Is it me or is it really difficult to find a black man that is a practicing Christian???

When i say Christian i dont jus mean a believer. I mean someone that is serious about God, attends church very regularly, reads, knows, understands and follows the bible, knows how to pray etc.

Of course i go to church and i know some maybe wondering y i dont look for a man there but that is the problem there are very few young christian men in da chruch these days. Around the ages of 19-24.

Dont get me wrong i am not criticising the men who are not like that but in putting all the other qualities that are needed in a man aside, this comes first in MY search for a partner.

does any1 else know what im chatting about or is it just me??? confused3

I'm serious about God, but I'd never put one foot inside a church door. Sorry but I've got better things to do, like comb my head.

Yeah it is true that there ain't many Young men in the church these days. I counted the number of men between 20-35 in my church the other day, not that many. But the good news is that there are a lot boys between 16-19, so hopefully our number will continue to rise.

I agree that you will find such men in some churches..........KICC, House on the Rock and many more. Just visit and you will find out yourself. I am in the age range that you have mentioned, so at least you know one of them now.

@Peacemaker

Hmmm, a side attack or a snide attack.

I wonder if he feels I baited sooofresh into a useless duel about Jews/Muslims. When I thought she was baiting me!..I wonder if he knows I dont give a toss whether he's a Jew or not. The whole lot of them could get wiped out by the Palestinians and I wouldnt bat a eyelid..

But still side or snide..spidey sense telling me something here.confused3

Represent something in life.. the wonders of being a nihilist...how they get anything done?

Why don't you guys just leave her to look for her christian men....ain't got nothing to do with Islam or Judaism or atheism.

I think she did specify that was to do with HER personal choice of a partner so I respect that. Not my business. If a Muslim woman was looking a muslim man its also noy my business....

Lets be nice and respect each other you dig?

Well its a forum isnt it. Not a private conversation.

I hope Black men forget about this church rubbish. Makes them weak and doesnt address none of our problems directly.

You dig.

Next time I want a bloody censor Ill ask for one.
