The Christian Myth…

Just taking on the task of exposing the Christian myth is daunting,
partly due to the fact that historically Christianity does not have
it’s roots in Christ. I know that many die-hard Christians want my head
for this statement, but recent research sheds light on some interesting
figures in Christianity. One of the things that I cannot understand is this
notion of divine inspiration that is attributed to two central figures in Christianity. One of these figures is well known, the other one remains cloaked in the annals of history. These two figures are Paul and Emperor Constantine. I do not know which one contributed more to Christianity, but what I can say is that Christians owe the existence of their faith to these two men.

I can ramble on and on about dates and historical references, but for the sake of brevity I will highlight some of the interesting characteristics of both of these
men. Both claimed to have seen Christ in a vision. Paul saw Christ on the road to Damascus, and Constantine saw him in a vision, the night before a decisive battle.
According to Constantine the vision of a cross was presented to him, wherein he was given divine instructions to conquer in and by the sign. The sign being the crucifix. Paul’s vision was a confirmation of his apostolic mission, which gave him the authority to speak and act on behalf of Christ. These visions gave both men authority to act on Christ behalf. This Christ experience is very important because many men after wards will use this as their basis for suppressing and oppressing large segments of people. These visions gave these men prestige and religious and political authority in the case of Constantine.

Many Christians do not understand that Paul (whose original name was Saul of Tarsus)
was a Jew. As a side note, many African-Americans do not know what the Jews believe, and due to the Latinization of Christianity, which in my opinion is a Roman religion, many fail to understand that Jesus whose Hebrew name is Yashuah, was a Jew.
We will go into this in depth later, but the fact that many Christians view their religion through the Latin lens, causes problems from the onset of dialogue. Paul’s
main theme throughout his letters is an attempt to abolish Jewish Law. This attempt
posed a problem within the early Christian community because other followers of Christ felt adamantly about upholding the LAW. James the Just the patriarch of the
Church of Jerusalem, expressed his disapproval on Paul’s stance on this issue, and reproved him. Nevertheless, Paul’s radical views led to his demise, by his attempt
to profane the temple by bringing Gentiles into the synagogue. Please note that churches were not in existence at this time in Jerusalem, and that I used this term
earlier to show the distinction between traditional Jewish beliefs, and earlier Jewish dissent. See, James, Peter, and Paul, all believed that the Messiah had arrived.

This was clear in their belief, and put them at variance with traditional
orthodox Judaism, which deemed them to be deviants and heretics. Although they were deemed to be heretical in their beliefs, they still held on to traditional Jewish customs and rites, such as circumcision, etc. Paul stands out in this regard because he allowed the uncircumcised Gentiles to participate in Jewish rites and assemblies, and for this he was killed. For the sake of clarity, Paul was tried as a Roman, and was issued a Roman punishment for inciting a riot, which was a capital offense under
Roman rule. The punishment was beheading. The riot was caused when he attempted to bring Gentiles into a scared precinct. I will present more information on Paul specifically, but my intention now is to give a brief overview, and present his impact on Christianity, which again I must say owes it’s existence to him.

Moving on….

Emperor Constantine, The Great as he is called, is a interesting figure in Christianity because he used his Christ experience, not to become an apostle, but to achieve political success. His story is the perfect blending of religious fervor and political ambitions. A recipe that the Popes would continue to exploit for centuries. Constantine is famous for assembling the Nicene council, which in return gave birth to the Nicene Creed , the under-pinnings of modern Christianity. Due to the fact that there were numerous groups of people masquerading around under the banner of Christianity, he felt that there was a need for an orthodoxy within Christianity. The term catholic has it’s origins here, meaning universal. There was a need for consensus among the Christian community, and this council gave birth to a creed that distinguished christian from pagan, and most importantly, orthodox Christianity from the heretical versions that were in existence during those times. The year was 325 A.D. close to 300 yrs. after Christ. A group of 80 bishops were assembled lavishly, and the majority of them agreed on the nature of Christ, being the “TRUE GOD, from the TRUE GOD. What I find puzzling about this whole ordeal is that throughout all this time, the central creed of Christianity was not CLEAR, and it took Emperor Constantine to clarify the message of Christ. To convene bishops into an assembly, and order them to get to work on formulating this dogma. The Nicene council would be the first of many councils that dealt with the nature of Christ, and the development of Christianity as we know it today.

I am sure that the average Christian has no idea about the above enclosed information. If you did, it would be hard to continue to embrace this belief as divinely inspired . You would either have to come to grips with the reality that Christ failed to make matters clear, and left it up to other men to do so. When it comes to Emperor Constantine, very little is mentioned of him as far as revelation is concerned. I would guess this is due to his savage murder of his son, and wife. This type of behavior is not becoming of a divinely inspired man, especially one that Christ revealed himself to in vision.

There are many angles that I can go with this information, especially when it comes
to dealing with the state of mind my people are in dealing with this religion. As stated earlier in regards to the mis education, or lack of education we have towards
the Jewish belief system , there is also a lack of knowledge when it comes to Catholicism. Catholics do not recognize Protestants as real Christians. Please do not be fooled! The catholic church views itself as the correct and only interpretation of Christianity.

The Pope, a key figure that we as African-Americans know little, to nothing about is viewed as the vicar of Christ. The physical representative of Christ on earth. When he speaks, it is as if Christ himself has spoken. Now this may not seem like a mighty thing to some, but previous popes have issued verdicts that have been detrimental to the rights of many inhabitants of the world. These orders were followed upon, which resulted in numerous people being murdered, raped, and their lands pillaged. All of this was done under the popes auspices, and under the banner of the Inquisition.

I know this is a lot to digest, however it MUST be done. You will notice in this blog that I have failed to include historical references and citations. For those that need this information, I have it, and can present my proofs. This is only right, that I present this information because if not I would be just as guilty as the perpetrators. However, I question my people who demand proofs from their own people, yet they accept wholeheartedly, the words of others as if their mouths were the very oracles of GOD. Part of our sickness transcends into the academic world, wherein, we fail to respect our own scholars, historians, and learned men/women.
Please open your minds!

Introduction The Makings Of a Nigga….

One of the most interesting things that I’ve discovered on
my journey on this planet, is that everything is not what it
appears to be. I say this in regards to some of the things we
hold dear and sacred in the African American community.
This introduction serves as a reminder to myself as I present information
(as unbiased as possible), to the masses. A recent conversation with a colleague of mine shed some light on some of the things that are held sacred within the
African-American community. Our religion, which was given to us by
our previous handlers, owners, and earthly masters reflects our readiness to
accept anything from them. I know that this type of article can easily be found on sites that promote black nationalism and similar views, but my objective is not to present any type of racial superiority.

I often think about my grandmother, who never really took the time to
explore her convictions, partly due to her inability to read and write
on a elementary level. Despite the fact that she knew bible verses verbatim.
And not only did she know these verses verbatim, she was convicted beyond a
shadow of a doubt. This blind conviction strikes me as being odd, especially
in this information age, where traditions and myths are easily challenged.
Despite all the information at our disposal I find it shocking that we as
a people continue to hold on to beliefs that are detrimental to us in nature,
and counter-productive in terms of progressing as a nation.

This blog serves as a catalyst to explore and challenge the beliefs, phobias, and myths that has held us back as a people, as a community, and as nation. I am fully convicted that those outside the community can benefit from some of the information presented here, because they too are victims and blind perpetrators to an extent.

I believe this because human beings keep lies alive, through failing
to confront them with truth. I am also aware of the denial within my
own community when it comes to the presentation of these facts, and
how we are quick to make excuses for people who may not have our best
interest in mind. This is partly due to the trauma associated with
our experience and I identify with this when I see it. My job will
be to help the traumatized see through the trauma, and regain some sense
of normalcy. Many people have came to do this job, and in some shape,
form, and fashion, we have managed to assassinate them in character or
in flesh.

To the reader, please understand that my intention isn’t to bash,
but to raise awareness. It is only right to feel violated when
we feel that our cherished convictions are being trampled upon.
In this blog I will attempt to present the many methods that were
used, and are still being used to subdue, disenfranchise, and control
people that look like me and you. If you feel that wicked people with wicked intentions left religion alone out of a sense of reverence for it, then you are disillusioned. Sadly, religion has been, and continues to be one of the central control mechanisms of the wicked. Yes, this type of manipulation
transcends racial, religious, and gender orientations, but my focus is
on the community I can identify with ~~~ the African-American community.
In my opinion we are the sickest.

Let the healing begin…..
