6 Reasons Young Black People Are Leaving The Church

I'm sure the example of my experience can be used for churches all over America

Black churches especially

There is that nose in the air vibe that the older members give off that turns people away

It's a major flaw in African American churches that keeps many away from the word of God and steers them into the wrong direction

I am still a Christian and will always be one btw
Respect, man...just make sure you are studying because that is more important than anything else.

The funny part is, the few "community" acts they do...they do nowhere near the neighborhoods around old nat. The most they've done over there is buy up property to build more parking lots for their "members" to park.
See, I heard he bought the property for a different reason and you mean to tell me it was just to accommodate parking for the members...:hmm:

:yes::yes::yes:



Mannnnn, the same church that not only stood idle, while my ancestors were enslaved, but were complicit in this? Oh hell nawl:smh:

If you didn't help us then, what makes me think you'd help us now?

God is real. Organized religions are a scam.
:itsawrap:

The books of the bible were written by people that came out of and lived in Northern Africa/Middle East. Even the locations that they give are still in Africa/Middle East; Egypt, The River Nile, Jericho, etc... The "bible" makes its way to Europe and you got Catholicism a few centuries later you have the blonde haired jesus (which in the bible is NOT an accurate description of Jesus he looked more like Osama than what Mel Gibson thinks)

Long before Islam was hijacked Christianity was, so I don't subscribe to the slave masters religion... Hell I don't even subscribe to King James religion.

Not trying to tell anyone is wrong for their beliefs, just the "slave master" religion says Jesus, Noah, Moses and various Pharaohs were white, but the bible doesn't mention ANY white people. White people aren't indigenous to the areas in the bible.

Jesus wasn't poor either he was a carpenter that profession was known for making money. Also a carpenter before Black and Deckker so everything had to have been done by hand which means he probably had at least 75lbs on the picture you are used to seeing. So again I can be a Christian and not subscribe to the someone else's "doctrine"
Nice breakdown...

"The Church" is a business.. It's simple as that.
Whelp, there ya go.:lol:

This explains partially my disdain with religions and their everlasting life scenario to eliminate death.

You are supposed to act a certain way as a human, you are already supposed to be honorable, to have integrity, to follow the principles which makes living among other humans harmonious... to expect a gift for something you should be doing is like the constant search for a hook up.
Oh, this quote is sooo rich...:lol:

anyone who feels they have to be in church or be in church every sunday is LOST.... bottom line is most folks in the church are lost sheep......


When I am in church I dont learn sometimes... not that i know errythang but what the pastor preaches is mere common phreaking SENSE usually


I am not gonna praise someone who cant teach me and make me learn more so than not.........

hypocrites live in the church.... they judge all the time and think that them being there makes them more "christian" than u...


Show me a church who takes up a collection once a month and that will be a church that I know is there for the right reasons!

U cant be contrite and right if u are making millions off of Gods word....Hell i dont even like gospel music going commercial and making millions..I dont like that at all..... But thats another topic

I digree:angry:
Yeah, church every Sunday and the commercialization of gospel don't sit too well with me either.
 
As a daughter of a preacher, I can tell you why I stopped going. The people in the church is more wicked than the people outside. Every evil thing you can think of, is being done in the church. I never seen so many cliques formed since High School. Ive never meet so many unfriendly people in my life. :smh:

I love the Lord but I can't waste time on foolishness.

Bingo!!! once I turned 18 I stopped my sunday ritual, I do miss some of the more productive community events, such as food drives and clothing drives, but I can go to a local non-profit and pitch in and help just as I would in the church setting. Each time I meet up with a someone who goes to church regular it reminds me why I don't go. I do not have time to measure up to someone interpretation of faith to my own, and be told I am not faithful enough or I rely to much on "man". And for the cliques, geez.. I married a preachers daughter who shares the same feeling. My side of family staffed the administrative wing of large church in my hometown for many years, and yes the high school microcosm syndrome in the church is real. The issue is not that the church has conflicts we are human conflicts will happen, its how the members of the church represent and manage the conflict. Reminds me of parents that project there child is the greatest in the world and can do no wrong, but lets them cuss them out and throw crap at them in the house. Just be real and say the kid is kid and we are working on some behavior issues.
 
Then stay home and read the bible, You don't have to go to church to believe in God.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Our history as a people are in the pages of the bible. Don't let these crooked ass churches scare you away from finding out the truth. Stay at home and read about your people. :yes::yes::yes:


I learned back when I was a shorty not to fuck with any of these churches, but I would always try to gain knowledge from the positive historical text of the bible.:D

wow


i must say i have to co sign with all of this..............
 
Im a hustler, and as a hustler, i know when I'm being hustled!

The Church Game is just another hustle to fill pockets of Crocked Preachers, That used to be Ex-Felons,Pimps,and Hustlers.

What is the church being done about massive Black Unemployment?, Gang Violence,etc..

Black People should pool our money and build business, and wealth, That how we can help each other,

Stop giving your money to these hustlers, That Are driving Benzs, while you take the B60 to work! :yes:

Cosign!

little things like FACTS have no place on BGOL. they will still continue to speak these lies while the white man knows where he stole religion from.
 
Lets be realistic here... Everyone keeps talking about how people in the church are "hustlas" that they can't trust, about how judgmental the people are, the "Clan's, Posse's, Crew's & Clik's" (Heltah Skeltah) that are formed... That is just human nature, hell those same characteristics are found in 75% if not more of the members here on this board. But despite the tranny posts, the white women, the over descriptive of male genitalia, lying of professions, the black women bashing, the black men bashing, the black bashing, the Database Errors, etc, etc... WE ALL KEEP COMING BACK. If the religious experience isn't for you or you just haven't had one then just say that, but to single out a group of people for being people, well you are kinda doing the same thing that you don't like done to you. Just in a setting that has you on top of the food chain

What do u mean by feminine energy?
I just noticed a lot of undercover dudes are into that shit and it don't make sense because the church is supposedly anti gay

Feminine energy?


The church uses female energy such as intuition & trust over logic, acceptance over assertion, & emotional responses over logical informative ones. The congregation mirrors the energy in the building (men & women). Most "men" I speak to are uninterested in the passive, inactive, aimless position of today’s church, but attend out of honor/respect or to pursue women

The church is only anti-gay in "verse" but the "actions" historically of the Christian Church has NEVER been opposed to homosexuality

So you are talking about the church building....not Christianity, correct?
 
Long before

So again I can be a Christian and not subscribe to the someone else's "doctrine"

Who said Jesus was poor?

They fought over his clothing when he went to the cross....cause it was nice clothing....

His message was to the poor downtrodden and sinner......

where does it say that he was poor?

Did you read my post?!?! I said he "wasn't poor", that his "profession was known for MAKING money". Someone in an earlier post about Jesus being poor is what I was referring too.

I saw that you said that he wasnt poor....I thought you were referring to the bible saying he was poor....

my mistake...
 
With the information era (the Internet) more black people are exposed to the truth about the church, and for the first time we are questioning the validity, agenda and even the origin of the church and its affect on the black community..
 
Yes since most inanimate objects create and transfer energy. I can't believe I forgot that chapter of Newtons Principia



:confused::confused::confused:


Bro, everything has energy.

What you are calling inanimate is some shit CACs made up because they didn't understand that we are just a part of the universe.... they found it necessary to create "the other" so that they could try to control it.


Those very things you call inanimate vibrate at the molecular level

Khem-istry

You know what, great perspective...I need to keep this in mind, for real.:)

Man, thank goodness!!!
 
Last weekend two christians came to my door early on a Saturday. A black woman and a young white man. The black woman tried to hand me a flyer with white jesus on it. I told her to take white jesus and the white boy with her off my property or i was going to let my boxer out. The bitch left the flyer in my gate. They always try to save sombodies soul but refuse to spend that money on buisinesses to save you from poverty. Fuck them and the bullshit they peddle.

Any black person praying for white jesus to save them are already beyond help and hope.

That alone.:smh:

Shocking how many black folk still unabashedly promote a white Jesus figure.
 
I am the son of a pastor. If you leave the church, don't blame it on the way others act for your decision to leave but be honest with yourself.

In my opinion, most people don't want to fully give their life to God and live a true christian life. A lot of people want to serve God and the Devil at the same time and that will not work. You can't do things that you know goes against living a christian life and then say I am a christian. The word of God never changes but people do and try to bend the rules to make their own conscious feel better. You don't go to church to see what others are or not doing but to come together and praise God with like minded people. Everyone has to evaluate themselves by what the Bible says and go from there. Going to church alone doesn't make you a christian but living Christ like will. Remember, the Devil was an angel until he was kicked out of heaven for going against God's will and this still applies today.

This whole thread needs to identify what its talking about.....

If its simply the church cool....its easy to shit on people claiming to be holy....

but this thread can t say bullshit like.....

The preachers are crooks........fuck Christianity......meanwhile Christianity says thou shall not steal.....the preacher is the problem....not the faith....

so feminine energy as you put it......the church may have that....cause its 70% female......

but female energy in Christianity itself....please identify...

Valid point, I was using "building" as a metaphor for the priests, clergy and authority figures in Christianity today. A house stands on it's foundation, the bible has been altered many times to promote the agenda of the ruling class starting with the Romans to King James the 6th (both were sexually duplicitous)

Nothing in the universe lacks balance.

other than the older folks who grew up in a whole diff era.

mostly simpletons go to church.
 
the main reason young people don't go to church is that they no longer live with their mom and dad. show me a person in their 20's going to church and i'll show you a person living with the parents. when you're a kid you have to go to church. there was no way to get out of it except for extreme sickness. :smh:

lol... you're right about that! Mom and dad working together was that 1-2 punch no kid in the neighborhood could get away from. They would've had these modern day, narrow-minded kids, sittin' in church passing the collection plate, whether they liked it or not!:yes: :yes::yes:

ankheru, I hear you, but I try to stay away from color.

It is key to point out their manipulation, but since there is proof that "christianity" predates christ, I just want them to vet what they beleive, that's all.

When you look into Europe, it's f*cking black madonna's and jesus's everywhere, it's just that Africans in America are behind the times and I just want them to QUESTION why they believe what they believe...just question!

Start there, then let's get them conscious!

maybe this cac racist can open some of these black church folks eyes. :rolleyes:

:eek::lol::smh:I could not stop laughing but I felt ashamed.

I agree with your first statement, don't blame others for not going.

I did and then I owned my conscious decision to not go because I had always been a voracious reader and the sh!t in the bible kept not adding up, not adding up, not adding up, from a logical and salvation standpoint...that I had to SUBTRACT IT from my life.:angry:

I needed to be around like minds!

What is a true christian lifestyle?

I have never gotten a good answer or the same answer from any christian I talked to.

I am asking because there are well over two dozen versions of the bible, so the "word of god" has changed at least this many times.:rolleyes:

Then there is the old testament and the new testament, mashed up together as one book with lost books and lost gospels that were chosen to not be included, yet it is still the "complete and true word of god".:confused:

Then there are over 40,000 christian denominations!:eek: FAM, FORTY THOUSAND, whose interpretation of that "true christian" is correct?

The story of god kicking lucifer out of heaven is an allegory, but makes perfect sense.

Since "they" want you to believe in god without questioning, he "would" kick out Lucifer (translation: the bearer of LIGHT) out of heaven and claim him as the bad guy so it could be made easier for people not to think for themselves for easier control.

In all fairness, I have not been awake my entire life, but when I did I started studying the truth even harder than I studied the lie and I studied the lie HARD!:lol:

Read: christianity before christ, since you are truly into living a life like christ...there were many, so choose wisely.;)

I guess the people in general are becoming less Christian and more atheists.
That's where I made my mistake, first waking up. I was so disgusted with the lie I was living, that I just denounced god all the way, but we as Africans have always been connected to the spirit world, so before you go athiest, look at consciousness as you recover from christianity.

When you understand the god conept, outside of religion, the taste won't be so nasty in your mouth and one may not be as quick to say they don't believe in god because they begin to understand that everything is god...including you, including me, including all else in the universe.

the main reason young people don't go to church is that they no longer live with their mom and dad. show me a person in their 20's going to church and i'll show you a person living with the parents. when you're a kid you have to go to church. there was no way to get out of it except for extreme sickness. :smh:
Man, where are you from?

Ninja this the south and the indoctrination is STRONG!

When I left for college and when I moved to Atlanta, I dated PLENTY of chics who f*ck and s*ck during the week, but was gon' be up in that church house as late teenagers and early adults, lookin' for that word.

I had friends who joined frats, or not, and slutted whores out all week long, but they found some place to show they face and drop bread in the collection plate.

Playa, it's a way of life for some people!:smh:
 
Another reason is they are finding out the pastor and deacons are preaching one thing and doing another. Living double lives.
