(1,045 posts)I'm an in-betweener. I don't think I quite qualify as agnostic but I don't put much thought into it. I appreciate the black church population because I grew up in it, but eventually separated because I think I was raised well. I really don't need the Bible to catalyze my tendency to empathize, treat others how I want to be treated, keep my hands out of other folks' pockets, and all the other stuff. I still go to church periodically because I like the life lessons. Otherwise, I pray and meditate how I see fit.
I'm in a thought process where I think...hmmm. If black folks arent church-going, we are swept aside. And I am probably reaching, but I think if we aren't church folk, then we are categorized as "ghetto" or radical. And I'm not really either.
I really think people and politicians are disconnected because though my relatively quiet type life is not shown in media, it surely exists.
Hillary, if she is nominated, is bout to learn some stuff. In a way, I think she may be ready....but we most certainly will see.
