Black Men Do Go to Church…

Christianity: Your “Get Out of Jail Free” Card…

(ThyBlackMan.com) There’s nothing more awkward than to be the one southern black man in the room who says that he’s not quite sure about Christianity.  No one attacks you for asking questions, they just “pray” for you.   Some will talk to you like a mentally-disabled two year old who has never been taught to see the light.  You might even... [Read more...]

(ThyBlackMan.com) There’s a plague that is infecting Christians today that I hope to eradicate.
