Black Spirituality Religion : The Biggest Dividing Factor

[hiphopolx]

Wired into man's spritual DNA is a deep hunger to know WHAT/WHY and WHO. WHAT am I? WHY am I here? And, WHO made me? Religion is the search for answers to these questions.


.

Don't forget bonding.
We all seem to have deep hunger to share our ideas, literature, art and what we believe is truth.
We seem to have an unconscious longing to mentally and spiritually be as one.

This hunger is what fuels these threads. Anybody who brings their contrary P.O.V. amongst any group setting can be compared to throwing lighter fuel in a fire.

I'm fully aware the number of ppl whom share a belief has nothing to do to with whether the belief is true or not. I'm pretty sure most who is reading this is aware as well. But subconsciously is a different story. How many practicing Christians, Muslims or Jews will admit they wouldn't have their same beliefs if they lived in a area where their beliefs weren't practiced by the majority.

Soon enough, we will all know WHAT/WHY and WHO.

and imagine if you can...the very idea that we will know means what? It means that God as perceive it to be left us no clear evidence that there was indeed a heaven or after-life that depended on how we lived this life. One would logically think that God would have at least left us some clear evidence of a heaven that we could all go to depending on if we did the right thing in this life. I personally find it strange that of all the people that supposedly came back....like when Jesus was on the mount and when Prophet Muhammed rode Baruk that no one came back....no one said nothing....no one left even a hint that there was indeed an afterlife or heaven that we should all be striving to get to. Now why was that???? No Prophet, no angel, no one at all....and yet I'm asked to go on blind faith? Something is wrong with that picture. In all actuality, we don't even have any idea of a hell existing. Our concept came from some European name Dante. He did a piece called "Dante's Inferno" and it became our concept of hell.

Now the only way I can conceive of a Supreme Being leaving no clear evidence of anything what so ever is if we are dealing with a God of confusion or something made up by those who control the written word.

Even among our selves(as African People) We divinde Denominations(Evangalistinc Baptist, Prophetic) as christias, that is already enough to do it. But then we have those whe are not christian at all and "true" christians often choose to segregate and seclude themselves from othere Affrican Religion as if they feel they are bad.
Actually sounds like something we were made to think Doesn't it?
But I have also found that certain religion(non-Christian) Boast of their found religion, now that greatens the separation because of that "belief" or Thinking that they are better then some one else. If we are all people, Are we NOT allowed to love eachother as brother and Sister in the MOST HIGH? I won't Make you say Jesus is you dont make me say Buddah

I once stated that "religion" organized or un-organized is the biggest dividing factor there is among our people. If we look at the number of threads in this forum we will see the reality of it. I also stated that "our greatest strength which is our connectedness withour Creator...however we saw that reality also became our greatest weakness and the area of our existence that they manipulated to control us"

How so?
