The Distraction of Religions Vs Spirituality

I pray that you do not fall prey... Years of watching my people getting caught up in the snares of religious traps; Traps set to keep knee-grows on their knees and us impoverished people tied to the worship of the wealthy; "White Jesus concepts / White master" concepts. No one has prayed harder and loved and sacrificed more than we have. And yet are we still grabbing at the straws. We had everything we needed and were in a rich land, where the God of creation had placed us. We foolishly welcomed in the devil Who came to steal, kill and destroy! He has plundered the riches from your land and stolen our people. Now wants us to kiss the symbol of our own destruction; We are not innocent children anymore; We cannot afford to be as naïve as before; Stand up ye mighty PEOPLE and become men and women again. We had our ways; Our ways were not their ways; They who despise us; Would they send their God to save us.? With the Bible in one hand- and the Koran in the other hand yet both their hands have despised and enslaved us. With what hand do we hold onto the God that made us in his own image, gave us his attributes, and placed us in Paradise as stewards of Paradise? And… with what hand do, we use to protect ourselves our families and our, land.? With what hand do we use to record our own history and write our stories. He who has stolen your heart, has also stolen your dignity and love for self. There are only two kinds of Men in ‘’Mankind’’. Those who are righteous, and those who are unrighteous. You will distinguish them by their deeds, and not by their ‘’religions’’ or ‘’lack thereof.
