That's my biggest grip. Everything is a contradiction with culture and religion mixed up.As the son of Haitian immigrants i feel this, but on the haitian side more so culture and religion are intermixed and interchangeable when they want it to be. when i got old enough to think for myself and find my own path with religion i had to separate what was haitian parents being haitian parents and what was scripture. still doing it to this day and i can say ive changed my parents minds on a lot of things in recent years.

In my opinion
Christianity is a pillar of white supremacy
Islam is a pillar of arab supremacy
The more religious a society, the less innovative a society.
No matter what religion it is.
Religiosity stifles innovation, but at the same time, innovation and science weaken religiosity.
Christ wasn’t a Christian. Buddha wasn’t a Buddhist. Mohammed wasn’t a Muslim.
Spirituality and Science go together.
Religion and Science don’t.
my Christianity takes place 99% within my own head and the 1% is how i treat other people. if that makes sense.
Would you please elaborate?

I LOVE THAT QUOTE
If you call jesus your lord and saviour? Then you are anything but spiritual. If your religion tells you that women are to be second class citizens? Then your religion has no connection to anything spiritual. If your religion tells you that sex between two consenting adults is wrong? Then your religion can go and jump in a lake.
Forever.
The abrahamic faiths will handcuff you spiritually, especially women, destroying the right to self preservation. This is the reason that I LOVE the story of the Haitian revolution, and the effect that Dutty and the High Priestess had upon the people. With the influence of VooDoo, they brought down white supremacy, and it can be done again. Without TRUE spirituality? We've been locked in limbo for the past 400 years here in North America.
We need to get back to our own thing. Worship the ancestors, not the impostors.
Whenever I pray to my ancestors? Things get done. I see people praying to deities that simply love being prayed to, and I see them still on their knees, still begging for a forgiveness that should not be asked for. You fight to survive, and you kill to live. If someone is in your way, becoming an obstacle, why would I want to believe the same way that those who created the obstacle believe?
Funny enough, I think my Pops started secretly following it as of late.
pretty much how i see it. if you look at me and say "wow youre at peace, i wanna know what youre doing" ill share what i believe and keep it moving. other than that, i let people rock. especially if theyre treating people (especially black people) well.Meh - I have no authority to say what is and what isn’t when it comes to other peoples personal beliefs.
All I care about it how you treat others.
If Religion puts you in a place where you do unto others as you would like done unto you - Great!
If Spirituality puts you in a place where you do unto others as you would like done unto you - Great!
If Atheism puts you in a place where you do unto others as you would like done unto you - Great!
If None of the Above puts you in a place where you do unto others as you would like done unto you - Great!
IMHO what we truly believe is manifested in our ways and actions…regardless of what we call it.
