Because I was forced to go. Then as I got older and started questioning what I was taught, it only made me have more questions like,
1. If Adam and Eve were the first humans, how did they reproduce without incest?
2. Same with Noah. Also, how was it possible for him to put every single animal male and female on a boat? What about all the poop?
3. Why do people in church preach living a certain lifestyle when they don't live by what they preached?
4. How is it possible to live completely sin free? So if I live a Christian life and one day see the finest woman I have ever seen with lust in my heart, then die am I going to hell for one shortcoming?
5. How is it possible to do something terrible and just say forgive me and be good?
6. How is traumatizing someone to make them feel like drinking grape juice is the blood of Christ along with some crackers, going to kill a person if I don't accept him as my lord and savior?
After watching this I felt it was symbolic of the church IMO.
When I died for that quick min I didn't see a devil and didn't see God welcoming me like this
Only thing that happened to me when I died was darkness. No purgatory with Big, Pac, Martin, nada, just nothing. But I don't knock folks who believe, because I feel we all need something to give us hope that there's some type of peace after all this. My peace comes from within now.
Real shit right here. Baptist church services start at 11 am and don't end till 3pm. Damn near miss the whole fuckin 1pm football game. Get back in time for the 2 minute warning. Man fuck dat shit.Black church services too long...., even Black Jesus ain't got time for that.
But what if you are this God your talking about? What if your (god) somewhere else using this body just to gather more data in this world and the body that n u use has its own way of thinking called the ego...wouldn't that make for an interesting story...I believe God exists
That pastor was the devil, heartless....Another story as to why I'm glad I don't fuck with it anymore is when the new pastor came in to the family church. My grandmother was sick and she couldn't attend church anymore. Grandma asked can the pastor come to her house for service and pray with her. This nigga, who was only concerned with getting a Mega church because his brother in Atlanta had one, told my grandmother I don't have time to come to your house. NIGGA, THATS PART OF YO FUCKIN JOB!!! Now my grandmother has been attending this church since she was 16 years old and now she's 75, you got the fuckin nerve to tell her you don't have time to pray with her!!!!? Shit pissed me the fuck off. Now my mother never told me this till after grandma passed away. I asked mom, why didn't you tell me this when it happened. Mom looked at me and said, I know you. Would have been a problem for him. He up and left soon after grandma passed for a Mega church somewhere else. Fuck church. Long as I treat people the same way I wanna be treated I don't need a house of worship where I have to pay for another man's gator shoes. His wife pretty with some big ass titties I should have tried to nut in her pussy.
A real piece of shit World.That pastor was the devil, heartless....
I believe we are gods entertainment. We are God's reality TV.But what if you are this God your talking about? What if your (god) somewhere else using this body just to gather more data in this world and the body that n u use has its own way of thinking called the ego...wouldn't that make for an interesting story...
I said all of that to say I concentrate on being my better self. IMO most religions are based on fear. I don't worry about anyone finding fault in my opinions because I am not perfect or complete as a human, and never will be.This is just my attempt answer your questions, strictly my opinions. I'm just some who can be severely disillusioned by church leadership behavior. There are people who are genuinely good Christians, and there are wolves in sheep's skin, along with others who use Christianity to achieve their own selfish aims.
I still attend due to the type of church and my personal beliefs.
Why would it be incest if they reproduced? It's not like they were brother & sister. Are you saying Seth was a product of incest? Unless I misunderstood your question.
2a. 1st/2nd cousin marriages (my opinion). Another guess would be that incest did not have profound effect on human biology at that time compared to later times.
2b. I'm pretty sure waste management was included in the design. The Bible doesn't include every minute detail of everything it refers to, same as other books.
That's why churches have been turning off people. My current church has a good track record, my previous one? Not so much!
Other religion do the same, don't they? Muslims are not supposed to drink but they do. They're supposed to be fair to each other but they're right there with christian cacs when it comes to racism.
No, it is NOT possible to live completely sin free. The Bible encourages working on one's self thru the process of sanctification. 100% is supposedly achieved once one goes to heaven.
Confession has to come from the heart, with the aim of not repeating the same sin, not just uttering some nonsense words and you're miraculously forgiven.
Symbolic act that brings remembrance to their savior's sacrifice to bring them salvation. I don't get the latter part of this question.
I take it you didn't fully "transition" so you didn't get to your "final" destination so of course you're not going to see Biggie and Pac chilling in their mansions.
I know the wolves are coming
NOW THAT SOME REAL SHIT RIGHT THERE. PREACH!Real shit right here. Baptist church services start at 11 am and don't end till 3pm. Damn near miss the whole fuckin 1pm football game. Get back in time for the 2 minute warning. Man fuck dat shit.
Amen, brother. Safe travels to you as well.I said all of that to say I concentrate on being my better self. IMO most religions are based on fear. I don't worry about anyone finding fault in my opinions because I am not perfect or complete as a human, and never will be.
One thing about me is I always look within, doing so helps me continue to be my best self and not judge others so much because I am not without my own faults. safe travels as you walk your path, be well.
1. I grew up in a Baptist church. Sunday school in the morning, the service at 11am, then the get together afterwards. It was just too damn long and we only had 2 days free from school as kids. Thankfully I didn't have to go choir practice and all that other BS my cousins were forced to attend.
2. Once I got around the age of 8 the stories didn't make any damn sense. And id ask questions and the answers were always to believe and disassociate myself with common sense. Fuck that
3. Church people were simply wicked people. I grew to detest them. Nobody sinned more than those evil bastards.
4. The questions that I had were answered when I was introduced to Kemet. Literally all of my questions. I learned that the Bible was just a fabrication of the book of the dead, the emerald tablets, and others. Like for example the 10 commandments were literally stolen from the 42 confessions of Maat.
I could go on but yall get it
Exactly, being “white” was a mutation or a curse during those timesDamn that's rough @doe moe . Glad you were able to get up out of there. Here is the WASP who started what we now know as Jehovah Witness.

Wildest part of it all is there are no white people in Bibles, Torahs or Korans. It's not white people historical culture regionally. As they were not ever there in those places at those times.
I’m from the same place and it happened to me at about the same age. The hue-man book store opened on two-fifth and I had a convo with a beautiful, college-aged sister who stopped to talk to me and ask if I needed help.I was about 12. I really thought Sunday school was a place to get answers. When I didn't get those answers I thought the adults were idiots. So I never went back. Six years later I was in Harlem surrounded by books and Black people with those answers.
There’s so many missing/removed books from the Bible as well.
Read on Ifa/Yoruba
It’s also in the secret of all agesThe Roman Catholic church is a culture vulture copy of the Orthodox Catholic churches in Ethiopia. The Ethiopians have all the books. Including the book of Enoch.
