Hello Everyone and welcome to the Second AfroSpear Carnival on Religion.
Two brave souls so far have dipped into this subject with honesty and clarity.
First, Femigog @Sable Eklectik lets loose with righteous truth in “Carnival of Faith.”
Then, we have DJ Black Adam in counterpoint to Femigog, providing his analysis with “Is Christianity the White Man’s Religion?”
The AfroSpear is a diverse Universe. These are but two opinions among many. We look forward to hearing far more, as well as a frank discussion of whether or not religion – including Islam, etc – can be part of liberatory process for our people.
Additions/Updates:
Ensayn dissects the roots of what we refer as Christianity in “Krst root of Christ.”
Asabagna reflects on “What Really Matters” in regards to religion and negritude.
The Freeslave rambles on “Religion: What is it good for?”
brotherpeacemaker enlists the Borg collective for an assimilationist perspective of religion in “Resistance is futile”

Sorry that my submission is late… but I posted my effort above. Excellent topic and interesting submissions so far.
Thanks Ensayn. Asa, I’m going to yours right now!
The version of Christianity practiced today is not even a relic of that practiced by Chrst. The almagamation of European paganism and non Judaic dietary dispensations shows their is great European influence in modern Christianity..
I have a post on the Michael Medved Fracas that I would you all to come check out and make comments. I’m a new Blogger on the block.

I am mad I missed this through my only-periodical blog browsing! I love the post by DJ Adam and Femigog. Even the comments were educational and interesting! I wish that someone would have expanded more on the ‘pagan’ religions that live in Africa, that traveled to the Caribbean and the US. No mention of the Yoruba, Ife, Santeria and what the white media calls Voodoo. I am not a practicioner, but have studied them a wee bit. I mean wee! lol. But I just find it so interesting and confounding when it is mentioned, how folks (esp. Christians) recoil as if the Devil himself tapped them on the shoulder. Though these days, Islam gets the same reaction, I never could understand why these perfectly legit religions get the stank treatment from others.
