Where is your evidence that the church produced them?
What if there is another explanation? Maybe the church just can't sabotge some souls.
Dear Mr. Umbrarchist,
Evidence? Why on earth would I feel compelled to present “evidence” when my original claims have yet to be called into question? It is one thing to interject the idea of alternate causality into a discussion, it is entirely another to back it up with specific ideas and practical examples; something you failed to do. None of my claims are controversial and all of them are well attested to by mainstream African American scholarship, current and old. Make your case for what other American, African American, or African institutions generated Black leaders in America and I will respond accordingly. When and if this discussion ever reaches the practical plain of existence where the lives of Black people are hanging on our every word, then, let’s present our evidence. In the meantime, I only ask of others what I am prepared to do myself: be specific and use example.
By the way, you have always intrigued me: in your cryptic, almost poetic queries, with very little you always manage to say so much. Your illuminating reflections on science and technology are only out done by your witty and dryly sardonic witticisms on science fiction and religion (especially the hypocrisy that often accompanies the latter of the two).
I must say, however, that I have never met a disgruntled Catholic of any ethnic background who did not leave the Catholic Church with a hair up their respective asses regarding the relevance and authenticity of all organized religion. Hence, I will take your criticisms with a grain of salt understanding that you just can’t help yourself.
Respect!
