Wow. Just…. Wow.
Ahahahahaha…..word.
I think you mean… THE Word.
You mean that guy is for real? Are you serious? People fall for that?
Unbelievable.
I believe that’s from Genesis 3:13 –
I’m assuming that’s from the King Jay-Z Version of the Bible.
I guess he doesn’t have enough left over after buying the drugs to get his teeth fixed? He needs to pass the plate again.
How is he floating?!
The Holy Spirit
Green screen + a cameraman with Parkinson’s.
Whatever man, the Holy Spirit totally works though green screens, so either way I’m right!
[/fundie logic]
Totally reminds me of Rick James.
hi im 12 and what is this
F**king sh*t. I thought I was swearing a lot.
Hey, what if this guy’s right and all the other religions are wrong? What if his IS the one true religion, as all others claim to be? We all got a lot of ‘splainin’ to do when we die, motherf**ers.
‘Specially the f**kin’ pope.
WTF was that?
Lol this dude needs some time in a metal facility……..and his “followers”
Did he even have a message?
Of course he did! How could you f*ckin’ miss it, motherf*cker!
What I’d love to know is WHAT is going on with his hair??
Sounds like his “callers” really are people in the same room.
Yo Bea*ch, get yo mutha fuckin’ ass out my way, I cum in the name Jeebus H Christ, bea*ch!
I like his way of appealing directly to the intellectualism in the modern day Church, his inspirational method just makes me want to become a theologist too.
If you watch Baptazia church services with Rev. Andy on youtube his preaching sounds like he is swearing and using the F word. Whatever gets the folks stirred up, I guess, but church sure ain’t what it used to be. All that crazy howling, twitching, and booty shaking booty is very sensual. Makes you kind of wonder what happens during the “coffee” hour.
Black Americans are Americas most religious ethnic group. About 70% of them believe everything in the Bible is true. (I wish I could remember which college did the research and the polling) Most of us on this web-site would agree, the less religious a place or people are the better (compare America to Western Europe, or Mississippi to Oregon) And yet when we talk about the problems facing Black America, not one will mention that maybe too much religion could be one cause of those problems.
I once spend a summer teaching urban Blacks how to use Microsoft Word. Talking to most of them about religion, was like talking to some backwoods white bible thumper.
And that is exactly why my family doesn’t know that I and my husband are Atheist. I honestly think they would report us to child services for raising our children to be freethinkers, and sadly that’s not a joke. One of the biggest problems facing the Black community is a lack of education, and if can‘t be blamed on “the white man“, because plenty of them are making the choice to remain ignorant, because knowledge is often times seen as evil.
I actually got into a debate about religion with a girl I went to high school with, she said and I quote “People with time to learn about history have too much time on their hands, and I have better things to do!” I was disgusted and horrified. But a vast number of “my people” think this way. The only knowledge they claim to need comes from the bible, yet most of them don’t even read it. They just get lead by those over their churches, most of whom I see as pimps (money hungry, liars who don‘t care about those they are controlling).
Another brilliant quote I heard from a friend of my father’s was: “Thank god for our pastors who blind us to the world, so we can stay focused on the lord’s word”. This was after I had mentioned evolution…something no one in my family really has a grasp of, since they all deeply believe that god made the first man and woman, and there is no way we could have evolved. Even though over half of them act like complete animals. But it’s all good apparently because they are saved so they have a permanent get out of hell free card. *rolls eyes*
@ Rayven. Another problem I see if the unholy alliance between black clergy and the black political class. Black ministers are often king makers in urban politics. This is why Obama had to go to Rev. Wright’s church. Could Obama ever have gotten elected in Chicago without having to bow to Jesus and Rev Wright first?
Most of us would agree that Obama is not a Bible literalist. (and maybe an atheist) He must know first hand how the extreme religious belief is hurting the Black community, but would he ever speak out (would any America politician speak out, I doubt it)
Sadly the status-quo benefits to many people.
In late 1960s, early 1970s comedians like Bill Crosby, Red Foxx and Flip Wilson use to mock the black clergy as con men and crooks. Today’s Black sit-coms and Tyler Perry movies show them as heroes. T.D. Jakes a hero?
@Mark D: There really is this pack with them. The black politicians rub the black clergies backs and before you know it they have whole congregations behind them (and both parties have plenty of money rolling in). That is the one thing that got me about Obama, most of the people (family included) who voted for him hardly knew his politics. My family was so surprised that I actually voted for him (they assumed I had voted for McCain because my husband is white, so clearly I was going to be “lead” to the white guy). I actually started talking about why I had voted for Obama and they all just basically tuned me out. They hadn’t given any more thought outside the fact that their pastor had been a supporter, and said “he was a man of god”. Yeah I watched the inauguration, Obama looked like me when I have to sit through a family gathering that involves a vomit inducing amount of prayer.
Will he every stand up and say that religion is causing most (if not all) the problems in our society, of course not. I’ve actually had to listen to people praise god, because Christians are stomping all over the constitution in an attempt to push Christianity on all of us. A great example of the hypocrisy in the community would be Steve Harvey. His greatness as a man of god is preached, his book is recommended in church groups, his brain-less quotes fill up FB statuses, yet his comedy was riddled with profanity and disrespect, yet he is a great man? Just like with TD Jakes I would have to say no!
You know, this is one of the reasons I’m looking forward to Obama being out of office. Not that I wouldn’t want him to have a second term first – I surely would’ve voted for him, were I a US citizen.
What I mean is, he must have an absolute mouthful to say once he no longer has to worry about winning votes or currying favour. I have a hunch that the first book he writes after his time in office will deal with some of these issues, and it’ll be explosive.
There are a few African American scholars (and a few within pop culture) who’ve talked about the problem of religion. Problem is, they don’t get the airtime that a Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson will get. If we want to look at any colonized ethnic group, one common problem you find is that the ethnic group got religion, while the colonizer got the land (or the people themselves, if you want to talk about chattel slavery in the US). I’d hazard a guess that among African Americans and Latinos, the belief in a god who’ll fix things in the afterwhile is a compensatory mechanism used in order to make sense of suffering in this life. Norm Allen and Anthony Pinn are two of the handful of black folk who talk openly about humanism/atheism.
Rayven, I know where you’re coming from. I was in a barber shop in Nashville and was listening to my barber go on about his daughter and her conversation with a classmate who didn’t believe in god (smart kid!)–he claimed to be proud of her when she allegedly told this kid that he was going to hell.
I have totally had customers like this…and that’s on the mild end.
I like the gap in his teeth. I think I’ll dress like him for Halloween.
And they wonder why people are prejudice. *shakes head*
…based on one video of one crackhead, racism is justified? And who is this “they” of whom you speak, hmm?
I am in agreement with Roger on this one. I certainly wouldn’t want people lumping me in with white people like Fred Phelps.
…still waiting on a response “AnAtheistsPhilosophy.” However, something tells me that one will not be forthcoming.
Cocaine is a helluva drug!
I am so excited to finally learn how to properly ask, “Whas’ hatnin?’
Hahahahahahahaha! I’ll be laughing over this for weeks!
I just have to wonder if he’s learned that by rote, or if he actually knows it can be expanded out to “What’s happening?”
This is a green screen joke. I don’t have any proof of this besides having watched the video and found it to be strongly satirical. Come on guys, this guy isn’t trying to convert anyone, he’s trying to make the people that are look ridiculous.
If he is SO afro-centric, then why is there a picture of an European or North American landscape in the background?
I think this is an inverse of Poe’s law: it is impossible to create a work of fundamentalism that someone won’t mistake for a parody.
