If someone convinces you they have knowledge of the afterlife, it means you've both been outwitted.

What the hell is happening here? And more importantly, are we supposed to believe it?? Are we supposed to believe that this isn't some sort of weird act?? 👀
It’s during Black Lives Matter times when white Americans were standing on their knees in front of black Americans apologising
There was a weird trend of white people apologies in the wake of the Floyd that seemed largely performative. I saw it at protests in the form of “white people to the front” ie you’re gonna get hit by police first
We call this move “the Pelosi”
Show them Kente clothes!!!!
we live in such a weird timeline
Wtf is this shit? No brains among any of them.
That rob dyrdek?
“Systematic” racism
So dumb
Christianity was largely forced on enslaved people in America through a combination of mandatory instruction, strict plantation laws, and the systematic destruction of their native African religion. Many states also changed the law so that getting baptized did not change the legal status of a person as property. In the early 1800s, British and American publishers created a heavily redacted "Slave Bible" for use in the West Indies and American South. Editors cut about 90% of the Old Testament and 50% of the New Testament. They completely erased the Book of Exodus (the story of escape from slavery) and passages stating that all people are equal before God, leaving only verses that commanded submission. Just saying. If a white man comes to you offering God. Run the other way.
Definitely run away.
Generalisations are generally bad. Otherwise we could say all USA citizens like Trump and support him because he got voted in. The banner "Christian" has been used by many people who are absolutely not Christian. It was a Christian movement that brought about the end of slavery as well. Then you have the weird race card play that is just weird. You know Christianity didn't start with white people right?
THANK YOU! I knew this but couldn’t really articulate it. I’ll be quoting you for years now.
Just to make a point, it’s widely accepted by historians, scholars, and the like, that the biblical understanding of slavery was in no way what the Americans with an agenda turned the Bible into; further, Islam states plainly to capture and take sex slaves, and possesses the largest slave trade ongoing in the world today. The white man offers God, the brown man forces you. Not to mention Africans trafficked other Africans to the white man before old whitey even knew what Africa was. GTFO of here with that shit lol
Your first paragraph is very true, slaveowners snd the slave industry worked double-time to convert slaves to this twisted and basterdized version of Christianity by butchering the Word. They also prohibited slaves from reading the Bible except in very rare cases, some of which turned rebellious like Nat Turner. It disgusts me that Christianity and the Bible was manipulated the way it was but there is nothing but healing, love and grace from the Word of God and Christianity. Nowadays the important part is to not fall into pits like these modern day conservative evangelists that worship idols like our president and his golden statue. They are being misled just as much as an atheist is being misled. I don't mean to spark anger or discourse but I want anyone who's willing to seek God to know that they can and should do so.
100%. Always blown my mind how many people can stomach the history of how their people “found” their religion. But I’d upgrade that to If \*anyone comes offering you god. It’s all the same god, they the black person is selling you the same thing the white person is.
As a brown person, if I get approached by a white person I don’t know, I’m making them leave.
Let's be honest it was largely forced on the world by the Catholic church.
If 90% of the Old Testament was cut out and 50% of the New Testament then Christianity wasn’t forced on people it was some other peoples bull shit lmao.
“You’ve reached the answering service for God. At the moment we are busy preparing the next earthquake. Please leave a message and your prayer will be answered. You are number 5,004,023,947 in line”
Fk this. It irks the sht out of me.
There's a spaceship waiting for them.
Hey look, it’s tough times out there, as long as these people aren’t forcing others to follow, let em have this. It looks weird as hell to me, but I’m sure if they saw me at the creek down the street with a pinecone in ass while jerking off on minnows in an attempt to make a real-life Seaman, they’d think I was weird too.
Religion is a cancerous cult. Especially when they weaponize their scriptures.
This is more performative than the whole performative male trend.
why watch netflix when you can watch this drama instead
All bought and paid for
These people are so good at being brainwashed. It’s no wonder they make up the majority of the Republican Party.
I've never seen a Republican kneel at the feet of a black man and beg them and the Lord for forgiveness; this is 100% more of a liberal/Dem thing.
I was in a methadone clinic for heroin addiction in 2022 and the junky behind me was yelling about the vaccines killing people. Who knows what crazy shit they had in their bloodstream… anyway I then realized we’re on a sinking ship. Some people are really concerned and want to help, some people are stupid and deny the ships sinking and won’t listen to reason. But we’re all on the same sinking ship. Regardless I’ve been sober since then because I want to make the best of my own personal situation.
This is some southern Christian bullshit . Weird as hell . I didn’t enslave anyone and nether did my ancestors just cause I’m white bruh . We came over from Ireland and Germany in like 1850 then fought for the north. I ain’t bowing down to shitttt
I’m willing to bet that these people think Islam is ridiculous.
For a split second I thought it was the mannequin challenge
Looks overly and obviously performative. Just why?
Shit got weird with BLM in the aftermath of George Floyd
Why is it whites on one side and black folk on the other?
[removed]
I can’t help but laugh at people dumb enough to follow any “religion”.
These are white people praying for forgiveness from black people during that weird BLM moment in history
The Onion making videos now?
I bet none of those white folk live near any of the black folk…
Well fuck all suprising about this country at all, given any timeline, its even progressed since then.

Hey look, I'm all for fixing all our shit, but I don't see any reason to kneel to anyone.
When you believe in something without evidence (faith), ANYTHING can be justified
