more than to be able to mortify you by informing you that they're vengeance-driven, utterly devolved madmen with death, destruction, and mayhem on their minds just to watch you melt-down further, the truth is they're not. In actuality, they're a lot like "mainstream" atheist with a few notable differences. 

One of them being that most of them don't congregate in spaces that center on atheism. You just won't find many Black atheists cloistered together in online atheist hovels jerking each other off all day babbling non-stop about atheism. There are a few Black atheist forums, but most of them don't get much in the way of continuous traffic. And they don't join up on sites like this in significant numbers because...well, they have eyes. If they lurk long enough on "mainstream" atheist sites like AF they'll inevitably see some deeply unwelcoming, hostile shit and quickly surmise that "mainstream" atheist sites aren't aren't good places for Black atheists to be. 

Now, BLM (which is not a terrorist organization, as you seem to believe) is one of the spaces, but it is by no stretch of the imagination Black Atheist Central. If you knew half as much as you THINK you do and had your ear to the ground, you'd know that a number of Black atheists actually moved on from BLM some time ago AND that a substantially larger number of Black atheists are well-represented and integrated into various Black lifestyle, political, and general discussion forums. Their numbers and influence have increased to the point that while they may not be the norm, they are considered a norm in a multitude of major Black social media spaces. Because of that, they're getting less negativity and pushback, and are garnering more questions and interest from Black believers; And unlike you, they've got real answers. 

Their numbers are greater than AND growing much faster then you or others realize.

Do not tell me "No", Drich. I am a Black atheist, and I interact, engage in discussion, and exchange ideas with plenty of these folks online and in real life on almost a daily basis. And while many of them ARE interested in addressing some of the problems presented by White Supremacy as matter of fairness, burning America to the ground and "killing White people"  is not on the agenda. 
Lawful protest and VOTER education, registration and awareness is; All very AMERICAN shit, mind you. Because by and large, Black atheists tend to be very rational, reasonable and remarkably fair-minded people, as most have a decidedly Humanist worldview. 

Now I won't deny that there's an element among Blacks that IS vehemently anti-white and anti-American...but if you think that's predominantly coming from Black atheists, you're barking up the wrong tree. 
Ever heard of Black Liberation Theology?

Your Black Christian brethren are rejecting White Jesus in increasing numbers and substituting their own.
And a LOT of them are rejecting ALL things White right along with Him. 

How's that for irony?
