these religions should be for the upliftment of all people of all races. the Bible does not discriminate among races. the Word itself should be an upliftment for everyone. we also need to take more control of our own finances either with small home-based businesses or large businesses. a lot of good can be done for our community and if we share our abundance, not only of wealth but of knowledge, to those who want to help themselves.

Brother, it's interesting that more of us at present are seeking the answers that are of similiar nature as yours.
We are indeed having this discussion in Brother Okpara Nosakhere's recent blog entitled, "Images" and the one he posted on November 20th,"Are we not Gods or not?
I'm sure you will find both of these to be enlightening, and your answers lie within.
Peace. Doc

You are right Brother Stephen regarding our resources.
We must also gain control of our educational system for the benefit of our youth.
Our time has come, to regain our unity so we can move forward as a nation of people.

If the Bible does not discriminate, then it is an ansewr to my question right? So where in the Bible is that answer laid out? You see many are very quick to say..."It should be for all people..." but when they say this, somehow "Blacks" are left out of the "all" they are referring to. So I ask you...where does it lay out a plan as I asked for Blacks?

When you look into the HIS-Story of the bible, you will discover the why of exclusion and it's purpose.
It is and was a Stolen Legacy" dissimulated Brother.

"All Faith is false, all Faith is true:
Truth is the shattered mirror strown
In myriad bits; while each believes
His little bit the whole to own."
Sir Richard Francis Burton
British explorer & orientalist (1821 - 1890)

Your question is an honest one as well as controversial.
All of the symbols that represent known religions, such as the Christian Cross,Double Pyramid ( Star of David), Crescent Moon, Star, Tao (Ying and Yang), Swastika(grammaton) and Double Square are representative of the Laws of the Opposites or Duality symbols.

Our ancestors studied nature and realized that the universe exists with opposing forces. Through these observations they created belief systems that would compliment natural laws. We are born into a world where stories were developed into our reality. Not based on facts but beliefs. Unfortunately, these beliefs have added to the destruction of our mental wellbeing and physical through wars and rumors of wars. We are afraid to question due to the pressure of others to believe as they do, even to the point of isolation or bodily harm.

It is ironic that they would do such negative acts in the name of their God. It is psychotic within itself if one thinks about it. Are they causing such pain towards others for themselves or one unseen, and a male image at that, something we should be offended about. Death, fear and destruction for the common good??

Interesting...still no answer to this question
