“Many people have told me the United States was founded on a Jewish/Christian foundation of the Bible. In my study it is more than a faith foundation, and if you search the scriptures, or what Jesus said you will find the United States it is actually the opposite.

It is an easy way of doing something because the natural tendency of humans is self-centeredness.”

“Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have.”
“Many people , if not most , will boast about their religion or claim to be religious when they want to be seen as good or righteous. But my question is this.
Which religion allows you to kill or murder innocent people?
Which religion allows you to invade and attack those who are weak, vulnerable and innocent.
Which religion teaches you to hate others because of their skin color or because they are different from you?
Which religion permits lying, stealing, or encourages you to be mean, vile, toxic, rude, aggressive, abusive, bullying, or offensive toward others?
Which religion allows you to rape others or sexually molesting them.
If these things are happening, then one of two things must be true. Either you need to change your religion, or your religion needs to change you.”

It wasn’t designed to fail, but it wasn’t designed to succeed, either; the intent behind it was not rooted in a desire to help black people attain equal standing in society. It was riot insurance. It was a financial incentive for blacks to stay in their own communities and out of the suburbs.”
