What is the point in converting people to believe in nothing? Do they get a reward for it? I don't understand why it is nessacery. Christians or "black christians" are not harming you so why do care about what they believe in.

Why would you want other African Americans to join in the misery, perceived rejection, and bitterness you obviously spend every day living in?
1. The bible never said it was okay to beat slaves. The bible does talk about a master and servant relationship, but this is not talking about white men ruling over black men. Jesus was a servant himself. The bible is discussing submission to authority.
2. It's not the responsibility for a Pastor to reduce crime. The Lord gave each of us free will. You have free will, and you have chosen to stray from your maker and judge those around you. If your worried about the crime rates, start praying for the people working in areas of crime to have the wisdom to stand up against the temptations.
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Matthew 26:41
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
3. Doing the worst in who's opinion? The blood of Christ covers all sins. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Luke 6:37 I know several African American people who are talking the talk, and walking the walk. It sounds that you are more harsh on the African American people then anyone those you suggested were supposedly against them.
4. This one is just absolutely ridiculous! Where are you getting this information from??? The original chosen people were Jewish, not white! The Christian religion is not based on white people. It's apparent that you have some anger and possibly unforgiveness issues brewing here. The enemy loves to destort the truth, like giving you just enough truth to get your attention and all the rest lies. Please spend some time to research your theories. Your way off on this one.
5. The only white racist movement involving white Christian is the one in your head, or may some tiny country town somewhere. Again, please research your theories and not by reading tracks - actually go to a city library and start reading.
6. Where did you get the statistic that African Americans are the most devoted Christians in this country? It's actually woman, no race involved, who are the most devoted Christians. Regarding family values... You are severely stereo typing the African American race here. I feel like your conclusions are based on past hurts and maybe your own family life growing up. Your statements are so generalized, and it's obvious that your statistics are only your own speculations.
The issue isn't trying to make other African American people become atheist in order to save the race... The issue is with a man who is hurt, broken, and crying out for something or someone to take all the pain away. Maybe you feel like the Lord deserted you, or maybe something so horrible happened that you couldn't possibly go on believeing He was real. Whatever the issue is that occured in your life, trust me, the Lord is real, He loves you and is waiting for His prodigal son to return, you.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalms 139:13
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6

you haven't studied have you?
The bible never condones beating of slave in fact it gives instruction on how to treat them fairly.
Black people aren't the most godly just because they are black
Slave owners didn't make them Christian, it was a choice they freely made.
Christianity isn't a white movement, Christianity actually started among the Jews.
and the most devoted Christians I have ever met are not black but they are people who devour the bible and believe every word of GOD no matter what color they are.
I have a question for you.
Why are you so racist as to only want black people to go to hell, shouldn't you want everybody there with you?

hopefully you won't have any luck converting anyone into atheism. you're going against the word of God, and God will stand up for his word. it's not something that you can say you believe in or not. you have to believe in God, because it's foolish to not believe in someone who exists. the bible never said it was okay to beat slaves. i don't know that kind of a bible you're looking at. pastors were not put on this sinful earth to reduce crime rates, they were put here to support, and tell people about Christianity. This earth is full of crime because devil is present, and he acts through people like you, trying to tell them that there's no such thing as God so they would go to hell. Why are you so against God? if you become a Christian, it won't hurt you, it will help you, even if there was no such thing as God. but if you reject God, you'll go to hell.

Why are you concerned with trying to convert others to see it your way? Can you not respect the fact that all people have a right to believe what they choose to believe? Who are you to impose your beliefs on someone who is perfectly content with their faith? If you chose to be Atheist, then that is your right. Respect the rights of others by allowing them to follow the religious path that they have chosen - whether you think it's right or not. Don't get all Tom Cruise on them.

Things happen not because of GOD but because of Man's own free will and decision to do immoral and evil things remember that.
I hope that you see the light through Christ JESUS. What you are asking is also a prejudice question, and you seem very angry, which is not good. Plus I think that you are mad at the wrong person
If you draw nearer to GOD/CHRIST you will be much happier and less angry. Hope this helps!!!!! People need to fess up to their own faults and need to stop pointing the finger, No man can equate themselves with GOD, so I would not want to get on his Bad side!
GOD BLESS!!!!!

Sounds like you've answered your own question. I think blacks cling to religion because in the past they didn't have anything else and it was a bond they all shared. Because their family values are so bad now the church serves as a family and a community in which they find an identity. Good luck!

The Bible said it was okay to beat slaves? I did not know that. Well, you definitley made some valid points, but you shouldn't push your beliefs on others, because I'm sure you woudn't want Christians pushing their beliefes on you.

send them to the afterlife a little early, and ask them to send you back pictures of heaven or hell via email. when you dont get any emails from heaven or hell, show your pathetic mail list to any other believers and surely they will join you in your atheism. the more important question is, is why would you want to 'convert' anyone anyway?
