DeepSight: Why do you say "education alone?" What is wrong with you? Why do you try to isolate each factor we point out? No matter what we say, you try to pretend we are saying that is the only cause. How many times do I have to shout that there are myriad interlocking factors?
If I talk about history, you will say its in the past. If I talk about climate you will say that is long story. If I talk about colonization you will say I am blaming whites. If I talk about time, you will say laziness. And yet you dare talk about greed, the same greed that is common to humanity and which right nw is on lavish open display with Trump without an iota of condemnation from you and tctrills and co.
No one ever isolated one factor alone and its madness to keep saying "its not this alone, its not that alone" when we all agree its many things. You are just a Trump hater. What open display of greed? When you guys accuse Trump of corruption, no one takes you serious and for good reason. |

IjeBos: This post still has me laughing.
One of the biggest stories in the US today is Trump's slush fund as it one of the most corrupt acts of any President in US History. And not only did this guy think it was meaningless, but he thought it was meaningless because it didn't relate to what we all know is the main topic of this thread "Blacks messing up".
And to make it more hilarious, a few posts later he claims to understand the US culture better than I do but seems to not be able to open a US news site to even understand the top stories. This again is a leftist distraction. The same left calling for reparation asking non slave owners to give money to non slaves is accusing Trump of corruption. This is only a big deal to leftists and no one else. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Does God In Religion Act So Human? by tctrills: 7:49pm On May 19 |
sonmvayina: Let me explain to you like you are in primary 6. God created the heavens and earth and everything that is within it. He saw that everything was good. Then on the last day of creation, he took dust from the earth and molded the statue of a man. He then sent his spirit into it and the statue came to life, made another one and added some judicious features and sent his spirit into it and it also came to life....so God spirit is not living inside the statue. So that spirit can now experience life ...he can enjoy his creation.. That is what each one of us is. We are God's spirit experiencing life in various ways as humans....when our time is up. Our spirit returns to God and becomes one with it and our body is buried and it becomes one with the earth(Ecclesiastes 12:7) so which one needs saving. And you see why I said that death is an illusion. It is just return to default. So as the human population continues to increase it becomes important for them to live in peace and remind us where we came from hence the Torah, then for those who don't know and don't want to know.....like you. They created religion to control you. As I said, we have different religions. Thanks for explaining yours like I am in primary 1 |

sonmvayina: P
That is why God only gave us laws to follow so that we will live in peace amongst ourselves. He never said we should worship anything, if he wanted, he would have told us or given us the mode of worship.
Because we are all Gods, you focus too much on the body and forget what is actually inside or living within it.u Anyway, everyone has his own religion. In your religion, your god is not worshipped, he only gave you commandments. It's ok |

IjeBos: I don't do the gaslighting and emotional manipulation of my words.
You wrote this, I didn't:
Are you saying you can't defend that now and it was just an emotional childish retort? If so, just say that. It was a simple question. Explain how you understand American culture better than I do. You don't live in the US. I think you've tacitly admitted that. Have you studied it? Do you have some degree in US culture? Or did you learn about it in the 2 weeks you claim you were in the US?
The problem is that you seem to have some psychology what makes you believe you can be an authority on a topic you really have no experience in. So, why should anything else that comes out of your moth not be as worthless as the statement, "you understand American culture better than [I] do?" Everyone on this thread can see that you are the most uncomfortable by my presence for reasons best known to you and you are fighting it with all you have. |

And you are qualified to have that discussion because you understand American culture better than I do? Is that what you are saying? Either way, why don't you establish how you understand American culture better than I do. Let's get into your tiny mind. If you don't hate Trump and you believe blacks should take responsibility of their lives, it means you have never been to America. You have a strange way of thinking |

The problem is clearly you don't want to admit that. Because even you know putting a facade over that is central to u spending hours arguing against a culture you barely understand.

Theawakensoul: 🌌 WEEKLY SERIES — DAY 2
WHY DOES GOD IN RELIGION ACT SO HUMAN?
Let’s ask a question most people were never encouraged to think deeply about:
If God is infinite… beyond time… beyond emotion… beyond human limitation…
👉 why does God in many religious texts behave so much like ancient human rulers?
Think about it honestly.
Religion often describes God as: 👉 jealous 👉 angry 👉 offended 👉 demanding worship 👉 punishing disobedience 👉 favoring certain tribes 👉 ordering violence 👉 requiring sacrifice
Now pause.
🔥 Are these truly divine qualities… or reflections of ancient human psychology?
---
🌿 PART 1 THE GOD OF ANCIENT SOCIETIES
Ancient civilizations were built around: 👉 kings 👉 empires 👉 tribal loyalty 👉 warfare 👉 patriarchy 👉 obedience to authority
The ruler was feared. The ruler demanded loyalty. The ruler punished rebellion. The ruler rewarded submission.
And when people imagined God…
they often imagined: 🔥 a cosmic version of the same ruler.
A heavenly king.
So naturally: 👉 anger became divine wrath 👉 tribal loyalty became “chosen people” 👉 war became “holy war” 👉 obedience became salvation 👉 punishment became eternal judgment
The psychology of human power structures became projected onto the Divine.
---
🌿 PART 2 THE QUESTION OF JEALOUSY
Many scriptures describe God as: 👉 jealous
But think carefully about that.
Jealousy usually comes from: 👉 insecurity 👉 fear of losing control 👉 emotional attachment 👉 ego identity
So why would an infinite being need: 👉 validation? 👉 praise? 👉 exclusive worship?
Would infinity really feel threatened by human beings praying differently?
Or is jealousy a deeply human emotion later projected onto God by ancient cultures trying to protect tribal identity?
Because tribal societies survived through: 👉 loyalty 👉 unity 👉 obedience to one system
And religion became one of the strongest tools for preserving that unity.
---
🌿 PART 3 BLOOD SACRIFICE AND PUNISHMENT
Now let’s go deeper.
Many religious systems taught: 👉 sacrifice 👉 blood offerings 👉 punishment for sin 👉 divine wrath needing satisfaction
But ask yourself honestly:
🔥 Why would an all-powerful Source require blood to forgive?
Ancient humans practiced sacrifice long before many organized religions formed.
Why?
Because ancient cultures believed: 👉 the gods needed appeasement 👉 blood carried spiritual power 👉 suffering satisfied divine anger
And over time… those same ancient ideas became embedded inside religious systems.
But does infinite consciousness really operate through vengeance and appeasement?
Or were humans interpreting the mystery of existence through the mindset of their era?
---
🌿 PART 4 FAVORITISM AND TRIBAL GODS
Another difficult question:
Why do many religions present God as: 👉 favoring one tribe? 👉 one nation? 👉 one religion? 👉 one chosen group?
History shows ancient societies were extremely tribal.
Every tribe believed: 👉 “our god protects us” 👉 “our people are chosen” 👉 “our enemies are evil”
And suddenly… God begins reflecting human tribalism too.
But if Source created all life…
would Source truly: 👉 hate entire populations? 👉 divide humanity into favorites? 👉 condemn billions based on geography and culture?
Or does that sound more like human tribal identity projected onto the heavens?
---
🌿 PART 5 THE BIG QUESTION
This does not mean spirituality is fake.
It means humanity may have mixed: 👉 divine mystery with 👉 human psychology
And maybe many religious descriptions of God tell us as much about ancient human societies… as they do about ultimate reality.
Because maybe Source is not: 👉 angry 👉 insecure 👉 tribal 👉 emotionally reactive
Maybe those were human attempts to explain the unknown through the lens of power, fear, survival, and control.
And maybe awakening begins when people stop fearing God as a cosmic ruler…
and start seeking the deeper intelligence behind existence itself.
🔥 Because if God is truly infinite…
why does God in religion behave so much like ancient men?
Drop your thoughts below. Let them come. 🌿

DeepSight: Of course not, its work in progress and its not a journey of a single day or even a single lifetime. I just reminded TV01 how your beloved Israel has literally been in the same conflict for thousands of years, since he ws bringing up the conflict of the Fulani and Yoruba as proof that Africa will stagnate or regress in the next 200 years.
By the way do you share that view? You speak about work in progress right so what work is being carried out now? No matter how small, mention some of the things the black man is doing today that will ensure that golden future in the next 1000 years. Also, you forget that there is also a possibility of the next 1000 years becoming worst than today. How can you tell that we are even on the right direction |

DeepSight: Unless you dont believe in cause and effect, even for them, there is a cause, a reason, and explanation for everything. That is the law of cause and effect. Unless you believe in voodoo.
So when you say things like - oh the problem is absentee husbands. Please follow up with "Why?" Rather than make it appear as though God created blackmen with that unique tendency.
When tctrills says oh, its leadership and corruption, he should do the same - ask why such poor leadership and why such corruption, rather than make it appear as though it comes naturally with black skin.
And when someone is giving you well researched scientific answers, all you can do is throw up your hands and shout "excuses!" If your research is as good as you claim, you shouldn't be getting angry and it should provide you with answers to our questions. Your research did not seem to prepare you for questions |

DeepSight: If you know the bold to be true, you have been wasting our time arguing against the obvious. Can you also discount the circumstances of birth?
Abi it doesn't matter if someone was a homeless orphan and you compare his struggle to that of Dangote's child? And if he reminds you that he was a homeless orphan you shout "excuses!" Good So me can't change the circumstances of our birth but we can only make better choices today right? What choices are we making today? Or do we keep blaming the circumstances of our birth? |

DeepSight: Pls dont try to flip your own logic on me. Its tctrills that brought Peruvian desert into the matter and I am asking you if Peru is now a developed first world country. If it is not then the argument you were championing falls apart on that score.
This is aside the fact that I troubled myself to extract the differences in the deserts. In fact, one dessert helps another, but forget it. You guys are too lazy for that level. Mongolia is very cold, how come it isn't developed, same goes for Siberia |

GracieX3: What was your whack solution?
A vague, useless answer- leadership, culture and habits.
I gave you a concrete solution- education and creating trade businesses in black neighborhoods. Trust me, New York is trying your concrete solution spending a fortune on each child's education but only 10% of it's black kids end up with the right reading skills. But according to you, that makes them number one in the US. To me, that's failure. Definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting it to work. |
