He denounced Christianity as a religion designed for slaves and the Negro clergy as the curse of the black man, exploiting him for their own purposes instead of seeking to liberate him, and acting as handmaidens of the white community in it's determination to keep the Negros in a subservient position.

Butterfinger I have to agree with this opinion and I hate that Christianity is pared down to hatred of differences. As a Christian, my Bible doesn't teach me to hate, but to love and to witness with Christlike love. But now, the organized church acts just like the Pharisees - keep out, you are not like us - and IT IS WRONG. I have made so many enemies of family and friends because I don't accept today's Church. This is why. 4y
Butterfinger This may be my -to have people leave me alone- for #Readwithmrbook @MrBook I don't want people to group me with the only white, only Republican Christian Church, but to group me in I will read, study, and search for the Lord's way of love and forgiveness. #BlackLivesMatterToMe 4y
eanderson So this is what stinks about being a Christian. We get lumped in the radical group of prejudice, racist, and super judgemental. Not all of us fit this. I 100% agree with you that I‘m here to love and witness with Christlike love. I know that I stay silent more than I should because it sucks to be called something when I‘m definitely not in that grouping. I always say, I‘m here to ‘Love God and Love People.‘ That‘s it. I pass no judgement or hate. (edited) 4y

TheBookHippie @Butterfinger SAME !!!! I am the EXACT SAME!!! 4y
TheBookHippie @eanderson only thing I follow love . Love others as self. Just love. I have a relationship -not a religion. I don‘t call myself Christian anymore it‘s such a bad connotation especially where I live. @Butterfinger white evangelicals have long ago ruined church. They are the Pharisees of today for sure. Today‘s church is not in any way reflective of Jesus. 4y
Scochrane26 @eanderson @Butterfinger I get frustrated, too, with some churches. And with the divisions among churches. There‘s a lot of denominations who are very accepting & focus on love, but often get lumped in as “the church”. Most of my denomination is very left. (edited) 4y
eanderson @Scochrane26 I attend a nondenominational church that is definitely very accepting and diverse. I agree. It‘s frustrating because we don‘t want to be lumped in as that ‘the church‘ when we aren‘t of the same disappointing attitude. 4y
Butterfinger @eanderson @Scochrane26 @TheBookHippie thanks for your comments. I was really hesitant about putting myself out there because I do not get the same support and understanding from those close to me. 4y
TheBookHippie @Butterfinger ❤️ Neither do I! 4y
