@mousy,

More of your slant on every subject. Is it always an issue of blacks and whites with you?
I believe we pray to the same God.
The difference you are asking about says more about the ones praying than about God.

hmm good question but a bit dated. I have personally served no mis justice on any minority and I'm the living definition of "The Man".

"God is what you make of it" Even if your in the same faith as another person. If everyone on earth sat down and completed a one hundred question survey (essay style), about what god was and what he stood for, no two people on earth would agree. But yet somehow everybody thinks they understand him/her.

@mousy,

Ask 10 people about God and you will get 12 different answers.

Do whites pray for a heaven of blacks in bondage and slaves to their every whimper whilest blacks dream and pray of a heaven where whites burn CRISPY in HELL.
If blacks pray to the God of the Bible(jew god)is it due to the numerous references of its claim of a JUDGE that would not tolerate sin. Any other feasible reason?

Or perhaps the God of Isreal is deaf, dumb, and blind

Personally I liked the story that I think zozo posted, about the six blind indians. That exemplifies this situation very well.

And when Germans dream of heaven.. are the walls decked with jew blood? And when jews dream of heaven.. are the Germans forgiven and treated like kings?

It was plain from the crucifixion(Bible)even the jews don't believe the King Of The Jews

@mousy,

I've already explained in detail the Nazi phenomenon. Nazi Germans succumbed to pre-Christian, tribal impulses that lingered in their collective consciousness since antiquity. It was as if they embraced two religions, totally opposed to each other, simultaneously. Hardcore Nazis scrapped Christianity altogether. Hatred of the Jews in Central and Eastern Europe has always been passionate and deadly. I suspect it remains that way even today.

It doesn't matter what people think of God. What matters is what God thinks of people.

Faulty premise.

because I take responsibility for my actions and I find playing favorites based on melatonin levels to be a neanderthalic practice.

Good for you. However, are you really aware of all the first, second, and third order effects of your beliefs, actions, and inaction? I doubt it.

Your statement indicates a belief that you are nearly omnicient when it comes to the impact you have on the world.

I do my best not to discriminate or even recognize shades of color. I am not arrogant enough to believe I know all of the effects that my beliefs, inaction, or action cause.

way to put words in my mouth!

I honestly don't consider my impact on such things, I do my best and I move on. What more can you ask of a man?

So, you fire and forget?

@mousy,

no I consider, I act, and then I move on making corrections to my actions as needed in a process of constant refinement.

you seem quick to question everyone else's methodology, what do YOU do?

@mousy,

I think the whites use God to their own ends, and quote the bible for text that suits the occasion. I think we use God more as a tool, whereas to genuine black christian, God is a symbol of hope & celebration!
