I'll never understand how the black community so willingly accepts the doctrine that was forced on their ancestors through pain and death...

To be fair, there are Christian churches in Africa without any European influence involved (the Coptics for example).

SPC Paul Shene III - Christianity is an import in Africa. It didn't arise spontaneously. At some point in history there was a missionary with either weapons forcing conversions, or a missionary offering needed supplies in impoverished regions in exchange for conversion.

St. Mark didn't have a load of supplies when he did his mission work in the first half the of the first century, before the papacy existed. The Copts are a unique condition having no connection with the papacy, the Greek Orthodox, or the Protestant branches. They are a window into what Christianity was before it got political power.

Not just with Blacks. I'm white and I got me 2, let me repeat, 2 Baptist ministers in the wings of my family. I can't stand their 'I'm holier than thou' attitudes.
