No Such Thing As White Jesus
I find it bizarre and kind of fucking stupid how We as Black/African/African-American people will acknowledge (well some of us that are aware) that the FIRST man was an African man, but will cry and do the Harlem Shake in church catching the Holy Ghost because of some White man with long flowing brown hair with a well manicured goatee. I just don't see the logic in it, especially when we can go into the history books (no not your Bible) and figure out what exactly your Bible would be talking about if it were true. What I started to do was give people verbatim what in the Bible can be disputed and discredited but then I'd seem like a Christian hating Atheist. I'm not a Christian hater nor am I an Atheist (for those who think I don't believe in ANYTHING) which is pretty much the premise of this blog post. Who told you that YOUR belief is the right belief, a book that supports YOUR belief? Why can't we consider other beliefs and religions? How come it's Christianity/Judaism or the highway? What about Buddhist? What about Scientologists? Why do we have to be so certain about who or what we praise and thank for waking up instead of being grateful the Sun is doing it's job in nature providing trees with sunlight so we can get some fucking oxygen in our lungs to keep us alive? Why do we have to place a face/race/time on a savior instead of Us fixing what's wrong in society instead of just praying to something/one who may or may not be coming the fuck back to fix man-made troubles that literally kill us? Literally kill us... People are dying over religion y'all... We're savages, I don't give a fuck who you praise. If you're praying for troops to come home unarmed and for them to kill people who share different beliefs than you, you're a savage. If you feel like God hates people who share a different race/gender/sexuality/pay/education level/neighborhood than you, you're a savage. Religious texts are suggestions, nobody's God/Gods wrote them a person did. A person with a certain perspective and/or agenda wrote a pamphlet of guidelines and suggestions he/she felt was proper to instill within the persons dwelling this planet at a certain point and time. We can mix different fabrics of clothing, we'll be fine. A woman does not need to be stoned to death for commiting adultery if she is raped. These primitive ass notions being remixed to fit our society (some of them being the original version of themselvves as well) are bogus as fuck, because they are just tools to divide and conquer. Spread Love not Religion. No Such Thing As White Jesus.

That white long flowing hair guy is a Eurocentric projection. Go to the museum and look at all their artwork from that region and it all looks the same. Even if I do take some belief of Jesus, I reject that image thats plastered everywhere. Its very elitist, from the people who put elitism on the map.
Secondly, reviewing some aspects of major (and some minor) religions, they do have some core fundamental concepts that we can apply to our lives and make the world, and life here better. But somehow thats ignored. Of course everything you do/believe should have some aspect of "I think this is right" otherwise you wouldnt do it. But folks be going to the extreme.
If you feel something is right and is the truth, live it. Apply it to your life and do well. That should speak for itself. But folks spend more time condemning others who dont believe what they do, than they actually spend living and applying their beliefs to themselves.
U know what religion reminds me of...Apple. If you like Apple, buy and use Apple products. But no...they spend more time trying to ridicule, put down, scoff at, and convince anyone who doesnt. Somebody goes and buys an iPad, iPhone, MacBook, etc, you'll hear so much preaching from them about how Apple is the best thing ever and you stupid if you dont get on board, before they even open the damn thing and learn how to use it.
I can believe in what I choose and so can you, and we can even have discussions and debates about it, but if I feel its OK to harm you or even hate you because you dont believe the same as me, then I'd have to ask myself "what do I even believe in?"
I say if its truly right, it should speak for itself to others. Otherwise, maybe its just right for you. And if YOU dont get any benefit from it, then maybe its not right for you either.
