Kwanzaa is an American created religion like Mormonism or Scientology.

Yeah, it's godless and could probably be said to be blasphemous against Christianity.

You got me interested:

It was created by Black studies professor and activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of Africa, including West and Southeast Africa. Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966.

Yup, he created this around 5 years prior to being convicted of imprisoning and torturing women who he apparently suspected were being disloyal to the black supremacy cult he founded.

kind of embarassing for an african to worship jesus though, their slave owner's religion, kwanza is also fake but they should worship the ancient african gods

Huh? Jews don't worship Christ, they killed him and hate him to this day thousands of years later.

Africans were Christians long before the north Atlantic slave trade.

doubt that but if so it was due to the mediterranean slave trade

Talk like an Egyptian.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

maybe they could worship the egyptian gods, the egyptians weren't black, but at least they did share some of the cultural exchange of religion

    Yep, and West Africa religions were up there with the Aztecs when it comes to human sacrifice. There are good reasons from abandoning those beliefs. With Christianity you can convert those old blood thirsty gods to saints, as happened in Europe, and keep their lessons without having to give sacrifice.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    and christianity started because john the baptist said you didn't need to give animals to the temple as sacrafice, which was costly for poor jews. He said you could just dunk your head in water. The high priests made up the religion as a way to get free food from dumb peasants.

    [–]jet199 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Before they sacrificed animals they sacrificed people. The move to animals was progress at the time.

    [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    true yep. I think they also ate the people they sacraficed. The eucharist, where you eat what is symbolically the body of christ, is a vestige of that, and was started to say you could do this instead of eating people now, and drink wine instead of drinking blood. Orthodox jews probably don't like all these changes.

    Why don't you tell that the Ethiopian Christians https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+Ethiopian+Christians.

    i would. They're worshipping white man's religion, idiots.

    What does melanin levels in the skin have to do with belief systems?

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

    nothing on the surface but in reality skin color matters for everything, politics, economy, and also religion

    [–]sproketboy 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    nothing on the surface but in reality skin color matters for everything

    That sentence makes no sense.

    FYI Ethiopians were Christians before the Northern Europeans.

    Oh look, it's the Jewish account being openly racist again!

    "Israeli ultranationalists in private conversations even welcome the comparison to Apartheid, because they think Apartheid was gentler than what modern Israel has achieved. Under Apartheid, the black South Africans could travel to white-controlled zones for work. Under the Israeli program the Palestinians languish behind 35-foot-tall concrete walls in what are little more than open air prisons with the Israelis controlling Palestinian access to power, food and water."

    Then it gets to spew its garbage in my threads without refutation.

    No garbage spewing from me pal. You consider it garbage because I have a different opinion than you.

    I think he's a based conservative trying to make jews look bad, which would be ok to criticize openly but his satire account is cringe

    [–]ShalomEveryone 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    I'm not "based", nor a conservative. This is not a satire account, what I say is the truth. People here deny the holocaust happen, I post proof that the holocaust took place. People say Israel started the six day war, I post proof that it was started by Syria and Egypt. I get called all kinds of things here because I have a different opinion than others.

    No, you just believe that anyone who is racist must be a straight, white, conservative, male.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    definitely not really a jewish person, they would be offended by him saying shalom wrongly on every comment, it's only supposed to be used among fellow jewish people. He's just trying to make this site look antisemitic since it's a caricture of what a jewish person would be like.
