I guess if one thinks that her Religion has her enslaved, a statement such as the one above,makes sense.Further more most religions with all the dos and don’ts you could say,is a form of slavery.I’m not a Religious person but I do believe in God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ.Yes I am a Christian.
Saying that religion is slavery is a strong statement and the comparison is certainly appropriate in some cases. When you consider that a certain holy book endorses enslaving people along with McQueens lineage this statement becomes incredibly powerful and dripping with meaning and emotion. It is an incredible statement.
It’s always seamed strange to me that so many black Americans embrace a religion that was forced upon their ancestors by their oppressors. But then again the power and persistence of religion in the United States mystifies most of us here in Europe.
It’s strange to me that people who are either explicitly or implicitly condemned or relagated by their religion still choose to follow it. Black, gay, or female? Why join a religion?
It mystifies you that America is religiously persistant? Europe, through its religious intolerence, sent all of its Puritans here. Gosh thanks, by the way. Why didn’t you just send all your nudist colonies? Life would be much more interesting.
are you taking issue with HANNAH MONTANA ????? One of the GREATEST talents of our time ?????? For Shame !!!!!!! okay, just kidding !
but remember, Hannah is a creation of Disney. and, Disney is the greatest
existing proponent (and exporter) of the REAL modern religion…….
MARKETING !!!!!!! Disney is the world leader in creating, promoting, and selling crap. Hannah alone, in 2008-2009 generated ONE BILLION $$$$
in revenue. !!!!!!
maybe the vatican oughtta hire Disney to take care of their P.R. ????
Religion is only good for one thing it seems and thats to give this site something to type about. here is no problem to find fault with religions and churches.They have all become back sliden over years.But God will still have a “PEOPLE” no matter what. He remains the yesterday ,today and forever.Amen

They need PR more than ever after Richard Dawkins slayed the church during his speech at the recent demonstration.
