Marriage Equality Will Not Infringe on Your Right to Be a Bigot

Mar 27, 2013 No Comments by

I hate to tell you this, but I don’t think “God” really cares if gay people got married. Why? Because I don’t see him burning down cities like he did Sodom & Gomorrah back in the day. No seriously, where are the lightning bolts, meteor showers, and plagues? Heck, Vegas is still standing and they [...]

Al Sharpton is a Hypocrite on Gun Control and the Second Amendment

Jan 28, 2013 No Comments by

A funny thing has happened with the gun control debate that I didn’t see coming; but, to tell you the truth, I should have seen it coming before now. After all, with all the talk of keeping guns out of the hands of “bad guys.” I’d be a liar if I didn’t admit that I [...]

Let’s face it, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been watered down over the years. As opposed to being tghe radical he was in his lifetime, Dr. King’s legacy has been reduced to one line in a speech as was pointed out in an earlier post. For many, it’s hard to imagine [...]

7-Year-Old Beaten to Death by Stepdad for not Reading Bible While Mom Watched

Dec 08, 2012 8 Comments by

After reading this, you may ask: How can a mother stand there and let a man do such a thing to her child? Well, the answer is easy: The Bible teaches women to “submit” to their husbands. Additionally, it also says, “Spare the rod, spoil the child.” That said, isn’t it easy to understand why [...]

Single-Mom Confuses Son as Brother Years After Dad Impregnates Her

Oct 25, 2012 6 Comments by

Not to belabor a point, but let’s follow-up on what I wrote yesterday in response to Richard Mourdock’s ridiculous comment. Yes, let’s take another look at the idea that a woman becoming pregnant as a consequence of being raped needs to succumb to “God’s will,” and as such, should not be allowed to legally have [...]

Man, y’all black people play too damn much. OK, so I know y’all love Jesus a lot; yes, black folk go to church eight days a week and three times on Sunday. So yeah, there’s no question about that; and no, I’m not gonna put y’all on front street about the “white man’s religion” thing. [...]

Race and Religion in America’s Current Political Landscape

Aug 01, 2012 1 Comment

If you’d like to review that before continuing, it’s posted here. The views on race in general in this country have a distinctly religious flavor, in my [...]

Jul 28, 2012 5 Comments

Remember when president Obama “evolved” recently, and publicly expressed his new support for same-sex marriage? Remember the ruckus his new position created with church folk? Yes, the same Christians who saw this as an attack on the sacred institution of marriage? The same Christians who will argue with anyone until the rapture, that marriage was [...]

Religion: Black Folks Don’t Do Atheism, Or Do They?

Jul 24, 2012 2 Comments

The one looming thing that has always been an enduring force in the Black community (since slavery was abolished), is the Black Church. The Black Church comes in several different denominations and almost seems to be a given, if you’re part of the Diaspora and specifically if you’re Black-American. While it may not always come [...]
