Ask a black atheist

Any religious upbringing background ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Just for context, are you "African American" black?

I don't know if you would find the Mormon religious racial crapola funny, pathetic or enraging. Or maybe all 3. I can't recommend you look it up, but if it is something you would have done anyhow (or already have) it is in any regards simply astonishing.
I have remarked here before the Mormon 'executive fiat' that effectively neutralized all the racist writings and teachings is astonishing in it's import, but even more astonishing in it's effrontery towards god. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Even if not from your parents, do you find a lot of pressure and misunderstanding from the wider black community?
Also what made you really lose faith (if you ever had any at all)? Also welcome to the forum  Didn't see your introduction thread before

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie (June 28, 2015 at 5:39 pm)vorlon13 Wrote: I don't know if you would find the Mormon religious racial crapola funny, pathetic or enraging.

I find all religion to be nonsense, but the mormon variety especially so. Nothing they do surprises or phases me, it's quite laughable really.  |
