[Serious] The black man as a slave to the white man's god

You began this thread by issuing orders to enslaved people. (YOU say they're enslaved; they don't agree.)

This is the White Savior Complex: the idea that black people will become free by obeying your order, rather than someone else's. 

In fact, people become free by deciding for themselves. And it seems that a very large number of black Americans have decided for themselves to form a Christian church which serves their needs. You don't approve of this. 

It's possible that they're wrong about metaphysics and that no God exists, despite the social benefits of having a church. Your response to this incorrect decision is to insult them by calling them "delusional." 

The way to show respect for a free people is to discuss things with them respectfully. If you feel their metaphysical commitments are incorrect, you can go about it in the same way you'd argue metaphysics with anybody else. 

1) Get a clear view of what they believe.
2) Construct a logical argument as to why you disagree.
3) Put together evidence from history, and expert opinion, as to why they should change their minds. 

This is how adults discuss things. 

Your inability to do any of these renders you in effect inarticulate. Your insults are the verbal equivalent of stamping your little feet. A competent high school teacher could introduce you to methods of articulating your reasons and arguments. 

Black Christians deserve better than orders and insults.
