Science versus Religion in the Black Community

[Louis Cipher]

1. The black church has lied about its importance in the civil rights struggle.

***dont know about this one...but nothing surprises me about the church

2. A lot of black people go to church simply to make friends and business connections because it's the only "public square" the black community has developed.

***disagree with this...i think a lot go becuz they have been conditioned to go and the rest actually believe in it

3. Black people don't go into the science fields much because the schools in the inner cities are terrible.

***disagree with this too...yes the schools may be bad, but a student with an interest in something can pursue it if they are so inclined

4. Darwin correctly predicted that we would find humanity's origin in Africa because the chimpanzees and gorillas in Africa are the animals most similar to humans.

***nothing to add to this

5. Although religion can be comforting for struggling people, it comes at too high of a cost: the dismissal of rational thought.

***totally agree with this

he is mentioned in the video as an example of mega-churches and homophobia

 

[louis the great]

The Roman Catholic Church which White people across the Globe subscribe 2 can be charged with the same accusations.

Question: Why are you so fascinated with black people and their plight?

1. I agree and I will add that the Vatican is a lot more damaging to the world than Eddie Long.

2. Lots of blacks are Catholic in Africa. Black bishops tell people its better to get AIDS than to wear a condom.

Question: Why are you so fascinated with black people and their plight?

This is a black forum. Why would I come here talking to you about white people or Mexicans or Japs?

Because youre white, i'd much rather you discuss the plight of white people. I'm already black and very aware of the problems my people face, enlighten us with yours.

he's nervous

the plight of white people.

We don't have one. We're white.

I'm already black

That makes it sound like you were not black and then somehow got black.

But srsly, white religious cultures share many of the same issues the black church has. But this academic panel is about why blacks don't embrace science and rely on religion.

well i think this is because black people are actually very conservative people despite what you see on BET, and on this board...and embrace religion almost unquestioningly...ive heated discussions becuz i do question...and am open about my dislike of the church and organised religion as a whole....

any second now...somebody is gonna come in here defending the bible....

Maybe they arent to trusting in white scientist? Probably because of being considered by those same scientist as inferior to whites for all those hundreds of years.

 

[kzzl]

more of the same. i've been thinking this way for a minute now. they put me out they house when i mention it though, so it falls on deaf ears.

 

[glowy]

so they embrace a religion that was forced on them by their slave masters that actually did consider them to be inferior....

BRILLIANT!!!
