Its funny? (no haha) that gawd fearin' people like dead old Herby think the whole jesus crowd..Moses and the gang are all 'white' folks.
I don't have a problem with a bunch black people going troppo' (as we say in Aust) and searching out their African roots. I do believe there are 'jews' in North Africa. In fact there are 'jews' about everywhere...even in Iran.
Anyway...I like the idea of 'jews for jesus' evangelicals having some competition for their charity dollar - that Israelis will have to work a little harder for their American bucks and funding for their weapons of mass destruction.
Africa is looking like its going to be the new "Jerusalem" for the wealthy / middleclass afro american's.
I bet there are already christian tour groups lining up to go to Africa, including baby part time missionaries.
crazy!

In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.
