This is for all you Bible Thumpers out there
Not a single day goes by on BIA where someone doesn't post or debate faith and/or religion. What I'd like to point out is the huge inconsistencies in the arguments that god is omniscient and omni-powerful ... and that most christians argue that the reason to do good is to reap eternal reward or avoid eternal punishment -- a damn selfish reason. A god that would create humans imperfect -- as christians say -- means that he deliberately did so knowing most couldn't follow his rules and would therefore boil in oil for eternity. Give them life for the blink of an eye, set up some rules that billions can't follow, burn them for a trillion years times a trillion. Sort of a pervert, seems to me. And that if you believe in the power of prayer, you must also believe that god is fallable or capricious or both. Now, if people truly keep their religion to themselves, it's ok by me. But as it's becoming more and more public, and the effect is to dumb down our entire black community and poison our ambitions to the point of hopelessness (see MIISRAEL Shields's response to "I have another question!"), it's time to take the gloves off.
