Over Church'd

According to research African Americans worship, pray and attend church more than any other group in the United States. No group is more committed to their faith.

"I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." ... are the words uttered from the mouths of athletes, entertainers, politicians, and more, without a good percentage of them doing any research into the protagonist of the plagiarized Roman story, told to us in the pseudo 'Holy' Bible.

The name itself - Jesus Christ - its illogical, to say the least. "Christ" is a title, originating from the word "Christos", and Jesus is actually a Hispanic appellation, perpetually and globally mispronounced.

"God has been good to me." Well, what's up with the starving children in Ethopia? God hasn't been so good to them now has 'He'? Unbiased  inquisitive minds would like to know.

Dr. Benjamin Mays in the 1930s-40s raised the issue: "Is the Black community over-churched?" Are there too many churches in Black communities? Are there more of these institutions than we can afford to support? ... At a time when we have such great poverty in the African American community.

Why are there so many churches and why are we doing so badly, as Black folks, despite the extreme number of churches? Is there a correlation between our high-praise and low-productivity?

The answer would be a resounding YES!

African American Christians (approximately 35 million) are donating - with ZERO ROI - close to $2.5 BILLION weekly to their respective congregations.

Read and research for yourself and you'll find out that you've been taken for a RIDE. In the words of Malcolm X...

"Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had! Ya been took! Ya been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray! Run amok!
